Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced at the company’s annual shareholder meeting it might be announcing a new Gigafactory location this year.
“We might be able to announce another factory location later this year,” said Musk, to cheering from the audience. “We got a lot of Canadas. I’m half-Canadian,” said Musk.
