Tesla Gigafactory estimated to have produced 1,500 Model 3 batteries

Genscape is a company that uses proprietary monitoring technology to track hundreds of industrial facilities, including the Tesla Gigafactory near Reno, Nevada.

The video about Tesla's Gigafactory from June 1, 2016 to July 18, 2017 leaked by the company provides a clear picture of its current progress and what happened.

The greatest value of the video provided by Genscape lies in the estimation of daily battery production and power consumption of the Gigafactory.

The chart below shows that Tesla is not yet producing Model 3 batteries in series. Adding all the charts together, it can be seen that about 1,500 battery packs have been shipped so far.

"Genscape is ready to answer questions about how efficiently Tesla is executing against its ambitious goals. Using an array of proprietary monitoring technologies, Genscape can track and estimate battery production at the Gigafactory on a daily basis, and from this, we can infer Tesla Model 3 production."

In addition to monitoring battery cell production, Genscape is also measuring the Tesla Gigafactory’s increased power consumption as construction progresses, as well as battery production lines come online and undergo testing. Using daily satellite imagery provided by Planet Labs, as well as real-time information gathered from a variety of independent monitoring sources, Genscape is keeping a close eye on the ongoing construction progress of the massive modular facility.”
