"I hear Tesla is very good at milking them"

Or

I hear Tesla will readily accept any reduced costs for opening up a $multi billion facility and employing hundreds of people in a key tech and environmentally sector.

The cost, effort and importance of a facility like this to Tesla, it wouldn't be about tax breaks. It's going to be a combination of everything but the fundamental location, resources and infrastructure is going to play the biggest part.

Amazon could start up a new factory in a few months if they were given a better tax offer and it had a motorway near buy, not so easy for a major car manufacturing plant from a new car company.
