Why It Matters: Most of Tesla's drive units are seemingly made in Giga Nevada located less than an hour from Lake Tahoe. In early June, the company announced that its gigafactory in Nevada made its 5 millionth drive unit, or about 50% of its overall drive unit production to date.
特斯拉的大多数驱动器似乎是在位于内华达州的Giga Nevada工厂制造的，该工厂距离塔霍湖不到一小时的车程。今年6月初，该公司宣布Giga Nevada工厂制造了500万台驱动器，这占到了其迄今为止总驱动器产量的约50%。
