Reno Selected For Tesla Motors Battery Factory

Posted by samzenpus on from the start-it-up dept.

First time accepted submitter Mikenan writes Tesla has finally decided that it will build its battery "gigafactory" in Nevada, sources say. "That's a go, but they are still negotiating the specifics of the contract," a source within the Nevada's governor's office told CNBC Wednesday afternoon. The source noted that it could be a week before the deal is official. Nevada is planning a press conference Thursday in Carson City.

    Now we know why Nevada was chosen.

    Makes total sense.

    WTF is a "gigafactory?"

    Is it somehow different than any other kind of factory? Or is it a made-up word designed to satisfy some narcissists ego?

    It's the opposite of a nanofactory.
