The Gigafactory PDF does make it sound like it'll be 500,000 vehicles per year, though. Perhaps it's left vague because "500,000 batteries" just doesn't sound like a lot of batteries to most people.
- cdash 13y agoWell they could just use the number of actual cells there are in a battery pack which I think is 7k. So that is 3.5 billion battery cells per year. I think 500k cars is much better to understand though.
- Crito 13y agoYeah, saying "3.5 billion battery cells per year [for cars]" could make it sound like they delusional expect every other person in the world to be buying a new electric car every year by 2020.
