Not entirely true.

Tesla gets $195 million in tax credits that they can sell to other companies. Note that it's a credit and not simply a tax break or deduction.

Furthermore, the state and local county will have to pay large amounts of money to support the explosive growth of the community. If they expect 6,500 new workers and 22,000 new residents overall, that means huge upgrade to infrastructure, police, education, etc. That is potentially hundreds of millions that the will not be offset by property or sales taxes from Tesla. That money will be coming from Nevada tax payers.
