Tesla, which has become the most valuable automobile brand in the world, will establish a new assembly plant in the USA.Eight candidate cities were identified in the first place for this.A few weeks before the announcement of the decision, this number fell to two: Austin in Texas and Tulsa in Oklahoma. So the relentless tesla race between the two cities has been started.
Elon Musk started a race to reduce the cost of the factory and provide tax advantages!According to the report in Reuters, both cities are organizing various campaigns to obtain this factory, which will employ $ 1.1 billion and employ 20,000 people.
TAX INCENTIVES ARE IMPORTANT
Travis County, where Austin is located, will cast the bill this week, which will provide a $ 65 million tax refund in 10 years.However, there can be a disappointing result here.Because city residents had vetoed a similar privilege to Amazon before.In talks with Travis County executives, Tesla said tax incentives will play a critical role in the implementation of the new factory.
PIZZERIA PROMISED FREE PIE
In Tulsa, there is a complete Tesla frenzy.Tulsa's Golden Driller statue was recently repainted by a local Tesla fan club to look something like Elon Musk, sporting a Tesla logo on its chest and Tesla was written on the belt.Elon Musk personally visited Tulsa on July 3.Here he met with state governor Kevin Titt.The video of the engineers who moved to the city, inviting Tesla to Tulsa, was watched by more than 200 thousand people, including Musk.A pizzeria in the city announced that if the factory was set up, workers would be offered free pies.
THE LOWEST ANNUAL SALARY IS 47 THOUSAND DOLLARS
Oklahoma Governorship, to which Tulsa is affiliated, keeps the privileges offered to Tesla secret.On the other hand, Travis County, which includes Austin, has announced to the public only the advantages of tax reductions and refunds.According to the statement made by Tesla to Texas officials, the factory to be established will provide more than 5 thousand low-skilled workers with an annual salary of 47 thousand dollars.
