More buses in Killeen for Tesla employees

Previously, some of the buses would park daily at WoodSpring Suites, on the Interstate 14 access road in Killeen. Shilo Inn has more parking area for the buses.

The buses are owned by San Antonio-based Star Shuttle and Charter.

The Herald reached out to the charter company who referred all questions to Tesla, which not responded to the Herald’s request for comment.

Tesla’s website has advertised hundreds of openings in the manufacturing, engineering and information technology and production categories in the Austin gigafactory.

In an article from the Austin American-Statesman, the company will employ about 20,000 once the facility is complete. The gigafactory will have one of the biggest buildings on Earth. The current building is equivalent to about 15 city blocks or three Pentagons, as CEO Elon Musk said earlier last year. It offers just over 4 million square feet of space and fits about 338 million cubic feet of volume, according to the Austin American-Statesman.
