New photos show the progress of Tesla's battery Gigafactory in Nevada. The images show that the large two-story building - at least its shell - is coming along nicely, with about a quarter of the area erected. There's a roof on most of what's been built, but nothing has been closed in yet. Of course, there's a lot of work left to be done, including installing all the equipment on the factory floor when the building is completed. Tesla targets 2017 for the production of the new Model 3 sedan, but it needs this battery facility finished to provide batteries for the car. See the photos over at Green Car Reports.
