Tesla Wants A Giga Factory In Canada To Make Cheaper Cars

In May this year, the Canadian government started talks with various EV manufacturers about the possibility of setting up production facilities up north. In short, the Canadian government wants to play a significant role in building a greener future and has set aside $3 billion over the next eight years to help accelerate exploration for rare earth minerals, extracting them from the earth, and refining them for use in electric vehicles.

At the time, the Canadian government did not reveal who it was talking to, as many manufacturers would have been approached, but Tesla has now disclosed that it will begin lobbying efforts to set up shop in Ontario.

According to Reuters, Tesla plans on erecting an advanced manufacturing facility in the region.
