[edit]Not just Tesla can have Gigafactories. Envision, Nissan's partner, too. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-57666008 2.28.151.135 (talk) 16:07, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
The term is now also being used to describe AI "gigafactories" which are essentially extremely large supercomputers that include specialized processors for AI model training. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/apr/09/eu-to-build-ai-gigafactories-20bn-push-catch-up-us-china.
