Elon Musk’s empire in Texas is growing beyond cars. Tesla is building a massive new battery storage facility near Houston. Details were laid out in tax breaks that are coming from Waller County.
The one-million-square-foot plant will crank out what are called Megapack energy products. They’re basically giant batteries, the size of a storage container, that can add power to the state’s grid during times of need. The factory is expected to create around 15-hundred jobs.
