But if you put a Tesla badge on it and told people the exact same car was a Tesla (and even charged more for the exact same thing), the halo effect would get people interested.

Cruze, if you're going to knock something, at least know how to spell it......

God forbid you actually drive the car before posting a misguided opinion of it....SMH...

Biggest **Proposed** Factory

I can almost picture the tumbleweed blowing through the half-finished, abandoned site in 5-6 years.

Ok, so the point that Musk wants to make is “HEY OUR NEW FACTORY WILL BE THE BIGGEST IN THE WORLD!”

So... like your average sized Costco then..

I doubt the factory will be finished as planned. I’m guessing it’ll be stopped short by some economic event (market crash, and/or people realize these cars are too expensive).

Not sure how big the Giga-plant will be when finished, but sounds a lot like most paper converting mills in North America. I worked at our local Kimberly-Clark plant in Tulsa. It is 1.7 million square feet of low-humidity, cooled manufacturing space for the converting of pulp wood and fiber into paper for converting…

Yep looks like every other factory I have worked in, just newer.

While not under one roof, it’s interesting to note for perspective that there is still 5 million square feet of mill space remaining in the Lowell National Historical Park. And that doesn’t count the buildings that are gone, or that aren’t part of the national park complex itself. The total space was on the same order…
