The tax credit certificate has more data through end of 2016:

Total investment by Tesla by end of 2016 was $1.1 billion. For PENA, it's $300 million. That's with basically 1/2 of the pilot phase tooling installed, so about 19% of the total investment seems about right for mostly tooling and relatively low salary through end of 2016.
Unfortunately, I don't know we will get another Nevada GEOD report anytime soon.
Thanks, a lot of numbers being reported in various reports that are difficult to get one's head around. Presumably everyone is singing from the same hymnal.
The 10k states:
"We have incurred $825.3 million and $317.5 million of costs for our Gigafactory 1 as of December 31, 2016 and 2015."
" In 2016, we used cash of $455.3 million towards Gigafactory 1 construction and expect to spend a total of approximately $770.0 million during 2017."
(Incurred costs-cash used in 2016 = $370 million)
The 10Q for 2Q17 states:
During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we used cash of $758.2 million towards Gigafactory 1 construction.
We had cumulatively incurred and capitalized costs of $1.98 billion and $825.3 million, respectively, for Gigafactory 1 as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
(Incurred costs-cash used in 1H20167= $396.5 million)
The terminology doesn't seem consistent: "cash" vs "spend" vs "incurred costs" Perhaps the "cash" is just that and the "incurred [and capitalized] costs" are accrued liabilities. Also, depending on the meaning of "spend" the expected 2017 total has been exceeded in the first half.
The $825.3 million through 12/31/16 is reasonably close to Grant Thornton's $812.8 million; however, if one backs out the $4.5 million GT shows for "Expensed Personal Property" the discrepancy increases.
The employee count seems to lag the 6,000 full-time employee projection:
At 9/30/16:
Tesla 311
Pena 58
Constr. 4,454
At 12/31/16:
Tesla 386
Pena 91
Constr 5,591
If you guesstimate the GF was 15% complete at 12/31/16: Tesla and PENA F/T employees = 477/0.15 = 3,180 at 100%
