Tesla picks Austin for its next US factory to build Cybertruck, Semi truck, Model Y

preview

Wednesday&nbsp;Tesla CEO Elon Musk described the future factory as an “ecological paradise,” with a boardwalk and bike lanes and where the public will be welcome. While tours have been offered at Tesla’s Fremont, California, factory, the campus is not open for the public to wander its grounds.Musk said the Fremont factory will continue to play a critical role for Tesla, a shift in tone from earlier this year when he threatened to leave California over COVID-19-related government shutdowns. He added that it will make sense to build the Roadster at the Fremont factory.Musk thanked Tulsa and Oklahoma and noted on the call that he and the team were “super impressed” by the state and would consider it for a future site.“Tulsa was always considered the underdog but we gave it our all. We truly believed we were going to be selected until the end,” Sean Kouplen, Oklahoma Secretary of Commerce and Workforce Development, said in an emailed statement. “The way the entire state rallied to try to persuade Tesla was absolutely amazing. Elon Musk said he had never seen anything like it before. It makes me very proud to be an Oklahoman.”&nbsp;&nbsp;Kouplen said that Oklahoma will now&nbsp;actively pursue its supplier base to persuade them to locate in the state.“Oklahoma is an ideal location for automotive companies and OEMs,” Kouplen said, touting its central location and accessibility by rail, road and water.&nbsp;
