Tesla To Hold Gigafactory Grand Opening on July 29 22
Tesla's mammoth 13-acre battery making Gigafactory isn't due to begin production on lithium ion cells until next year, but according to a report on Fortune, the factory's grand opening is to be held on July 29. According to a report on Bloomberg, as of earlier this month, only 14 percent of the Gigafactory has been built so far. Though, Tesla is already utilizing it to produce Powerpacks and Powerwalls. The factory will apparently cost at least $5 billion to make. (Thanks to an anonymous reader for sharing the link.)

23 acres per million sq. ft. ==> 133.5 acres of basic floor area, 267 acres of floor space (counting the up to four floors).

They already got some production up and running so why be such an asshole about 'grand openings'.
