Tesla Factory Tour
I had a lot of fun visiting the Tesla factory in Fremont, the tour lasted about 60 minutes. No photos or videos are allowed inside the factory. Tesla owners may book one tour per calendar year, and they can bring 4 people with them.
Covering 5.3 million square feet,the Fremont factory is one of the largest buildings in the world. The size is equivalent to 96 football fields or 55 Costcos and is the home office and manufacturing factory of the Model S, X and 3.
More than 10,000 employees work at the Fremont factory.
The vehicle battery pack weighs almost 1,200 pounds (540 kg).
The manufacturing process uses more than 160 specialized robots, including 10 of the largest robots in the world.
Most of the robots are from Japan and Germany.
The Tesla Model S police car will soon hit the road in Fremont, saving the city about $30,000 in gas.
