Background
Tesla leased large warehouse buildings at Empire West and started fitting them out as a Megafactory in 2025. Public drones pick up in April 2025, then there is a long gap until mid-2026, when the site looks much further along. Later reporting also points to solar manufacturing planned on the same campus.
