Gigafactory is a good term for it: the largest factory building in the world by volume, it's fifteen city blocks long with 70,000 solar panels on the roof. This is the new Tesla factory in Austin, Texas, and it just opened.
As Elon puts it, raw materials go in one end of the building, a lot of stuff happens, and then new cars come out the other end. He calls it the "most advanced car factory the world has ever seen," and it's packed with energy-saving and water-saving technology.
Half a million Model Y's will be produced here annually, and the brand new cyber truck will be made here next year.
Fifteen thousand were expected at the big celebration, "Cyber Rodeo," and Elon (wearing a black cowboy hat) drove himself onto the stage to deliver the keynote.
