Elon. Tesla came up with the name of these things.

But it's called a gigafactory because it produces 1 GWh.

Also it's 1000x bigger than a mega factory. We know this because if it was 1024x bigger, it would be a gibifactory.

Hmm, so a regular factory is 1/10^9^ the size of a gigafactory? The one in Texas is 10M ft^2, so a regular factory would be 0.01 ft^2^, 1.44 in^2^, or 9.29cm^2^. Seems legit.
