There is, in fact, a walled off area within the old Mitsubishi facility that has a big Tesla logo on it. It's freaking tiny though, relative to the space needed for a "battery factory, servicing facility and vehicle showroom".
The old Mitsubishi facility has been turned into the "Tonsley Innovation District", it's quite an oddly interesting place with disparate little technology hubs / companies setup in there. I've visited because there's a lot of covered open space with polished concrete flooring which is great for inline skating on. It's a popular place for kids parties with skates, scooters, bikes, radio controlled cars, etc.
I don't know if there would be enough spare contiguous space there for a Telsa facility now.

Here's a youtube video of someone skating around the facility: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HzUK7KTzNc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HzUK7KTzNc
At 3:54 the Tesla bit is coming into view on the right hand side (direct link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HzUK7KTzNc&t=234s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HzUK7KTzNc&t=234s)
