The construction started on July 2020 and its first phase is scheduled to be finished by May 2021, followed by the beginning of the production. Tesla announced a deal to build a brand new factory in Austin, Texas, in 2000 acre land they bought. During the project initiation, the automaker planned to produce the electric pickup truck there and therefore the initial name was referred to as Cybertruck Gigafactory. However, the company first came up with a plan to manufacture the Model 3 and the Model Y at the factory, and the brand later renamed it “Gigafactory Texas”.

Tesla plans for the establishment of battery cell production at the factory and makes it an “ecological paradise” open to the public. In fact, a battery-related job opening for Tesla Gigafactory, Texas, was recently posted by the electric car maker on its Careers page. This job listing information was shared by Jerome Guillen, Automotive President, via his official LinkedIn account.
