Tesla Gigafactory Adds Electric Motor Production For Model 3...
We have known for some time that Tesla's Gigafactory would ultimately build more than just the raw battery cells for the Tesla Model 3, but on Tuesday night we found out some specifics.
During Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval's "State of the State" address (attended also by Tesla's chief technology officer JB Straubel – watch below), we learned that the factory will produce both electric motors and gear boxes for the upcoming Model 3.
