"Gigafactory Texas is an automotive manufacturing facility near Austin, Texas, under construction by Tesla, Inc. since July 2020. Tesla aims to have it up and running by the end of 2021. The factory is planned to be the main factory for the Tesla Cybertruck and the Tesla Semi. "

Thre was also recent talk of lithium mining in west Tx. His Boring Co has recently found a new venture in Tx, & now with this public announcement of lithium in Arkansas, it is no surprise that he located his Tesla factory in the vicinity of the mine.

Where Tesla factories spring up, be sure there will be lithium nearby.

He has followed this pattern globally.

Tx being the business friendly State it is, certainly makes sense now hearing about Arkansas' lithium findings.
