Report claims Tesla has chosen Nevada for battery factory
CNBC is reporting that Tesla has chosen Nevada as the site for the company's $5 billion lithium-ion battery plant, quoting a source inside Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval's office.
The report says the governor will hold a news conference on Thursday in Carson City, Nevada to make a "major economic development announcement."
It had been previously revealed that ground work had been completed in the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center to make way for the factory, that could bring as many as 5,000 jobs to the state.
