Why Tour It
Gigafactory Texas is more than a factory. It is the beating heart of Tesla in Austin, and seeing it in person changes how you think about the cars we all drive.
Feel The Sheer Scale
Giga Texas is one of the largest buildings in the world by footprint. Standing inside it, watching robots and people work in sync, is something photos never quite capture.
Witness History
This is Tesla's headquarters campus on the Colorado River, just east of downtown Austin. Touring it is a front-row look at the company shaping the future of electric vehicles.
An Unforgettable Day
For Tesla owners and enthusiasts, a Gigafactory tour is a bucket-list experience. It is the kind of day you talk about with fellow owners for years afterward.
The Experience
A Gigafactory Texas tour usually starts outside the enormous main building, where the scale alone sets the tone. From there you move through the facility and watch the production process unfold, from raw materials and stamped panels to body assembly, paint, and final vehicles ready to drive away.
Along the way you see the mix of giant casting machines, robotics, and the people who keep it all running. Guides share the story of how Tesla brought this campus to Austin and what makes building cars here different. Cameras and access are managed by Tesla for safety, so follow the guidance you are given on the day.
Most visitors leave with a new appreciation for what goes into every Tesla, and plenty of stories to share with fellow owners back home.

There are two main ways to get inside Gigafactory Texas. Here is how each one works.
