Would it be any different than how it is currently? I think it really could just reduce transportation cost I suppose?
Not really? They still have to ship them out of Texas to another state that will allow them to sell directly. Then customers will have to drive back to Texas.
"But Musk is said to want to start construction extremely soon and aims to have Model Y vehicles coming out of the plant by the end of the year." That is just delusional.
I don't think it's likely to happen, but delusional is a stretch.

They might be getting practice in building factories (what's the learning curve for car factories?).
I'm picturing the new Cybertruck will sport the same sticker the Tundra's did when they were made in Texas. Born in Texas built by Texans.
Aren't the Tundras still made in San Antonio? IIRC they also contain the most parts fabricated in the US of any pickup in class. (Disclosure: Don't work for Toyota nor own stock but I do own a Tundra.)

So they've already built a factory in under a year, but it's delusional to think they could cut that time by 30-40%? I don't think it's likely to happen, but delusional is a stretch.
US has permits, environmental reviews, inspections, labor laws, etc etc that all add time.

Will they be able to sell the cars from that factory directly to end users without dealerships in Texas?
Got to figure there is a deal afoot with Texas to get the factory. Regardless, that they want to produce the Y there could herald a depreciation of the Fremont operation in short order.

That seems like the kind of thing Texas might change if Tesla does actually move production there in a major way.

this is simply to keep the stock price at a certain level. half of everything he says is to feed into an image which keeps that stock at that level.
