The company has sent out invitations to the opening of the plant in Nevada.
Tesla sent out to selected customers invitations to the Grand opening of “Giavarini” — plant for the production of batteries for electric vehicles. The ceremony will be held July 29, in the Nevada desert, 37 km to the East of the city of Reno.
In priglashenii Tesla gave no details of the upcoming event — the company only indicated the nearest airport, recommended hotels and recalled that each invitee is entitled to bring one guest. To drive from Reno to “Giavarini” by car — 30 miles on interstate 80, then you need to turn on electric Avenue.
In early may, the Bloomberg Agency reported that “Gigaparts” — land and buildings — is ready only at 14 percent, and internal finishing of buildings is completed by 10 percent. Likely that in late July, customers will present the unfinished complex.
The cost of the project, in which partner Tesla was the company Panasonic, is more than five billion dollars. Start full-scale production is scheduled for 2017. In the U.S. the company expects that by 2018, “Girafarig” will be able to provide batteries to Tesla 500 thousand cars annually.
