GIGAFACTORY NEVADA

COMPANY: TESLA CEO: ELON MUSK LOCATION: NEVADA, US CAPACITY: 43 GWH
Tesla’ s Gigafactory Nevada primarily produces 2170 cylindrical battery cells used in the Model 3 and Model Y produced in North America. Panasonic occupies roughly half of the factory’ s floor space, responsible for the chemistry and production of cells. Tesla takes those finished cells and assembles them into battery packs.
In July 2024, Panasonic celebrated the production of its 10 billionth cell at the Nevada plant.“ Reflecting on our journey from humble beginnings to this momentous milestone of delivering 10 billion cells is profound,” says Allan Swan, President of Panasonic Energy of North America.
