I have no special knowledge of "why not elsewhere," but I do have general knowledge that a large industry such as automobile manufacturing consists not only of the major industry players but countless consultants, jobbers, job shops, prototyping shops, etc. that can turn work around faster than large bureaucracies can.
So, for that reason, car makers including transplants cluster in the upper half of the middle third of the US.
When there are exceptions, such as Mercedes' SUV plant in Alabama, the explanation usually is that the cars' major components come from the home country. I was told that the Mercedes SUV when first built in Alabama was built around an assembly consisting of from the engine through the steering wheel, that was already assembled and QC'ed in Germany.
That is why no matter what incentives a state like Rhode Island can offer, no foreign car maker will locate a plant here, because the little infrastructure we have is keyed to the nuclear submarine business in nearby Connecticut.
But, things change. But I would not hold my breath for India to come on line very soon. China is unique.
