AUSTIN, TX—Tesla Inc.'s latest gigafactory will be built near Austin, CEO Elon Musk announced during the quarterly earnings call on Wednesday. The manufacturing facility will be built on 2,000 acres some 15 minutes from downtown Austin, Musk said.

The newest Tesla factory will focus primarily on the company's all-electric pickup vehicle, the Cybertruck, but also manufacture the automaker's Semi, Model 3 and Model Y vehicles for the eastern half of North America, he added.

"We're also very excited to announce that we're going to be building our next gigafactory in Texas. It will be about five minutes from Austin (Bergstrom Inter)national Airport and 15 minutes from downtown Austin," Musk said. "It's right on the Colorado River, so there's actually going to be a boardwalk where there'll be a hiking and biking trail. It's going to basically be an ecological paradise, birds in the trees, fish in the stream and they will be open to the public as well. So if anyone is interested in looking at a Giga Texas with engineering, production, whatever the case may be, please let us know. Now at the same time, I want to say we will continue to grow in California, but we expect California to do Model S and X for worldwide consumption, and 3 and Y for the western half of North America."
