As of 22 Aug 2026 · Europe/Zurich · 39 sites · 33 on the map
Compiled 22 Aug 2026 (Europe/Zurich). Numeric claims are only those found in named sources; unknown fields are null. Prefer Tesla Q2 2026 Exhibit 99.1 and 10-K FY2025 over blogs. Footnotes.
Biggest gaps: site-level headcount is almost never published (Tesla 10-K is company-wide; SpaceX ~22,000 FT is company-wide; Bastrop’s 1,590 is the rare 2026 named-manager figure). Utilization is qualitative — no invented percentages. Floor area often Wikipedia or old permits. Six sites have no public coordinates.
