Default Tesla gigafactory

I've seen this monstrosity in person--it's freaking huge. And creepy.

I'm not huge on these cars yet. I've seen a lot of people getting lemons and horror stories about repairs.

If you want a dependable car get a Honda or Toyota. Even Kias are getting better.

I've seen exactly zero Teslas on the road. Yet this factory is cranking out all these batteries for them.

I like the Toyota FLT @ 6:00 with the lpg bottle.

Probably the best item in the factory, unless they have a Komatsu.

Current electric cars are for people with money to burn on a new play toy. The average person needs a car with better range and able to fuel up anywhere.

They never tell people the mileage drops a lot if you run the AC or have a lot of hills to climb.

As much as I detest internal combustion engine cars and all their associated problems, they will remain the only practical choice for the common man, and electric cars will remain play toys for the rich until the technology can be improved to equal gasoline-driven vehicles in range, endurance and economy.

I thought it was the factory in Reno when I started reading the article title, but in Germany. Guess they haven't perfected those lithium batteries quite yet.
