Tesla files for $10.1B ‘Project Crystal Sun’ solar factory in Texas

Tesla has filed for a $10.1 billion solar cell factory in Fort Bend County, Texas, under the codename “Project Crystal Sun,” according to a tax-incentive application posted by the Texas Comptroller. The filing pegs the plant at 9,712 permanent jobs, roughly 3,050 acres near Richmond, and commercial production starting in the first quarter of 2029. It’s the largest US manufacturing investment Tesla has ever put on paper.
