Visit Business Insider's homepage for more storiesIt's official — Tesla's fourth car factory, its second in the United States, will be in Austin, Texas.following a fierce bidding process that also involved Tulsa, Oklahoma and others.

What is currently a concrete plant on a rural swath of land in the city's southeast quadrant airport will soon be home to a 5 million square foot plant for Tesla's Cybertruck, its Semi truck, as well as Model 3 and Y. The company says it hopes to hire up to 5,000 workers at a starting wage of $15 an hour for many of the low-skill manufacturing roles.

But the decision wasn't without controversy, as with most tasks undertaken by Tesla and Musk. At a series of public meetings, citizens turned out in force to remind county commissioners of past legal issues the company's had with regards to labor relations, worker safety, unions, and environmental impact.

If you're smarter than a 5th grader, you wouldn't move to TExas. You would move all your money to an offshore account, establish headquarters in a strong currency country, and then use Asian labor and sell it to America for a higher price. Cheaper taxes/moving is old fashion.

keep your potable water weird, austin

It’s not in Austin. It’s east of Austin. They are not within city limits. Please correct this error.

I'm glad Tesla is coming to Texas, but I heard the other location being considered was Tulsa, OK. You have to admit 'Tesla Tulsa' has a nice ring to it! 😁

Why didn’t they pick california, the liberal utopia?

Congratulations Governor... GavinNewsom That’s what we need now... push business out of state... that should help you address the huge hole you have in the budget 🤔

“Travis County and a local school district's deal for more than $65 million in tax rebates over 10 years won over the electric-car maker.” A LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICT. Where do y’all think Texas lawmakers will make those cuts now that they’ve drained their budget?

oh it’s lit

Texas has more truck owners than any other state in the nation. It's about the optics and the taxes.

More liberals to texas😅

Is this where my Cybertruck will be built? 💰😎😁

Elon will need to make a king ranch glammed up 100k edition for the high rollers to make the cherry on top.

Would like to see how many millions of public money did the state and city throw at this millionaire to sponsor the location. Let's see the contract.

I’m moving to Austin

Hipster capital of the USA
