gigafactory
Huge production facility
A gigafactory is a massive manufacturing facility, particularly one producing batteries or electric vehicles at enormous scale.
The term was coined by Tesla for its Nevada battery plant, with "giga" referring to the factory's gigawatt-hour production capacity.
Other companies have since adopted the term for similar large-scale production facilities: The automaker announced plans to build a gigafactory in Germany.
