Gigafabrika Tesla will be the second largest building in the world Bashny.Net

The publication Fast Company took more интервью the head of Tesla's Elon Musk, in which the author of the material was able to visit the under construction in Nevada factory producing batteries, known as & quot; Gigafabrika & quot ;. Although the picture building under construction is only one journalist has learned a lot of details regarding the project: in 2020, when the construction is completed, the factory building is only slightly less than the assembly shop of Boeing in Everett (WA), having a record of the world volume of 13.3 million m <sup>3 sup>. But that's not all - the mask is not going to stop and promised journalists that "the factory will blow his brains." "You will see and you will understand how it's incredible," - he said.

Published photos gigafabriki Tesla is exclusive (full picture you can see the здесь). So far, no journalist is officially the construction did not attend, although interest in it shows a lot of people. In October, a photographer from the local newspaper, was arrested after he was able to enter the territory and fight with the guards that it intended to withdraw.

Construction takes place near the city of Reno. Who finished building covers an area of ​​0.18 km 2 sup>, but in the future, according to the draft, it will consist of 4 separate blocks, each of which will be at its foundation, in the event of a possible earthquake the building was not destroyed completely. The area will be finished gigafabriki 1.3 km 2 sup>, and on it will work 6,500 employees. The volume of investment in construction amounted to $ 5 billion.

Plans for gigafabriku mask at least colossal. He cites such examples, describing the possible scale of production. If the residents of the town of Boulder, Colorado, the number of which is 103 000 people, will get 10,000 batteries Powerpack (industrial version battery Powerwall valued at $ 25,000) and connect them to the solar panels, they will be able to completely abandon the conventional method of producing electricity. To do the same focus across America need 160 million Powerpack.

Moreover, 900 million batteries Powerpack will allow to completely abandon teploelektrostratsy on the entire planet and dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions. If you take a step further and imagine what the world would operate 2 billion batteries from Tesla, then you can forget about the use of oil and gas production, including cooking. Initially, this number - 2000000000 - seems huge, but, as noted by Elon Musk, is now the world's 2 billion used cars for 20 years, the park will be fully updated. So the space for Powerpack for solar cells should be enough to excess.
