Την πολιτεία της Νεβάδα επέλεξε τελικά η Tesla για να κατασκευάσει το πρώτο Gigafactory εργοστάσιό της. Το εργοστάσιο θα κατασκευαστεί το Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center, 20 μίλια έξω από την πόλη Reno της Νεβάδα και θα είναι έτοιμο το 2017. Το συνολικό κόστος της επένδυσης θα φτάσει τα 5 δισ. δολάρια με την Panasonic να επενδύει αρχικά 300 εκατ. δολάρια στο εργοστάσιο, με το συνολικό ποσό που θα επενδυσει η Ιαπωνική εταιρία να φτάνει το 1 δισ. δολάρια.
Το Gigafactory της Tesla θα απασχολεί 6.500 άτομα, τα οποία θα κατασκευάζουν μπαταρίες ιόντων-λιθίου για τα αυτοκίνητα της Tesla, με τα χρήματα της Panasonic να χρησιμοποιούνται για την αγορά μηχανημάτων, με την Tesla να χρηματοδοτεί τις υπόλοιπες εγκαταστάσεις. Έως το 2020, η Tesla αναμένει πως το εργοστάσιό της θα κατασκευάζει αρκετές μπαταρίες ώστε να τροφοδοτεί 500.000 ηλεκτρικά αυτοκίνητα ετησίως.
Η πολιτεία της Νεβάδα έδωσε ένα πακέτο κινήτρων στη Tesla, το οποίο φτάνει τα 1,2 δισ. δολάρια σε βάθος 20ετίας, με την Tesla να αναφέρει πως η επένδυση της θα δώσει οικονομική ανάπτυξη στη πολιτεία που θα ξεπεράσει τα 100 δισ. δολάρια.
