Texans Descend Upon New Gigafactory Site In Celebration

Tesla’s recent announcement of Texas for its next Gigafactory has been well received by the owners’ community in the state. On Saturday, members from the Tesla Owners Club of Austin gathered at a nearby shopping center before heading to the factory’s chosen location in a parade-style caravan.

The celebratory group comprised about 75 owners, according to local news channel KXAN’s on-site reporting. Prior to heading out to the Gigafactory construction site, which is about 15 minutes from downtown Austin and near the Colorado River, the members took some time to network. Afterward, they enjoyed either a drive-in movie or dinner at a local restaurant, as indicated on their club’s event page.

Unfortunately, this plant will primarily benefit those living in Austin, who routinely vote against the pro-job growth policies that attracted Tesla to Texas to begin with.
