After 2 years of construction, the plant Gigafactory of Tesla officially opened and prepared to go into action. But this is just 14% of the real scale of this plant.
Perhaps this is the biggest game of the electric Tesla cars, with a value of up to $ 5 billion. Battery manufacturing plant and solar Gigafactory newly built in the Nevada desert, promise can double the production of lithium-ion batteries all over the world.
Tuesday, the Gigafactory factory was officially open and go into operation after 2 years of construction. However, this factory was completed just 14% of the expected scale. After the completion of 100%, it will have an area of use the equivalent of 262 football field and become the largest building in the world.
"Tesla as the Tigers add wings"
Gigafactory is the key to Tesla opens the door to the future. To produce lithium-ion batteries and solar energy for the electric car, Tesla said it would reduce the cost for the battery to ⅓ in 2018.
That was the big turning point, so far Tesla has yet to really get profit in the annual financial report.One of the problems is that the cost of production of the electric car is still too high. Besides, the Gigafactory also helped Tesla could extend the model and produce all of the pickups in the future.
Initially, Tesla needed supplies batteries for orders Model number 3 giant in recent times. In just a week since the launch, more than 325,000 people had deposited $ 1,000 payments to purchase electric cars. It shows the great attraction of Model 3, but they pose big challenges for Tesla to fulfill the orders.
Therefore, Tesla had to accelerate the construction of the plant Gigafactory, to have able to meet the demand for batteries for the Model 3. Currently, partner Panasonic is installing and finishing machinery to be able to start production of the first lithium-ion batteries later this year.
But all that is just the small beginnings
Tesla still is urgently scaling up of the "monster" Gigafactory. Currently still has more than 1,000 employees working day and night, to build the production areas and new solar battery.
Estimated to Q2 2017, new Gigafactory completed 31%, that is still not a half the size expected.When completed, the entire roof of the workshop will be solar roofing panels. Gigafactory will use its own generated energy for use in the production process.
The factory still continues to build and expand.
Tesla said in 2018, Gigafactory will produce solar power are equivalent to all the world create in 2014.Even this plant can increase production when needed, with power enough to offer 3 New York City uses in a year.
Gigafactory is just the battery factory and first solar of Tesla. In the future, electric cars also have ambitions to build the automobile factory and the 2nd Gigafactory, 3rd in Europe or China. That is the big market of Tesla and will help the car maker has a lot of advantages when competing with other electric cars.
Tesla is indeed a worthy competitor to deal with "ACE" Model 3. With the opening of Gigafactory, Tesla will make the largest automobile manufacturer in the world to realize.
