Regarding Tesla’s decision to build a Gigafactory near Reno: “This is not just about incentives. [Nevada is a] really get things done state. That was a really important part of the decision.”

Elon Musk, CEO, Tesla Motors

“Reno plays an incredibly important role in the products and services that we provide our customers worldwide. Without the data center here, none of this would be possible. We’ve invested $1.6 billion in the region today and over the course of the next six years, we intend to invest an additional $1 billion.”

“In February of 2017, the Las Vegas-based Switch has opened the largest data center in the world, next to Tesla Inc.’s battery factory in northern Nevada’s Tahoe Reno Industrial Center. Covering 1.3 million square feet, the facility fulfills the vision of Switch founder and CEO Rob Roy to create the largest data center ecosystem in the world for our customers’ mission-critical workloads.”
