Tesla’s approach to growth involves addressing supply chain bottlenecks—primarily battery cell production and transformer manufacturing. Tesla anticipates that battery cell suppliers, especially those producing LFP cells, will scale up in response to demand, including the company's own needs for energy storage units and vehicles.
The Houston Gigafactory is set to be the most capable MegaPack plant, with a projected 50 GWh annual capacity by late 2026. This expansion aligns with Tesla's energy objectives, aiming to deploy a total of 130 GWh capacity worldwide—a volume capable of powering millions of homes and supporting global renewable energy integration.
