Borderlands Mexico: Tesla plans massive Texas distribution center (Freightwaves)
Summary: Tesla is planning a more than 538,000-square-foot distribution center near Austin, Texas. The project covers 538,720 square feet and carries an estimated construction cost of $1.44 million. Work is scheduled to begin Dec. 7 and be completed Dec. 4, 2028, according to the state filing. The filing does not specify what products or materials Tesla will handle at the distribution center or how many employees will work there.
Why it matters: Tesla’s new distribution center will add significant distribution capacity near its Austin manufacturing operations and the cross-border supply chains connecting its Texas production footprint with automotive suppliers in Mexico.
Context: The project represents another expansion of Tesla’s operations in Central Texas, where the company has established Austin as its corporate headquarters and operates its massive Gigafactory Texas manufacturing complex. Tesla already draws components from an extensive supplier network in Mexico.
