By saying that Tesla "has not yet decided" the location, the CEO hinted that they are currently in the process of making a decision.
Tesla is currently in the process of starting production at two new massive factories, Gigafactory Berlin and Gigafactory Texas. These two factories are expected to more than double Tesla's production capacity.
They are also the first EV factories that Tesla has built from the ground up -- learning from its first experience at Gigafactory Shanghai, the report said.
With these three Gigafactories, Tesla would already have more electric vehicle production capacity than any other automaker, it added.

Analyst Dan Ives from Wedbush Securities had said that he expects Tesla to deliver 900,000 vehicles this year and grow to 1.3 million vehicles in 2022.
