Nevada will have nearly 35,000 more residents in the year 2032 than it would have if the state hadn't landed the Tesla Motors battery factory and another major business, according to new projections released Wednesday, Oct. 8, 2014. State demographer Jeff Hardcastle circulated a draft of his predictions Sept. 1, but said news that month about Tesla's gigafactory shuffled the numbers and prompted an update.
