Is gigafactory just like a word we have to live with existing now?

It’s basically the gigachad of the factory world.

It’s going to be confusing when we get to terafactories and then petafactories. One pumping out Halloween joy and the other filled with llamas and stuff.

"annual capacity of 1 GWh"

He names things like I named my 90s teenage AIM accounts.

Who? Norway?

[–] TimeSquirrel@kbin.melroy.org 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Elon. Tesla came up with the name of these things.

But it's called a gigafactory because it produces 1 GWh.

Also it's 1000x bigger than a mega factory. We know this because if it was 1024x bigger, it would be a gibifactory.

Hmm, so a regular factory is 1/10^9^ the size of a gigafactory? The one in Texas is 10M ft^2, so a regular factory would be 0.01 ft^2^, 1.44 in^2^, or 9.29cm^2^. Seems legit.
