Tesla files for 'Project Cathode' facility near Austin

[Bryan Noth]

Tesla has just filed to build another factory near its current Austin campus, likely involved in the production of batteries.  The amount of land initially purchased had many suspecting Tesla may have had larger plans than the Gigafactory alone.  Sources had indicated that Tesla was looking to strengthen vertical integration as a company.  Those suspicions seems to be materializing with this recent news and filing for "Project Cathode".  

Worth noting, Tesla filed for another mystery project last year dubbed "Project Bobcat" last year though details have not emerged on that filing.
