特斯拉似乎已经成为德克萨斯州中部的劳动力巨头。一份新的报告称，这家电动汽车制造商现在每天在德克萨斯州Gigafactory现场雇用20,000人，成为该地区第二大私人雇主。

据《奥斯汀商业杂志》报道，在埃隆·马斯克领导的品牌在未来几个月内提高 Cybertruck 产量后，这一强劲的员工人数预计将增加两倍，达到 60,000 多人，据《奥斯汀商业杂志》报道，德克萨斯州 Giga 制造总监 Jason Shawhan 在 2023 年9月 19 日的奥斯汀地区制造商协会会议上表示。

特斯拉似乎在2023年前 8-9 月前 增加了大约 八千 名员工，此前官员此前表示，到 2022 年底，德克萨斯州 Giga 的员工总数已增长到12,277 人。

根据介绍，成千上万的员工来自奥斯汀，其余的来自休斯顿，圣安东尼奥和该州的其他城镇。我们很少从该品牌那里获得官方独家新闻，该品牌通常对其运营守口如瓶，因此最新的启示令人惊讶。

特斯拉现在仅次于德克萨斯州的H-E-B连锁超市，是该州第二大私人雇主。据ABJ报道，据报道，H-E-B今年年初雇用了近23,000人。

相比之下，根据官方数据，福特在堪萨斯城装配厂雇用了7,250名工人，在肯塔基卡车厂雇用了8,920名工人。通用汽车密歇根州的零工厂在全面投入运营后将拥有超过2,100名员工。

为了支持不断膨胀的劳动力，特斯拉和地方当局需要按比例改善当地的基础设施。Shahhan表示，特斯拉员工没有足够的停车位，但工厂附近即将建成的车库可以解决这个问题。

马斯克此前估计，德克萨斯州Giga将建造25万至50万辆网络卡车。该品牌还在该工厂生产电池组件。该工厂似乎与特斯拉最大的工厂Giga上海相差无几，上海超级工厂现有二万工人，每年能够生产超过一百万辆电动汽车。

Tesla appears to have become a workforce juggernaut in Central Texas. A new report claims that the EV maker now employs north of 20,000 people onsite daily at the Gigafactory Texas, becoming the second largest private employer in the region.

This robust headcount is expected to triple to over 60,000 people after the Elon Musk-led brand ramps up Cybertruck production in the coming months, said Jason Shawhan, the Giga Texas director of manufacturing, at the Austin Regional Manufacturers Association conference on September 19, 2023, according to the Austin Business Journal.

Tesla appears to have added roughly 8,000 employees in the first 8-9 months of 2023 after officials previously said that the total workforce at Giga Texas had grown to 12,277 people by the end of 2022.

Thousands of employees hail from Austin, while the rest are from Houston, San Antonio, and other towns and cities of the state, as per the presentation. We rarely get official scoops from the brand, which is usually tight-lipped about its operations, so the latest revelation is a surprise.

Tesla now ranks only behind the H-E-B supermarket chain in Texas as the state's second-largest private employer. H-E-B reportedly employed nearly 23,000 people early this year, ABJ reported.

Ford, in comparison, employs 7,250 workers at its Kansas City Assembly Plant, and 8,920 workers at the Kentucky Truck Plant, as per official data. General Motors’ Factory Zero in Michigan will have over 2,100 people after becoming fully operational.

To support the ballooning workforce, Tesla and the local authorities would need to proportionally improve the local infrastructure. Shawhan said Tesla employees don't have enough parking space, but an upcoming garage near the plant could solve this issue.

Musk previously estimated that 250,000-500,000 Cybertrucks would be built at Giga Texas. The brand is also building battery components at the plant. The factory appears to be on track to match Giga Shanghai, Tesla’s largest facility by production capacity with 20,000 employees and the ability to crank out over a million EVs annually.
