GIGA TEXAS! AUSTIN TO BUILD TESLA’S NEW CYBERTRUCK & TESLA SEMI
Tesla has revealed the location of its next US Gigafactory as the city of Austin, in Texas, where it says work has already begun on what will be a 2,000 acre “ecological paradise.”
Speaking following the company’s Q2 2020 results announcement on Thursday morning (AEST), Tesla co-founder and CEO Elon Musk said the under-construction “Giga Texas” would manufacture Tesla’s much-hyped electric utility, the Cybertruck (or electric ute) as well as the Tesla Semi, and the Models 3 and Y EVs for the eastern half of north America.
Its California operations will continue to build the Model X and Model S cars, as well as Model 3 and Model Y cars for the western market in the US.
Another Gigafactory is being built in Berlin (artist’s impression pictured above), adding to the Shanghai Gigafactory in China that is already in operation.
“We’re … very excited to announce that we’re going to be building our next Gigafactory in Texas,” Musk told an investor briefing following the results call.

THE EDGE DWELLERS – CHOPPERS
Today expensive homes dot the hills of Austin’s western fringe. But there was a time, not so long ago, when respectable townspeople avoided the highlands just outside the city. There, along the Balcones Escarpment, a reclusive folk known as cedar choppers lived hard and free on the rugged terrain, and polite company kept its distance.
