Elon Musk opens Tesla’s ‘Giga Texas’ that he says is the biggest U.S. plant alanohnsman
Elon Musk marked the official start of production at Tesla’s new Giga Texas plant in Austin, saying it’s the country’s biggest factory by size and will also be the highest-volume U.S. auto plant when fully ramped up.
“The Model Y line will be the highest capacity line I think of any line in the world. In fact I’m confident it will be,” Musk, dressed in a black hat, black sunglasses and black Giga Texas t-shirt, told attendees. “Half a millions units a year in a single factory of one product is the biggest dang thing in the world. This will be the highest volume car factory in America.”
Still, the company’s growth may be restrined this year by an ongoing shortage of computer chips and greater competition for the raw materials needed to make batteries from automotive rivals.Unlike Tesla’s original Fremont plant, which consists of multiple, separate buildings, Giga Texas is one massive facility housing all manufacturing operations under one roof, including a new battery line that will make packs on site for vehicles built there.
