AUSTIN, Texas - Tesla could be heading to court over its Gigafactory headquarters after getting more than $1 billion slashed from its appraised property value.
This comes after the company challenged its appraisal and reduced the property’s worth by more than $1 billion.
The backstory:
In July, the Tesla Gigafactory was originally appraised by the Travis Central Appraisal District at $4.6 billion. The company disputed the value, leading to a new value of $3.4 billion by the Travis Appraisal Review Board.
