Tesla’s planning to build a $10 billion solar panel factory in Texas.

TechCrunch reports that the new factory would be located 45 minutes outside of Houston: > The new factory, called Project Crystal Sun, could cost as much as $10.1 billion. Tesla has applied for tax incentives to partially offset the cost, saying that it is exploring other sites “across multiple U.S. states.” The factory would create about 9,700 full-time jobs, Tesla said.
