Cybertruck Gigafactory Location Will Be More Than Halfway to East Coast

[Mini2nut]

I think Elon is lava mad right now and wants to pull out of CA altogether. The assembly line employees are non-union so it would be feasible. Tesla just updated the paint shop at Fremont so I don’t see Cybertruck assembly happening in CA.

Tesla has officially filed suit against Alameda County, asking the court to grant injunctive relief on the basis of there being "no rational basis" for the factory shutdown.

Welcome to Texas, Tesla. You may not have been born here.. but you got here as fast as you could.

Surprised that they haven't spoken until recently. But now that they have and considering situation with Fremont reopning, I think it's Cybertruck Giga Factory in Texas pretty much foregone conclusion.

Hmm... That does put a tick mark in the Texas column...

If they want to have a vehicle with the smallest carbon footprint, it should be built somewhere where the energy mix is predominantly renewable. In British Columbia, 94% of our electricity comes from hydro power.

I like your logic here ?

Hmmm, Elon has put his houses in So. Cal. up for sale. I wonder how much of a tax benefit it would be to reside in Texas as opposed to California.

Texas has far lower property and income taxes than the People's Republic of California. This is one of the reasons why the 2020 census will show people moving from CA, NY, NJ, IL to TX.

CA is business hostile TX is business friendly. Investing in CA now is very cost ineffective.
