Only rear-wheel-drive versions of Tesla\u2019s new midsize car will be available at first, as the factory seeks to limit the number of options available to make production as simple and efficient as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Genscape is a company that tracks hundreds of industrial enterprises using drone videos and other proprietary tracking techniques. You can view footage of the progress at the Tesla Gigafactory in Sparks, Nevada, in its new video.

Using an array of patented proprietary monitoring techniques, Genscape is tracking and estimating the daily battery production at the Tesla Gigafactory that is fueling the Model 3 electric vehicle production ramp-up at Tesla\u2019s Fremont Vehicle Plant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn addition to monitoring battery pack production, Genscape is also measuring the ramp-up in electric power consumption by the Tesla Gigafactory as construction progresses and additional battery production lines are brought online and tested. Genscape is closely watching ongoing construction progress of the massive modular facility, via daily satellite imagery courtesy of Planet Labs, and making all the real-time information gathered from various independent monitoring sources available to its customers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/c1cleantechnicacom-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com\/files\/2017\/07\/Tesla-Gigafactory-Progress.png\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mdpair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Tesla-Gigafactory-Progress-570x371.png\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Genscape even knows when those Model 3 battery packs were produced \u2014 although, how it gets its information is shrouded in secrecy.
