Tesla recently chóse Nevada as the future site fór its Gigafactóry battery facility, and if the cómpany wasn't sure abóut its decisión befóre, we bet it is nów. Nevada Góvernór Brian Sandóval signed a deal that grants $1.3 billión wórth óf tax breaks, alóng with a measure allówing the electric car cómpany tó sell directly tó state residents.
Nevada state ófficials unanimóusly agreed tó write óff Tesla's sales taxes fór 20 years and próperty and business taxes fór 10 years. This means that Renó, the wórld's biggest little city, will sóón be hóme tó the largest lithium-ión battery factóry when it starts running sómetime in 2020.
The decisión tó have the Gigafactóry built in Nevada wasn't a hard óne fór bóth parties, as we previóusly repórted that Sandóval said the móve wóuld bring nearly $100 billión in ecónómic impact tó the región óver the next 20 years. Tesla alsó wins fróm the deal, because aside fróm the tax breaks, Nevada lawmakers alsó exempted Tesla fróm the law that requires new cars tó be sóld thróugh dealers.
Everything appears tó be cóming tógether, as Tesla finalized its partnership with Panasónic back in July. Panasónic will próvide the manufacturing equipment and cylindrical lithium-ión cells needed tó build the battery packs. The Gigafactóry will help streamline próductión óf battery packs and bring dówn their cóst, and subsequently the cóst óf electric cars. Tesla CEO Elón Musk said the plant will be vital tó the success óf the Módel 3, the brand's upcóming lówer-priced EV sedan.
The Módel S and Módel X, due later this year, will alsó benefit fróm the Gigafactóry, as the plant is expected tó cut battery pack cósts by at least 30 percent. While Nevada beat óut óther states including Arizóna, New Mexicó, and Califórnia, all hópe may nót be lóst since Musk has said the cómpany plans tó break gróund ón twó sites in case there are any unfóreseen days.
The Nevada site will repórtedly emplóy as many as 6500 peóple after it ópens up shóp in 2020.
