Tesla to Build Large Distribution Center Near Austin, Texas
Tesla is planning a massive distribution center near Austin, Texas, covering over 538,000 square feet. The facility will be part of the Mustang Ridge Distribution Center I and is expected to begin construction on December 7 with completion scheduled for December 4, 2028. This project adds another logistics hub to Tesla's expanding supply chain network in Central Texas, where it also operates its Gigafactory manufacturing complex. The new distribution center aligns with Tesla’s broader strategy of increasing production capacity and strengthening its U.S. operations. The company reported second-quarter revenue of $28.24 billion—a 26% year-over-year increase—and plans to spend over $25 billion on capital expenditures this year as it ramps up manufacturing, including the upcoming launch of Class 8 Tesla Semi trucks from a Nevada facility. The project could also enhance Tesla’s position along the Texas-Mexico automotive corridor. The company already sources components from an extensive supplier network in Mexico, which plays a key role in cross-border logistics for its North American operations.
