Description
Gigafactory Texas (also known as Giga Texas, Giga Austin, or Gigafactory 5) is a Tesla, Inc. automotive manufacturing facility in unincorporated Travis County, Texas, just outside of Austin. Construction began in July 2020, limited production of Model Y began before the end of 2021, and initial deliveries of vehicles built at the factory took place at an opening party called "Cyber Rodeo" on April 7, 2022.
The factory produces Model Y cars for the Eastern United States and is also the main factory for the Cybertruck and the company's next-generation vehicle. It also serves as the site of Tesla's corporate headquarters. It is the country's second biggest factory by size as well as the second-largest building by volume in the world after the Boeing Everett Factory.
Tesla originally planned to employ a staff of over 60,000 as production ramped up. However, in 2024, approx. 2,700 employees (12% of the factory's workforce) were terminated in one of the largest layoffs in Austin history.
