Tax payers are not paying more, likely they are paying less. Hopefully the $1.2B in tax breaks leads to an overall net gain for Nevada (why else would they do it?)
The other option is Tesla builds elsewhere. At no point was there ever an option for Nevada to get the Tesla factory and NOT give tax breaks.

Because there are competing states which can offer tax breaks. But is it better for the US as a whole if states can give tax breaks to individual companies?
