Tesla Gigafactory Unveiling – Opening Launch – Video

Tesla, the ambitious electric carmaker helmed by Elon Musk, broke ground on its 3,200-acre site at the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Park at the end of June 2014. Like the company, the project is ambitious. Once complete, it is expected to cover 5.8 million square feet, giving it a footprint equal to about 107 football fields. Several states wanted it in their backyards, but Tesla ultimately chose Nevada, in part because legislators had approved tax breaks and incentives worth an estimated $1.3 billion over 20 years.
