Not used for S and X. GF1 also gets 2170s from Samsung and others (that's how they got the Australia battery done)So 21700 cells are not used for powerpacks, powerwalls or both?
Can anyone explain to me why GF1 is targeted to produce 150GWh of pack, but only 105 GWh of cells? The packs are consisted of cells, right? So where they are going to find the rest of (150-105=) 45 GWh of cells?
The Model S and X are still using 18650 cells from Panasonic's Asian factories. The cells used to be shipped to Fremont where they were assembled into packs there, but now they are shipped to Nevada and the packs are built there. I'm not sure, but I vaguely recall Tesla moved motor production to GF1 too.
Battery packs for S+3+X and Model 3 motors (and inverters?) are produced at GF-I, that is correct. But I have never heard anything about S/X motor/inverter production been moved from Fremont?I'm not sure, but I vaguely recall Tesla moved motor production to GF1 too.

http://ir.tesla.com/static-files/7aafe167-39ec-4b30-84ad-6cf32723d47eI'm not sure what you are trying to link to but that link doesn't go anywhere...
You asked if there is a document that shows they are building packs for cars at the gigafactory rather than at Fremont. If they were doing it 18 months ago it clearly is what they are doing.OK, that link works, but what are you trying to point out/share with that almost 2 year old document? (It doesn't say anything about S&X packs being produced there.)

Can you point to any actual release or information that says the S&X packs are made at the GF?
Hmm... No, I can't find that now... I was sure that I had read that when they first opened GF-I (before they started to produce cells at the factory) that they moved the production of power-packs, power-walls and battery packs for S+X to GF-I using 18650 from Panasonic Asia, but when I search now all I find is reference to the power-walls/-packs. So It seams like I was wrong about that...Can you point to any actual release or information that says the S&X packs are made at the GF?
I just read that BYD is scheduled to open a battery production facility in China by the end of 2019.
The article said the size was the equivalent of 140 football fields. How does that compare to GF1 ?
This should have the ICE mfrs terrified. Only two companies building out capacity and working to own pricing and development. The rest buying commodity products for generic brand results. This is great news for EV’s in general, but this far into Tesla leading the way, this should all be further along.The floorspace of the BYD factory will be 10.7 million square feet, but the completed GagaFactory 1 will havee 13 million square feet. BYD is claiming theirs is bigger because it has fewer floors and takes up more land.
BYD plans on eventually producing 60 GWh/yr there and GF1 plans on 150 GWh/yr.

BYD will probably eventually be selling cars in the rest of the world, but it their internal demand is so high they aren't exporting much yet.
I have a relative who works in the Bay Area for a large Chinese battery manufacturer. They already have a gigafactory sized battery factory in China and are planning to two more, one in Germany and one in the US. Both will serve German automakers.This should have the ICE mfrs terrified. Only two companies building out capacity and working to own pricing and development.
