Telsa Touts 5,000 "Middle Skill" Jobs For Texas Assembly Plant

Telsa Touts 5,000

Executives from Tesla Inc. will use an unassuming job-type description in their pitch to a Texas county on the merits of the carmaker’s Cybertruck plant project.

The factory would bring 5,000 “middle-skill” jobs to Travis County, according to the presentation Tesla officials will deliver during an online meeting Tuesday. The company says it will create positions that pay solid wages without requiring substantial levels of higher education.

Hate for California put aside for the moment, it would seem automakers of late believe that you need to put your "truck" plant in Texas to give your vehicle some street cred. Not sure why this is. Made in America is not enough, it needs to be built in the Lone Star state to be authentically "American Made".

Go figure....

@Agent009 - There are more pickup trucks per-person in Texas, but there are more pickup trucks overall in California.

It has nothing to do with Texas being the truck capital, in the end, it comes down to pure dollars and cents. California has made doing business in California so toxic, it would be foolish to not start looking for more business friendly environments to operate from. Why do you think so many companies in general move from high tax states like California, New York, New Jersey, Michigan etc., to lower tax states. Heck, with all this nonsense going on in Washington, specifically Seattle, wait until companies start leaving their in droves seeking better circumstances.

Tesla will open the factory in whichever state gives it the biggest incentives. When Texas's incentives run out, it will move again.

The entire business model of Tesla is to harvest government subsidies...and it still can't make an annual profit in 17 years of operations.

Is "middle skill" a tag you want to publicly brand workers with? I get what it means but think there would be a better way of saying and communicating it. "What do you do for a living dad?" "Well son I'm a middle skilled employee who reports to highly skilled people." Just saying...
