Electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla has leased a 180,000-square-foot, rail-serviced industrial space within the recently completed RCR Taylor Logistics Park.

This latest addition to the Elon Musk-led company's Austin footprint is located just 30 miles away from the Giga Texas headquarters, and sandwiched between the new Hutto Megasite and Samsung semiconductor plant.

The details

Executive Director Dave Porter of the Williamson County Economic Development Partnership issued a statement to Community Impact confirming the Tesla lease.

"We are excited to see the RCR Rail Park in Taylor attract tenants like Tesla," Porter said. "The Rail Park is unique to Central Texas and is quickly helping Williamson County become a logistics center."



Prior to the new lease, Tesla already had over 1 million square feet of industrial space in Williamson County, including at Kyle 35 Logistics Park and an industrial space in Hutto.

Tesla and brokers for the lease did not immediately respond to a request for comment regarding how the new space will be used.

What else?

Other companies with space in the rail park include building materials company Texas Materials and South Korea-based semiconductor parts manufacturer Soulbrain, according to the rail park's brochure.
