Where will Tesla build its ‘Gigafactory’?Nevada is one of the best locations according to this article.
"
Some say New Mexico. Others say Nevada. Texas is a possibility too.
Musk has said that the giga factory plant will be “heavily powered by renewables, wind and solar,” so speculation is rampant that the facility will be in the American Southwest, where solar is abundant. But there’s a lot of wind in Wyoming. And Texas makes political sense.
I’m sure the economic development offices of various states are battling it out, as are the utilities that would be powering this facility. Any gigafactory is going to require massive amounts of electricity to operate, so electricity pricing is likely to be a big factor. NV Energy is now a division of Warren Buffet’s MidAmerican Holdings, which is intriguing."
