Tesla's next gigafactory might be in the Lone Star State.
James Martin/CNETElon Musk seems to be eyeing the second largest US state for Tesla's third American gigafactory. The electric car company's CEO put the idea to his 31 million Twitter followers late Tuesday.
"Giga Texas?" he tweeted, with the poll options "Hell yeah" and "Nope."
As of early Wednesday, the reaction seemed overwhelmingly positive: "Hell yeah" stood at nearly 80%. Musk also confirmed to a follower that he'll be at the SpaceX development facility in Boca Chica, Texas, on Thursday for the "Starship career day" he previously invited people to. This suggests he could be using the Texas trip to build hype around a Tesla announcement.
Tesla already has US gigafactories in Reno, Nevada, and Buffalo, New York, and its Chinese one is in Shanghai. Last November, Musk used similar language -- "GIGA BERLIN" -- to back up reports that Tesla's European gigafactory would be built in Germany.
Tesla didn't immediately respond to a request for comment about Musk's tweet.
