Major expansion of the Gigafactory Nevada! New production for 4680 cells and Tesla Semi!

Still before the announcement of the profits for the year 2022 in the earnings call, Tesla announces that it will expand the Gigafactory in Nevada by a production facility for 4680 cells and for the Semi. For this, they will invest around 3.6 billion dollars, Tesla writes in its blog. Here we give you a brief insight into the history of the oldest Tesla Gigafactory and, of course, what Tesla is planning for the future.

 

 

In 2014, Tesla committed to invest $3.5 billion in Nevada. The goal was to build a plant capable of producing 35 GWh of battery cells annually, enough to manufacture about 500,000 vehicles per year. This level of battery production was unprecedented for a single plant at the time, and the expected production was greater than the entire global battery production in 2013 combined. Along with other on-site suppliers, Tesla planned to hire 6,500 full-time employees over the next 10 years to build and ramp up Gigafactory Nevada. Since 2014, Tesla has invested about $6.2 billion in Nevada and built a 5.4 million-square-foot Gigafactory. The construction alone has created about 17,000 local jobs to date.

Looking forward and continuing to expand Gigafactroy Nevada, Tesla will invest more than $3.6 billion to continue the growth of Gigafactory Nevada, hire 3,000 new team members and build two new factories. A 100 GWh factory for 4680 cells (with capacity sufficient to produce batteries for 1.5 million vehicles per year) and the first high volume semi-factory.
