And like they say, "you ain't seen nothing yet!"

Come mid-2017, the new Tesla Motor's battery Gigafactory in Nevada will
begin cranking out 75 lithium-ion cells per second for their new Model 3 cars.

It is claimed to be the world's biggest building by footprint and will
produce at least 35 gigawatt-hours of batteries per year.

Dec 30th 2016 article on the factory appeared in IEEE Spectrum magazine -
