Take a tour inside Tesla’s first Gigafactory | CNBC Reports
Tesla’s Gigafactory in Nevada is expected to be the largest building in the world by footprint once completed. CNBC’s Uptin Saiidi gets a rare look inside what Tesla founder Elon Musk calls, ‘the machine that builds the machine.’

As far as the specific job that I'm doing, I think it's more or less just kinda luck of the draw honestly. They put you where they kinda need you it seems. I was given a couple choices within the "top cap" area of the battery manufacruring process (there are several different areas in the manufacturing of the batteries. I dont know what all they are or how many there are. There are many it seems, my area is "Top Cap") they had a couple positions open in assembly, a couple in press, & one in quality control. I took 1 of the press positions. I didn't apply for it specifically per say.
@jaredpeterson5335

I didn't like assembly because it's in an ultra clean environment and you have to put booties over your shoes, put on one of those like tyvex full body suits, cover your head, wear a mask & all that stuff. My body temperature runs hot enough as is, I don't need any extra layers, nor did I like the idea of having to take all that shit on and off every time u go on break, lunch, etc. The press room is a little different, that stuff isn't needed. Its just really loud so the worst I have to deal with is keeping earplugs in all the time.

I don't think so. They are sorta protected, same reason you couldn't just catch a deer to keep. However some government agency (the blm I think?) periodically corals bunches of them to cull the wild population a bit (why? lol). And I think you can buy them pretty cheap cause they have to spend more bunches of federal bucks (pun intended) to keep em alive in the corals. But be warned, you'd be buying a wild animal, I remember decades ago my uncle yelling at me because I went near his coral where he bought and kept wild horses, apparently there are extremely strict protocols for converting them into a working animal, and it's an expensive process that if done wrong makes you waste lots of money, and dumb kids don't under stand animal psychology...

The fact that all major automakers are now working on serious electric cars also is a sign of success. 15 years ago nobody though electric cars would just be around the corner and that they could have great range and performance. That's why they open sourced many their key patents for making an electric car. Of course they'll still try to make the best electric cars and stay ahead of the competition but that won't be the case forever.
