Tesla is making its presence known in Hays County warehouse move

Kyle Mayor Travis Mitchell saved the best news for last.

During the State of the City address, Mitchell announced on Tuesday, Aug. 22, that Tesla will soon be moving to Kyle. The electric vehicle maker has plans to lease three buildings for warehouse storage and light assembly at the Alliance Industrial Park in Kyle, Mitchell revealed.

“When we heard, Tesla was coming to southeast Austin, we got excited,” Mitchell said. “When there’s a major employer coming into the area there’s an ‘effect.’ The ‘Tesla effect’ was huge, they have subcontractors and suppliers, all who provide services to the Gigafactory.”
