As the demand for electric vehicles is gradually increasing in the market, Tesla is upping its supply solutions by opening massive manufacturing plants for its vehicle lines. Now, the company recently confirmed that it will open yet another 5 million sq. ft. Tesla factory in Austin, Texas.
Now, before the decision was made, there were a lot of controversies, as it usually is with Tesla and Musk. Prior to the final decision, many citizens came out to remind the county commissioner about the previous issues with Tesla’s other factories with cases relating to worker safety, labor relations unionism, and environmental impact.
Nonetheless, Musk was able to acquire the land as well as get permission to build the manufacturing plant. The CEO was also happy to announce that after the completion of the plant, the area will be open to the public for various recreational opportunities as the land, according to Elon, is an “ecological paradise”.
