Tesla plans to add additional facilities to the large tracts of land it owns around Austin. As of now, there is no confirmed news about the purpose of the newly purchased land. However, speculative news from all parties has been raging. Most people believe that the newly purchased land will be used for the construction of battery cell production facilities.
Some people point out that the speculation that Tesla is preparing to produce 4680 battery cells on its own is not unreasonable. In September last year, the battery cell made its debut at Tesla’s Battery Day event. And Tesla had a battery production plant in the past and used the name of a cat as a code name.
Therefore, while Tesla purchased new land in Texas, it also launched the Bobcat program. According to speculation, the Bobcat plan is likely to be a battery production plant. In addition, it has established a Gigafactory in Berlin, Germany, and is expanding the output of its first overseas operation plant in Shanghai.
