Tesla used a new Texas law to exempt itself from environmental regulations, an odd move for a company making many ecological claims.

Tesla has exempted its Austin gigafactory from Austin's environmental regulations by removing itself from the city's extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) under a new Texas state law, SB 203. The law allows developments to opt out of ETJs more easily, which will allow Tesla less oversight over water usage and discharge at the site. This may raise environmental concerns since the gigafactory is located along the Colorado River.
