KalKan Foods
The Tesla Gigafactory is in Clark, Nevada Being out in the middle of the desert & right next to interstate 80, Clark has a number of really huge warehouses. A half-million square feet and larger. Walmart, eBay, Petsmart... they all have warehouses here. The picture above is the KalKan factory. They make pet food that is sold exclusively at Walmart. The area around Clark looks like it is being set up to host dozens of these massive structures. There are signs & roads to nowhere. Looks like it is going to be good business. But I don't think they will host tens of thousands of employees. I don't think I saw more than 50 cars outsind of one of these.
The Tesla Gigafactory has a guard at the gate. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. He was friendly enough, but he wouldn't let me in, so I had to turn around and go back. I suggested that he had a lonely job way out here in the middle of the desert. "Well," he replied, "If it is cold or rainy it can get pretty quiet, but there are days where I turn away quite a few." As I was making the turn-around a red Volvo came driving up I pulled over just to watch. Sure enough, they turned around and sped on past me.
