With Tulsa in competition with Austin to get a Tesla Cybertruck factory, the governor used Twitter to ask for help showing Elon Musk how much Oklahoma wants to host the facility. The tech giant founder wasted no time responding.
Wow, I’ve never seen this level of support! Out of respect, seems like I should at least visit.

Stitt also tweeting a video featuring Route 66 author Michael Wallis promoting Tulsa’s focus on The Mother Road, and how the historic highway would make a perfect location for Tesla.
@Tesla, we invite you to join the risk takers, hard workers and visionaries in Oklahoma to embark on a new journey. @elonmusk #Tulsa4Tesla #OklaProud

It’s hoped a decision on which city gets the plant could come in the next few weeks.
