LATHROP FACTORY With 431K sq ft of manufacturing space, Tesla’s Lathrop facility in California hosts computer numerical control (CNC) operations, PRODUCT machining and castings manufacturing. Located 50 miles from our 2 MW / 4 MWh Fremont Factory, the Lathrop facility features an installed battery Powerpack Battery operation that helps reduce peak energy consumption, alleviating APPLICATION stress on the electricity grid during heavy-use times and minimizing Peak Shaving the dependence on peaker power plants. TILBURG FACTORY Tesla’s Tilburg Factory in the Netherlands serves as the local assembly, PRODUCT quality testing and distribution point for Model S and Model X vehicles 3.4 MW sold in the European Union (EU). The Tilburg Factory houses a 3.4 MW Solar Array solar array that consists of almost 10.5K solar modules. This solar system generates enough electricity to meet the Tilburg Factory’s APPLICATION energy needs throughout most of the year. To put the magnitude of Facility’s Energy Needs the installation in perspective, it is the size of almost 3 European football fields and between July 2017 to June 2018 generated an amount of electricity that would have been sufficient to power 942 Opened in 2013, Tesla’s Tilburg Factory households in the region. In other words, the solar power captured in the Netherlands spans 11-acres, houses by this system from that same time period would be sufficient to a rooftop solar array and features an meet the energy needs for electric vehicles to drive a combined indoor driving track, quality control stations and several assembly lines. total of over 16.7M km (10.4M miles).
