Unofficial Leak: Tesla’s New Gigafactory is Headed to Nevada The new design for the Gigafactory features a roof covered in solar panels, while a wind farm still sits off to one side of the structure. The previous design put the solar array on the ground near to the factory, so the new design is much more space efficient. By being “net zero” the factory won’t have to be off-grid, but it is pledged that it will be powered by renewables. In a separate comment, Musk stated the Gigafactory would be “shaped like a diamond” for increased efficiency during the building process, so the latest concept design may yet get further tweaking. inhabitat/tesla-unveils-ultra-efficient-diamond-shaped-design-for-nevada-gigafactory/
