Inside Tesla's Massive $13.5 Billion Gigafactories.
"A machine that makes other machines" is what Elon Musk called the greatest production plant of current times: the Gigafactories. What are these monstrous industries and why are they so important, not just to Tesla but for the tech industry as a whole, why are they the future, and what more promises does Elon have in store for us, stay tuned to find out.
Now, first up, what does the word Gigafactory actually mean? As we know, Giga is a unit of measurement meaning "billions". The owner of Tesla, Elon Musk coined this term as he laid the foundation for the first of his production unit. But now, this description is used to cover massive scale production units that are built in stages and promise efficient, low-cost electric batteries in a very short time. Elon can call dibs on the name, however, since almost everyone in the technology and automation industry refers to his production units as the Gigafactories.
Up next, how many Gigafactories are there and where? Let's take a look
Though Tesla has production units all over the place, a few of its completely autonomous units are referred to as Gigafactories. How about we start on them chronologically?
Machine that makes machine is what we can see at Tesla Giga Texas, where I dream to be tomorrow!!!! @elonmusk Wife

do a fact check on the UK! what you said is not true
@eddieyutub Says:
Elon Musk has more than 200 billion net worth can that be translate into 10 more gigafactory with a lot of spare change

gig new where? um

we love space x we traveled to Boca Chica to see the starship get built. & we got the S dual motor fsd last Christmas 🎄 😎 still have the cybertruck tri motor or 4 motor fsd on order, i got lots of solar & backup battery system to charge them both. i have tsla too. i just got tired of paying $5 for a gallon of gasoline

Kinda funny how the first four factories were measured in square feet by the narrator but Texas was measured in square meters. 🤨

Mrs Charlotte's is legit and her method works like magic I keep on earning every single week with her new strategy.

Corrections: 1) Solar City was purchased by Tesla in 2016. Since then, Solar City has operated under the name Tesla. 2) At 2:30, the cells pictured are not 2170 cells; they are are 4680 cells—the new larger cells that are entering volume production in 2022. 4680 cells will eventually replace the smaller 2170 cells that have been produced by Panasonic at Giga Nevada since the factory opened in July 2016. 4680 cells offer 5 times the energy and 6 times the power of the older 2170 cells while only requiring about twice the space. They will give Tesla a significant lead over other EV makers in both range and performance.

Another click bait, shame.. nothing to do with the heading and picture silly

Some of your numbers are wrong man 🙄
@danielstapler4315 Says:
Why does Giga Berlin cost $7B and Giga Texas cost $1.06B ?
@clncl98506 Says:
Seems many of the points are wrong or outdated info. Giga Shanghai is already meeting less than 45 sec per car and it is mostly fully self sourced. Both GigaTexas & GigaBerlin already in limited "trial" production, and although GigaBerlin is waiting for the final permit, GigaTexas is good to go in terms of the final production. GigaIndia ? Not likely at this point.
@TimothyParker1 Says:
95% of components are locally sourced! Please get your facts current.
@MrAndrewAu Says:
anyone else clicked in here because of that fake cybertruck assembly thumbnail and got disappointed?
@davefroman4700 Says:
The only thing Tesla imported into Shanghai initially was batteries. And they won't do that anymore with the completion of BMP 2 on the site. BMP 2 will be coming online in April.
@stevepailet8258 Says:
had to wonder. Berlin is a smaller plant than Austin yet you say it cost 6 billion more. Thought this odd
@garymcfadden8833 Says:
Great video
@Jasur_ae Says:
Wow that's huge Can you make videos about top electro cities in USA
@selvanveeyes6286 Says:
Next factory may be in India under PLI scheme
@LawpickingLocksmith Says:
Learned little but everything helps.
@raebrek Says:
Bad info. There are better more accurate sources.
@shangtiwu Says:
More commercial planes ,oxygen for hospital fee
@markplain2555 Says:
F#@kin click bait. Clearly say "Inside" Tesla factory and he sneakily shows a picture of someone working on the cyber truck.
@andreas11735 Says:
Buffalo and the Tesla solar division is thus far a failure. Tesla would be better off converting this facility to produce vehicles.
@tusharsaikhedkar9808 Says:
I don't think so Giga India will be made any time soon.
Simply introducing Tesla cars in India is getting extremely difficult. Indian Govt. is not that favorable to Tesla.
@kalpeshdange09 Says:
India it will be
@lettuceb Says:
How’d you get that thumbnail photo tho?!
@marcobaldanza2332 Says:
can i speak on behalf of the UK and say, yes, please do come here too!
@kantameena9668 Says:
We just need 20 Giga Factory in the world to make it sustainable
@dragonmaster2055 Says:
tesla will dominate the world in 2025. perhaps earlier
