“If you come work for Tesla Production Design you won’t be fed a toad sandwich”
Elon Musk also said in the opening remarks of the earnings call that they have finally chosen Texas as the location of the Cybertruck Gigafactory, it will most probably be located in Austin for which we posted a few photos and video of the possible site last month. He had dropped the hints of the next US Tesla Gigafactory in the Q1 2020 Earnings Call, now things are being finalized.
The thing that bugs me the most is that our cars are not affordable enough. We need to fix that.
