New filings with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation indicate Tesla<\/a> 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\u00a0Buc-ee\u2019s.<\/p>\n

The filings outline two nearly identical entries in New Braunfels<\/a> and San Marcos<\/a>. 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.<\/p>\n

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\u00a0immediately respond to MySA’s request for comment.<\/p>\n

The listed addresses correspond with the existing Buc-ee\u2019s location in New Braunfels and the site of a future Buc-ee\u2019s taking shape in San Marcos<\/a>. However, the filings do not include the intended function of the electrical infrastructure or clarify whether the work is connected to\u00a0Buc-ee\u2019s operations, Tesla charging facilities\u00a0or other utility needs.<\/p>\n

MySA reached out to Buc-ee’s for comment and will update this article if we receive a response.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New filings with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation indicate Tesla is planning a pair of small-scale…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":282194,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[821,1113,847,820,27,29,28],"class_list":["post-282193","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-texas","tag-mysabusiness","tag-mysahillcountry","tag-mysanews","tag-mysastaff","tag-texas","tag-texas-headlines","tag-texas-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/282193","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=282193"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/282193\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/282194"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=282193"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=282193"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=282193"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
