Interesting. The text of the article did not change. Perhaps the author is trying to reach audiences on both sides of the Tesla divide.

Looks like the exterior hasn't been updated much except for the rooftopSome new aerial pix of the Gigafactory: New aerial shots of the Tesla Gigafactory – March 2016
It's a two/three story building so sky lights would only help on the one floor. Better to capture that light to use across all floors.wow, incredible research by everyone here! That factory is going to be huge, looks like the current building is only like 1/5 of the eventual design.
I always wonder why they have to use solar panel to cover every sq ft of the roof. Why not leave some open spots every 10 feet or something for a sky light. Plenty of sun in Nevada.

Remember it is 3 stories inside, so only a third of the space would benefit from skylights. Also at this point in technology, a skylight with glazing that could block the heat from the Nevada sun would be more expensive than the equivalent area in solar panels.Why not leave some open spots every 10 feet or something for a sky light

During one round of the referral programs (I think it was the second), winners will get an invitation to GF's grand opening. Initially the invitation says April 2016. Exact date hasn't been confirmed.Were they going to do an update on gigafactory progress in April? Thought I heard that somewhere.
I would guess so. But considering how busy they were with X ramp up and 3 reservation/reveal, it would take some time to do it.Thanks! Sounds like maybe it got delayed if they haven't confirmed a date by now?
