Nothing, in my opinion, but we do have a separate thread for that Goodbye Federal $7,500 tax credit - no way it survives Trump/Senate/House

Finally, Tesla is starting with the expansion of the gigafactory : http://www.carsdistrict.com/tesla-master-plan-given-green-light-expansion-can-start/
You're too small to be invited. Most if not all posting here are too small.I have read in more than one article that Tesla and its Gigafactory are having an investor tour 4 January 2017. However, as an investor and as of this writing, I have not been invited. Not sure if it is my red nose or being too small an investor. Or, has it been cancelled? Being a long range planner by habit, I do not want to arrange tickets or hotel reservations if I am not invited.
Thanks
I am amazed at the amount of construction progress at the Gigafactory since I was there on 06/29/2016. The enclosed structure volume has more than doubled in just 5 months. That is not counting the very large addition that is not yet enclosed.
Has anybody an idea what they are scooping out on the hill ?
Liquids storage and electrical are around that corner of the plant. If its not general infrastructure for manufacturing they'll have to start putting equipment up there for the windmills at some point.
It is nice to see the intervals of the newest pictures from the Gigafactory are shorter and shorter from month to month
This one was taken this week!

Tesla, and its battery partner Panasonic, started production of cells for qualification at the plant in December, but today, it confirmed the start of “mass production” of the new battery cell, which will enable several of Tesla’s new products, including the Model 3. The new cell (pictured above) is called ‘2170’ because it’s 21mm by 70mm. It’s thicker and taller than the previous cell that Tesla developed with Panasonic, which was in an ‘18650’ cell format.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has been boasting about the new cell over the past few month. He said that it’s the “highest energy density cell in the world and also the cheapest”.The automaker confirmed the start of “mass production” with Panasonic in a new press release today. The announcement coincides with an event held for investors at the Gigafactory this morning. Tesla investors will be able to tour the plant and Musk, as well as other executives, will be present for remarks and a Q&A.
