Tesla has applied to expand its gigafactory in Texas with an investment totaling $775.7 million, government filings showed, marking one of its largest expansion drives since setting up the $5.5 billion gigafactory in Germany last year.
It plans to add five new facilities at its Austin site, including a cell test lab and a unit named “Cathode”, according to the company’s filings on the Texas state department of licensing’s website on Monday and Tuesday.
