According to InsideEVs, the company would build two new factories on 4 million square feet (371,612 square meters) for a manufacturing plant to mass produce Tesla Semi trucks and 4680 cells with an annual capacity of 100GWh.

This expansion would enable enough 4680 cell production of at least 2 million light-duty vehicles per year. Moreover, it could add 6,500 additional full-time employees.

The project will allow the company to provide better supplies of both products within and outside Tesla’s hemisphere.
