Tesla, the company that makes electric cars, is building a HUGE new factory in Texas! It's not for cars, though. This factory will make giant batteries to store energy from solar panels and other sources. This is a big deal because it shows Tesla is getting serious about clean energy, not just electric vehicles. It's like a super-sized battery warehouse!
- The factory will be super big – over 1 million square feet!
- Tesla will get tax breaks from the county to help build it.
- About 1,500 new jobs will be created.
- Tesla already has a similar factory in China.
