Inside the Gigafactory

Welcome to the Gigafactory!

Well, to a model of the Gigafactory. The real thing will be much, much bigger...

...At least three times as large.

These models depict some of the work that will go on within the plant, assembling Tesla battery packs from Panasonic batteries.

Here's the real thing, under construction outside of Reno, Nevada.

All this flat land you see will eventually be covered by the factory floor.

The factory is bursting at the seams, growing in every direction.

Workers are actively assembling one part of the factory while others are building batteries within.

It will, of course, be painted white and red.

Bare sand now, soon a bustling factory.

What else would you drive for a factory tour?

It's only a model.

Inside the factory, some of the raw materials that go into building a battery pack.

A bit of a closer look.
