Tesla is creating an ecological paradise next to the Giga Texas plant

Last April, Tesla opened a facility called Giga Texas that will have the capacity to produce 500,000 vehicles a year. The plant covers an area of ​​250 hectares and currently produces 250,000 vehicles per year. Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced on Twitter that the company will expand its land area after the Giga Texas plant is at full capacity. This area will be called “ecological paradise”, and it is an additional 522,720 feet (12 hectares) that will be open to the public and will have a boardwalk and numerous amenities.

This is positive news for Tesla, as the company has recently been under fire for safety and mechanical problems. Despite this, Tesla records sales growth every year. Last year, the company recorded a growth of 3 percent compared to 2020, and in the first six months of this year, 564,700 vehicles were delivered.

Six months ago, Tesla opened its first plant in Europe. It is a $5 billion investment, with which the company wants to reduce the pressure on plants in Asia and the United States. “This is a big day for the factory and it is another step towards a sustainable future,” Musk said.

At full capacity, the plant will produce 500,000 vehicles per year, significantly more than Volkswagen, which sold 450,000 electric vehicles worldwide last year.

The first Tesla production plant in Europe

Yesterday, Elon Musk showed a $ 5 billion investment. It is the first Tesla plant on the old continent (Europe), with which Tesla wants to reduce the pressure on plants in Asia and the United States.

“This is a big day for the factory and it is another step towards a sustainable future,” Musk said.

This event was supposed to happen eight months ago, but the opening was delayed due to problems with the issuance of licenses by local authorities. This is an important investment in the German automotive industry, the largest in recent history, but also a good indicator of a bright future.

At full capacity, the factory should produce 500,000 cars a year, significantly more than Volkswagen, which sold 450,000 electric vehicles worldwide last year.

However, the world media mostly write about what the founder of Tesla did at the opening. Musk was seen dancing as he announced the delivery of Tesla’s first German-made cars.

This event did not pass without protest either. Near the factory, environmental organizations have expressed a number of concerns from the amount of water used in production to the number of trees cut down to build it.

Jump with a Tesla car

The unknown driver decided to make a jump with his Tesla car after a gathering of fans of this manufacturer in Los Angeles. It all happened in Echo Park, and a $ 100,000 Tesla car suffered visible damage.

According to YouTube user Alex Choi, who posted the video, the driver of this Tesla decided to go to the place where another YouTube user, David Dobrik, made a jump in Tesla Model X. This crazy jump was not successful, and Tesla’s limousine ended in a parked Subaru Forester. Fortunately, no one was hurt.

Police are currently collecting data on this event, and have even announced a reward for information that will lead to the identification of the driver.

“Currently we do not have a description of the driver, and Tesla has been abandoned. A violation has been committed and detectives are working to find the suspect,” a police spokesman told Newsweek.

The video has over a million views on YouTube, and is another proof that people are willing to do anything, even the craziest things, for popularity.
