Gases. The manufacturer is not only manufacturing batteries, but also producing a new generation of battery for the home. Lauren summer got a rare look inside the factory and joins us now. Hi, lauren. Hi. How big is this factory. When i went to visit, its just a small peace piece of it, but its 800,000 feet already. When its done, it will be 5. 8 million square feet. Thats 100 football fields. This is one building, one massive building where one wall is 3 4 mile. Scale is what were going for. The whole idea is ramp up production of batteries and cars. Why is it so important for them to have their own production . Batteries have been expensive for the most part. Its a big part of the Sticker Price for one of those cars, 10,000 or more for the battery packs that power them. Theyre betting with a massive factory this is going to double the capacity to make lithium ion batteries in the world. The with their own factory, they can drive down the price 30 or more which will make cars more aft
