We didn't have the biggest incentive package, we know that," said Mike Kazmierski, president of the Economic Development Authority of Western Nevada. Since the Great Recession, states have shelled out billions of dollars in incentives. Tennessee, with the 11th highest poverty rate in the nation, helped Volkswagen amass $566 million in tax breaks in 2008 to build a $1 billion plant in Chattanooga. Nearly $400 million in additional state and local incentives have gone toward expanding the plant since then, according to the Institute for Southern Studies. In 2012, Pennsylvania agreed to $1.6 billion in tax credits for Royal Dutch Shell PLC to build an ethane cracker north of Pittsburgh. Shell hasn't said whether it plans to build the plant. The Legislature in Washington state agreed to a record $8.7 billion package for Boeing in 2013. Tesla was "really concerned about scheduling risk.
331 employees at the factory with 89% of them Nevada residents.
Battery production requires very low humidity
It takes a hundred to a thousand times more resources, and far more difficulty, to build the machine that builds the machine, compared to creating an individual product, said Musk.
A variety of factors will enter into Tesla's decision. First, you have your obvious ones for any such project like land availability, taxes, and tax incentives
Free of charge, they dished Tesla nearly 1,000 acres to build its factory at TRIC
Battery production is both energy and power consuming and a Gigafactory about 35 GWh estimated to have a connection of 300 MW
Tesla's Gigafactory which ships an average of 52 truckloads per night via I-80 over the Donner Pass to Tesla's assembly plant in Fremont, CA, is only 2.5 miles away from an active branch line. The rail right-of-way for this connection (not shown) has already been set aside by the TRI General Improvement District and Tesla.
Claimant has failed to establish the claims contained in his demand for arbitration. Accordingly, his claims are denied, and he shall take nothing.
it's being built as a series of mini facilities, each one iterating on the design of the last. Although the first phase of the Gigafactory is not yet complete, construction is already underway on t the next (the factory's exterior walls are removable). The first phase is more than double the capacity of a similar sized factory in Asia, said Yoshihiko Yamada, executive vice president of Panasonic, who was on-site working with Tesla's engineers. Tesla plans to repeat this process numerous times.
Nevada was fourth in line for the plant with its RFI, about $650 million short on the abatements and $900 million short overall. Hill said he believed that Texas and New Mexico were the main competition. But O'Connell said it was never that simple, that the process was multilayered and not linear. "It's a dynamic process, it's an iterative process and it's taking place at at least two levels," he explained. "At one level, we had teams literally looking at dirt…the viability of a physical location. At another level, the conversation was between ourselves and the economic development folks about what kinds of financial programs can be used." ..if Nevada was going to win out over other states with larger incentive packages: "We've got to close this gap somehow. It just has to happen or we're not going to be able to do this" said Steve Hill from the Nevada authorities
workers and robotic arms still processed some of the battery storage products that went on sale in October
Originally, they hadn't considered Northern Nevada at all. But Tina Iftiger, vice president of airport economic development at Reno-Tahoe International Airport, helped convince Tesla executives to visit the region over and over again until they put it on the list.
the company must invest a minimum of $3.5 billion in manufacturing equipment and real property in the state. Five other states charge no sales tax at all and 34 states, including Arizona and Texas, don't charges sales tax on manufacturing equipment.
It's a real get things done state. That was a really important part of the decision .. Tesla does not want to deal with stalled development
Panasonic's footprint accounts for about 60% to 65% of the Gigafactory
The Gigafactory is being built in phases so that Tesla, Panasonic, and other partners can begin manufacturing immediately inside the finished sections and continue to expand thereafter. Our phased approach also allows us to learn and continuously improve our construction and operational techniques.. ..bringing cell production to the U.S.
As the machine that builds the machine, our factories are so important that we believe they will ultimately deserve an order of magnitude more attention in engineering than what they produce.
The factory itself is a product. It's the machine that builds the machines and demands more problem solving than the product it makes
