CARSON CITY, NV – Governor Brian Sandoval and Elon Musk, Chairman and
CEO of Tesla Motors, announced today that Nevada has been selected as
the official site for the Tesla Gigafactory.
“This is great news for Nevada. Tesla will build the world’s largest and
most advanced battery factory in Nevada which means nearly one hundred
billion dollars in economic impact to the Silver State over the next
twenty years. I am grateful that Elon Musk and Tesla saw the promise in
Nevada. These 21st century pioneers, fueled with innovation and desire,
are emboldened by the promise of Nevada to change the world. Nevada is
ready to lead,” stated Governor Brian Sandoval.

Nevada Legislature for partnering with Tesla to bring the Gigafactory to
the state. The Gigafactory is an important step in advancing the cause

compelling electric vehicles for decades to come. Together with
Panasonic and other partners, we look forward to realizing the full
potential of this project,” said Elon Musk, Chairman and CEO of Tesla
Motors.
“On behalf of the State of Nevada, I would like to acknowledge this
monumental day and provide my initial support. This is a significant
