The facility would create about 9,700 jobs and Tesla is also evaluating other U.S. states as alternatives. Without incentives, the estimated property tax liability would be roughly $1.1 billion over 37 years. Tesla aims to break ground this year, finish construction by 2028, and start producing panels in 2029, as part of a broader plan to build 100 gigawatts of U.S. manufacturing capacity by 2028. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
