New filings with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation indicate Tesla is planning a pair of small-scale construction projects along the I-35 corridor in Central Texas, both at locations that appear to be associated with Buc-ee’s.
The filings outline two nearly identical entries in New Braunfels and San Marcos. Each project is listed as new construction, privately funded and located on private land for private use. Each carries an estimated cost of $150,000, totaling at $300,000, and is described only as “electrical infrastructure.” Each filing also notes a relatively small footprint of 120 square feet, with no additional technical details included.
According to the documents, construction for the Tesla-related project in New Braunfels is expected to begin May 18, while work in San Marcos is scheduled to start May 25. Both projects list a projected completion date of May 31, 2027. Tesla did not immediately respond to MySA’s request for comment.
The listed addresses correspond with the existing Buc-ee’s location in New Braunfels and the site of a future Buc-ee’s taking shape in San Marcos. However, the filings do not include the intended function of the electrical infrastructure or clarify whether the work is connected to Buc-ee’s operations, Tesla charging facilities or other utility needs.
MySA reached out to Buc-ee’s for comment and will update this article if we receive a response.
