Tesla plans 538,720‑square‑foot Texas distribution center
Tesla filed plans Sept. 1 for a 538,720‑square‑foot distribution center near Austin, Texas. The facility is slated for completion on Dec. 4, 2028.
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 describes the project as a “new lease space build‑out for Tesla in the existing Office/WHSE building” at Mustang Ridge Distribution Center I, located at 6925 FM Road 1327 in Mustang Ridge. The filing does not specify what products or materials Tesla will handle at the distribution center or how many employees will work there.
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 large Gigafactory Texas manufacturing complex. Tesla already draws components from an extensive supplier network in Mexico, with suppliers in Nuevo León, Coahuila, Tamaulipas, Chihuahua, the Bajío region, and the state of Mexico shipping automotive components north to the Texas factory.
