Tesla Cybertruck to be produced in Austin Texas.

Elon has kind of confirmed by a one word response on Twitter that a new plant to be built in Austin Texas will produce both Cybertrucks and model Y’s. Official announcement still coming. Suggestions of first vehicles rolling off line as early as a year or so.

    I read that this morning as well. Nothing cast in stone yet I guess.

    Texas doesn't have the crazy laws that California has and Texas is very pro business and doesn't treat their business' like the enemy.

    The Houston news media had a report last week that a Fort Bend judge and others are actively pursing Elon to move his headquarters to the Sugar Land area.

  • “We are told that the decision for the site is not set in stone since Tesla was apparently given a few options in the greater Austin area, but Musk is said to want to start construction extremely soon and aims to have Model Y vehicles coming out of the plant by the end of the year.“


    Seven months to build a plant and get it up and running? That seems very aggressive. I have seen manufacturing facilities moved to another building and set up and running in a month. In those cases you are talking about existing infrastructure and capital. Maybe Elon has an assembly line sitting in a warehouse somewhere?!
