🔋 Tesla to Build New Megafactory in Texas

Tesla is set to build a 1-million-square-foot Megapack factory near Katy, Texas, focusing on battery storage production. The project, backed by a tax abatement agreement with Waller County, includes $150 million in Tesla manufacturing equipment and $44 million in facility upgrades. The new facility is expected to create 1,500 jobs. This expansion aligns with Elon Musk’s strategy to grow Tesla’s energy business, complementing its existing Gigafactory in China. The new factory will be located in Waller County, within the Empire West Business Park. This development reflects Tesla's ongoing commitment to expanding its energy storage capabilities and supporting the broader adoption of renewable energy solutions.
