Elon Musk has large-scale ambitions for Tesla, which has been made glaringly clear with his extraordinary architectural endeavour in the form of the Tesla Gigafactory. Located in the middle of the Nevada dessert, the Tesla Gigafactory will be the largest building in the world upon completion, with an incredible expanse of 6 million square feet. The project is Elon Musk’s master plan for the electric car company and it will be solely dedicated to producing 150 gigawatt hours of batteries per year – enough for 1.5 million Model 3s. These developments will also serve the consumer, as the Gigafactory is aiming to drive down the cost of lithium-ion car batteries by 30%.
