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.
特斯拉的大多數驅動器似乎是在位於內華達州的Giga Nevada工廠製造的，該工廠距離塔霍湖不到一小時的車程。今年6月初，該公司宣佈Giga Nevada工廠製造了500萬台驅動器，這佔到了其迄今爲止總驅動器產量的約50%。

The drive unit serves as the core of an EV by converting electrical energy in the battery to mechanical energy.
驅動器通過將電池中的電能轉化爲機械能，作爲電動車的核心。
Drive units today cost less than half of the original Model S drive unit, according to Tesla.
根據特斯拉的說法，目前驅動器的成本不到早期Model S驅動器的一半。
