Tesla breaks ground in Reno but undecided on gigafactory

Four other states not ruled out
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. —Tesla officials announced Thursday that they broke ground
in Reno, Nevada on a potential site for its $5 billion gigafactory.
In a letter to shareholders Thursday Tesla officials wrote: In June, we
broke ground just outside Reno, Nevada, on a site that could potentially be
the location for the gigafactory.
Tesla officials said they planned to break ground on multiple sites before
deciding on the final location of their gigafactory.
We continue to evaluate other locations in Arizona, California, New Mexico
and Texas, the letter stated.
The final site for the first gigafactory will be determined in the next few
months, once we have full visibility and agreement on the relevant
incentives and processes for enabling the gigafactory to be fully
operational to meet the timing for Model 3, Tesla wrote in a news release.
The electric car maker plans to use the gigafactory to mass produce its
batteries. The gigafactory is expected bring 6,500 jobs to whichever state
it ends up in. Tesla also announced it will partner with Panasonic in the
project.

Re: [EVDL] To Noalox, or Not to Noalox
REAP Systems in England did test that in a lab last year. You can see a video presentation they did on the EVTV web site. Go to video archives, August 16, 2013. A direct link is http://media3.ev-tv.me/news081613-iPhone.m4v. The presentation starts at 23 minutes and the results are around 36 minutes. Instead of sanding they used a steel bristle brush to remove the tarnish from the terminals and busbars. They discharged the cells at 300 amps in 60 second bursts 30 times. The BMS was monitoring individual cell temperatures and if they exceeded 45C it would reduce the current. They strapped 7 100Ah cells together. With uncleaned terminals they got one cycle before having to reduce the current because of temperature. The warmest cell got up to 55C after 10 cycles. With cleaned terminals there was no reduction in current until after 11 cycles when the warmest cell got up to 45C. The warmest cell eventually got just above 50C but after those 11 cycles they'd already drawn half the capacity of the cells. Interestingly there was virtually no difference when they added the grease. So if you think the grease will help prevent corrosion that's fine. But it doesn't seem to do anything to help the connection. --Rick On 7/31/2014 12:43 PM, Michael Ross via EV wrote: With aluminum, you just cannot expose bare un-oxidixed metal, it is not possible to do this, so I am not happy with the sanding idea. The sanding has to be helpful on some other basis if it is indeed helpful. Be interesting if someone has compared greased un-sanded to greased and sanded. ___ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org For EV drag racing discussion, please use NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
Re: [EVDL] To Noalox, or Not to Noalox
The theory that is being proposed is that the noalox or grease will provide better results over some time in service - particularly where there are dissimilar metals in contact. That makes sense to me. I like the idea of brushing much better than sanding. But, fine grit polishing sounds OK to me. I guess you have to buy the idea that the zinc particles in noalox do bind up free oxygen, providing anodic protection within the joint. If the joint was dry, and the grease does not deteriorate, then I I think it might be speculative marketeering, and product differentiation that touts the zinc. It would be interesting to see this tested somehow. On Thu, Aug 7, 2014 at 11:22 PM, Rick Beebe via EV ev@lists.evdl.org wrote: REAP Systems in England did test that in a lab last year.
