Chamber of Commerce starting Tesla Rumors in Nevada

2. Official Now

The Mega Factory will be built in Nevada. There's been much talk about a contest between states for this plant. The truth is that this particular location is probably the only area which it can be built because of the humidity requirements for the process.
The only place as dry as the Virginia Range is Death Valley, which has no infrastructure for a factory.
Tesla has been jerking around the other states in a race to the bottom to see who would subsidize the plant, trying to get best deal, but the moisture factor makes any state with humidity above 20% a non stater.
The average humidity in the Virginia Range is usually around 10%.

The Virginia Range is also the site of the Comstock Lode of mining history.
