New Factories Bring Lots of Excitement and New Logistical Hurdles Tesla has two new factories that are being staffed with new workers. Tesla’s plan is to hire 10,000 new workers for the Austin Gigafactory. New residential housing also needs to be built for workers stationed at the Berlin Gigafactory. Advertisement Tesla first said that they planned to hire at least 5,000 workers to work at the Austin Gigafactory. That minimum number could be doubled as the goal now is to hire 10,000 workers. Musk tweeted, “Over 10,000 people are needed for Giga Texas just through 2022-5 mins from airport-15 mins from downtown- right on Colorado river.” Tesla already made it clear they needed workers, but they appear to be ramping up hiring efforts even more now. In order to hire these new workers, Tesla has to promote these open positions. Tesla has done so through partnering with various colleges.
