Watch a Drone Fly Through Tesla's German Gigafactory
Tesla's German gigafactory opened on March 22, and now we can see it in action thanks to drone footage captured inside the facility.
The gigafactory is currently producing Model Y EVs and has so far employed 3,000 people, with a total of 12,000 jobs expected to be created there. The site is huge (roughly 1.2 square miles), and it needs to be in order to achieve a goal of producing 500,000 electric vehicles every year by 2025.
The drone fly-through gives a good sense of the scale of the operation:
As Electrek reports, the drone was expertly controlled by commercial drone pilot Ferdinand Wolf who works at Skynamic. A separate video was posted on the Skynamic Instagram account capturing a dancing Elon Musk at the launch event for the gigafactory.
Although not an ad for Tesla's vehicles, other car manufacturers may want to take note. A fly-through of your production facilities does as much, if not more, to promote your products than an expensive TV ad showing a single vehicle from lots of different angles ever could.
