Tesla has announced a major plan to expand its gigafactory in Nevada, with billions of dollars going on two new production facilities.
The electric-vehicle company led by Elon Musk said on Tuesday it will invest more than $3.6 billion to add two more production facilities to the site — one that will become its first high-volume factory for its recently launched Semi truck, and another to produce its new 4680 battery cell.
Related Pepsi was the first customer after placing an order for 100 of the trucks, while other customers include UPS, Walmart, food delivery company Sysco, and brewing firm Anheuser-Busch. The first production Semis have a range of 500 miles, though Tesla will also produce a version that can travel for 300 miles on a single charge.
The gigafactory expansion will create 3,000 jobs, adding to the existing workforce of 11,000. Available positions include supervisors, technicians, and production associates. The Nevada site in its current state produces electric motors for the Model 3, as well as battery packs.
