Lombardo said the new facility is planned to be built in northern Nevada. He also said it will cost an estimated $3.5 billion.
The advanced manufacturing facility is said to be the production site for the Tesla Semi, the first units of which were delivered to Pepsi last month.
Tesla confirmed that it is investing $3.6 billion in its Giga Nevada operations and plans to build two new factories on the site.
The first will be a 100.0 GWh 4680 cell factory with the capacity to produce batteries for 1.5 million vehicles each year.
The second factory is confirmed to be Tesla’s first high production factory for the Tesla Semi.
The investment will result in an additional four million square feet of manufacturing and 3,000 additional jobs for Tesla’s Giga Nevada facility.
