Tesla will build its newest Gigafactory near Austin, Texas, Chief Executive Elon Musk announced during the company's earnings call on Wednesday.

The area takes up about 2,000 acres and will be roughly 15 minutes from downtown Austin, Musk said. He said the factory will be an "ecological paradise" and that it will be open to the public.
The site will be used to build the company's Cybertruck.

Musk also added that Tesla will continue to grow in California, where it will build the Tesla Model S and the Model X for global deliveries and the Tesla Model 3 and Tesla Model Y for North America

Travis County, where the new car plant will reside, voted earlier this month to give Tesla tax breaks worth a minimum of $14.7 million to build the plant to bring jobs to the area. Tesla employs about 10,000 people at its only U.S. car plant today in Fremont, California.

Not sure if Latin-Americans will still be "blue" after the Democratic party's transition into full Marxism is complete.

15 minutes from downtown Austin
taking traffic into consideration, that must be about 3.5 miles from city center.

Your governor is just peachy!!!

To the extent CA is doing "fine" it is because their natural advantages are hard to frick up. They could be doing a lot finer with competent leadership.

Is this the thread where Louisianans act like getting a huge factory is a bad thing for Austin and Texas and that Louisiana government is so much better then California government?
