Yeah the building just doesn't scale well with anything, you need to be there! I will have to visit soon! I've already been looking for properties inthe area.Yes. The CT that was being prepped in the corner by the window was the one that went on stage.
Roughly half of the factory is empty waiting for CT production to be set up. Of the MY line, I'd guess we saw 70% of it. We did not see 4680 cell production (but DID see pack production) and did not see inside the paint booth (for obvious reasons). Oh - did not see the sheet metal presses either - although as I was leaving I realized I missed a section. Perhaps that was sheet metal press area?
Did see gigapress for front and rear castings, body assembly, chassis assembly, seat assembly, pack assembly, final assembly - including a robot that puts the wheels on. Probably other stuff I've forgotten but it was easy to visualize the whole process.
Even though I live here and have seen the factory go from gravel pit to factory, the size of this thing is impossible to describe.
Massive is a HUGE understatement. (pun intended.)
BTW Was there any noticable curve on any of the CT windscreens?
