Tesla is working to expand this US factory to produce more batteries, but the Tesla Semi will also be built here. Here’s the latest.
The automaker indicated it will invest over $3.6 billion for two new factories, including a 100-GWh 4680 cell factory, and a new factory for the Semi. Tesla also said the new battery site in Nevada will produce enough batteries for 1.5 million light-duty vehicles annually. The automaker plans to hire some 3000 new workers for the two efforts, both of which will be added to the Gigafactory Nevada site.
The 5.4-million-square-foot Gigafactory Nevada has been on line since 2014, and to date has produced 7.3 billion battery cells and 1.5 million battery packs for the company's models, which is the same number that Tesla now wants to produce each year. The factory also produces drive units, with 3.6 million having been built so far at the site.
"In 2014, we made a commitment to invest $3.5 billion in Nevada with our first Gigafactory," the automaker said."Our goal was to build a facility capable of producing 35 GWh of battery cells annually—enough to manufacture about 500,000 vehicles per year."When it comes to Semi production the automaker intends to keep it in Nevada, where the small batch of the first trucks that have already been delivered were built.
