📰About Castings
The Tesla Gigafactory Texas project, filed under the name Castings, covers 259,732 square feet of new construction at 1 Tesla Rd. in Austin. The scope includes ground-up building and complete interior finish out of the EV manufacturing facility. TDLR completed plan review in October 2024, and construction was scheduled to finish in December 2025. TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record.
This facility is privately funded on private land for private use. The estimated cost listed in the filing is $50,000, which is below the county median for new construction. The scheduled build window of 432 days is longer than the county median of 304 days.
Tesla, Inc. is the owner of record. The company has six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $950,000, including Cortex 2.0 and North Campus Manufacturing in Austin. The registered accessibility specialist for this project is Mark S Robinson.
City of Austin permit records show at least 25 permits on file at this street address. The 25 most recent were issued between November 2025 and August 2026. These permits are primarily for plumbing, including fire hydrant relocation and underground pipe installations. These records may include other tenants or suites at the same address and do not confirm the status of the main manufacturing facility.
Third-party sources describe the Gigafactory Texas as one of the largest manufacturing facilities in the region. A Wikipedia entry notes the facility was built between 2020 and 2022. A Facebook post by teslasiliconvalley described the factory as "absolutely insane" and mentioned a rollout of the CyberCab. These external descriptions are not part of the TDLR public record and do not confirm current operational status.
