Tesla Roadrunner Battery Production Is World's 13th Largest Cell Plant

Tesla's Roadrunner line’s 10 GWh output actually makes it the world’s 13th-largest battery production facility in the world, notes Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, a market intelligence publisher for the lithium-ion battery to the electric vehicle supply chain.

During Tesla’s Battery Day event two days ago, CEO Elon Musk and Drew Baglino announced that its pilot battery cell production Roadrunner line would be capable of producing about 10 GWh worth of batteries per year. Teslarati is taking a closer look at the Roadrunner line’s planned annual output and says that Tesla has created something that’s incredibly disruptive and innovative at the same time.

Simon Alvares reports at Teslarati.com on Tesla's Roadrunner Battery Production size.

"The disruption of Tesla’s next-generation battery and cell production system becomes even more evident when one considers just how compact the system is. The Roadrunner line is located in Tesla’s Kato Road facility, which is comprised of two buildings that cover 184,880 sq ft combined, as per the company’s filings to the City of Fremont. To build a 10 GWh battery production plant from such a space is something truly remarkable.

"It should also be considered that the 10 GWh Roadrunner system is a pilot production line, which means that it’s still bound to be improved over time. The Kato Road facility may hold its place as the world’s 13th-largest battery production plant when it hits its target output, but there will likely be very little that could stop Tesla from upgrading the facility even further, or at least as soon as improvements become available. Such is the culture of Tesla, after all."
