Tesla finally released the first model 3 for the mass market last month, which is expected to be delivered before the end of 2017. This car will be the key to helping Tesla achieve its goal of producing 500,000 cars a year by 2020. But for Tesla, to produce more cars, it needs to produce more batteries. Tesla CEO Elon Musk said at the Model 3 conference last month: "If we want to produce 500,000 cars a year, we need to absorb lithium battery production all over the world. This is The reason we built the Giga factory."
The Giga plant is located in Sparks, Nevada and is expected to be completed by 2020. After completion, the Gigabit plant's battery production will exceed the combined output of all other lithium battery plants worldwide. But what is shocking is not just its size. Here are the 8 coolest innovations in the Giga factory.
The Giga Mill plant covers 10 million square feet and will be one of the largest buildings in the world. Tesla said the Giga plant will be the world's second-largest building, behind Boeing's aircraft manufacturing facility in Everett, Washington.
The Giga plant will not use fuel energy at all. Like Tesla's cars, Gigabit plants will not use fuel energy at all. This means that natural gas pipelines will not appear inside and around the plant, nor will there be diesel generators in the factory.
Solar panels will be placed on top of the Giga plant. Musk is also the co-founder of solar company Solar City, and it is unclear whether Solar City will provide solar panels for the Tesla Gigatron plant. According to a Tesla spokesperson, Solar City needs to compete in order to get orders from Tesla.
Tesla will also use geothermal energy and wind energy to meet the energy needs of Gigatron plants. Tesla said: "For Gigabit plants, our strategic plan is to achieve zero consumption. We intend to use solar energy, wind energy and fixed storage to meet energy demand. Our goal is that all energy must be renewable."
The Gigatron plant considered seismic factors during construction. To achieve this goal, the Giga plant consists of four different structures built on four different foundations. According to the Reno-Gazette Journal, the cost of just spending on the foundation reached $16 million.
The robot will assist in assembling the battery pack. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the Gigabit plant will use robotic arms to assist workers in assembling battery packs produced at the factory. According to a batch of pictures leaked out in March, there are some “automated guided vehicles†in the Giga factory. Therefore, the Gigabit factory will use several different robots to help it make batteries.
There will be a state-of-the-art recycling center in the Giga factory. Recycling will play an important role in the Giga plant. Tesla intends to recycle lithium batteries on site, and the recycling system can extract metals such as nickel, aluminum and lithium from the old batteries and then use them to produce new batteries.
