(NASDAQ: TSLA) plans to invest $3.6 billion to expand Gigafactory Nevada, an advanced manufacturing campus in the Reno suburb of Sparks that Tesla launched in 2014. The company’s investment will include two new factories — a battery manufacturing facility and a truck factory — that can support approximately 3,000 new team members. At the battery facility, Tesla plans to produce enough of its patented 4680 battery cells for 1.5 million light-duty vehicles annually. The facility will have the capacity for 100 Gigawatt hours (GWh) annually.

The first Semi trucks were delivered in December 2022 to PepsiCo, according to CNBC. Gigafactory Nevada currently spans 5.4 million square feet and represents a $6.2 billion investment for Tesla to date. Annually Tesla produces 7.3 billion battery cells, 1.5 million battery packs, 3.6 million electric vehicles and 1 …
