megafactory
Massive manufacturing facility
A megafactory is an extremely large manufacturing facility, typically spanning millions of square feet and employing thousands of workers.
The term gained prominence with electric vehicle and battery production: Tesla's megafactory in Nevada produces battery cells at unprecedented scale.
Megafactories represent a return to massive integrated production after decades of distributed manufacturing.
