This Gigafactory began construction in 2014 and was secured by Tesla through its acquisition of SolarCity in 2016. Unlike the other factories on this list, Giga New York in Buffalo is focused on solar energy rather than EVs. Tesla Gigafactory 1 in Nevada Gigafactory 2 – Giga New York What’s better is that, as Tesla expands to other Gigafactories around the world, this “incomplete” original Giga has not really expanded at all yet. ![]() Giga Nevada is that’s apparently only 30% complete. What’s sort of funny about the 1.9 million sq. This would likely still be in addition to Semi production at Tesla’s upcoming Austin, TX factory location.

At this state of the art location, Tesla still builds the Model S, Model X, Model 3, and Model Y, along with a majority of each EV’s components. While Tesla has indeed expanded its factory location presence worldwide, the Fremont Factory remains the mothership. Tesla purchased the facility in 2010 and extensively remodeled it before the first Model S rolled off the line in June 2012.
