Tesla just filed official plans to build a massive solar cell manufacturing facility in Fort Bend County, Texas, backed by a staggering $10.1 billion investment.
The massive site is known internally by the codename "Project Crystal Sun." Commercial production is scheduled to kick off in the first quarter of 2029, bringing over 9,700 permanent jobs to the region.
The layout and scale of the project involve some impressive figures:
🔹 The facility will stretch across roughly 3,050 acres near Richmond.
🔹 The budget breaks down into $1.5 billion for real estate and $8.6 billion for heavy manufacturing equipment.
🔹 The timeline targets completing construction throughout 2028 before firing up operations.
This dwarfs every previous factory project from the company, standing as the single largest US manufacturing investment Tesla has ever put on paper.
A massive push for domestic green energy is finally taking shape.
