Please don't do 60fps, it doesn't play well on all devices.

Concrete Zamboni!

It’s Time for the Crane(s)!!!

telehandler is the fork lift thing.

Quite a sandbox! (joke) Have to look at the humans walking around to grasp the huge scale of the construction.

Shareholders love seeing their money spent on such things. 😂

At 0:25 and :34 it is too close to the left solid line, so it is not centering, or is being driven manually. Some of the other footage has it somewhat close to the right hand edge. So, maybe not self driving.

thanks you for video , Fantastic , FROM SPAIN

Hi Zanegler. Have you seen that a couple of Tesla Semi's have been spotted at Giga Berlin by Tobias Lindh, see his latest video (it's near the end):- th-cam.com/video/CDvb-dk-LpM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=gK51gDDd6xQukgyZ

(when the semi can platoon every tasla can platoon too )

I can see they finally let you fly over their property! If that's the case, congratulations then!

Great video, sir. Thanks for the information. It's exciting to watch history in the making. Also, I'm sure Tesla themselves will be using your videos to discuss optimisations for the second Semi factory when that starts work. You're brilliant!

Great work , we are all super thank full.

Why isn't the roof completely full of solar panels? Seems logical in Nevada right?

the red pieces of plant machinery are called a telehandler in the UK

Nice video again! But still no big cranes to start construction of the steel. So going vertical is still days away. That wide slab of concrete being poored along the perimeter is also puzzling me, we have not seen that in any of the other Tesla factories.

Absolutely I think it’s driving itself. I come to that conclusion because the Semi is in the middle of the lane. Cheers Zanegler.

Looks like that after the main footing a concrete column base is poured that contains the column bolts. This needs to be very accurate, so not done with the main footing concrete. Steelwork probably several weeks away still. The steelwork will proceed faster than the footings, so footings need to get some time ahead of the steelwork.

Thanks for doing this, Zanegler. You'll keep getting better at this and once the construction goes vertical you'll have more and more exciting material.

Those orange hi lift trucks moving material are called TELEHANDLERS. When they pick up a stack of steel & move it to where it will be installed, that pile of steel has been STAGED near its point of installation. !

I though they are going to expand the battery factory as well?

Since they are now staging steel, I would say erection starts on Monday

They are staging steel. Nice

2:21. Ride-on troweler. 5:11. Tele-handler. These look to be truss columns. 5:41. Hold-down bolts are square/parallel to the grid, as will be the columns. The diamond box around the column a method of finishing the floor slab up to the column. Column on an isolated island. 7:16. Many of these components will be identical. Each component will have a tag showing a designation. C1, C2, C3 etc. The plans will show which grid location is a receive a C1 etc. There might be 50 locations for a C1, 100 for a C2, 5 for a C3. Same with the beams, joists, rafter etc. B1, B2, J1, J2, R1 and so on. 8:18. Orange crane components on the trailer?

I thought Tesla was putting solar panels on the original building…..did they?

Matriculate?✌😎

THANKS ZANEGLER,FOR THE UPDATE 💚💚💚

The steel is being repositioned for easy,quickand efficient installation as soon as the cranes arrive

material has identification tags or numbers are welded on the steel & the plans call out each id number on the drawings. you are doing well on learning the verbiage of construction. my guess on columns going vertical will be two full days after the cranes arrive. the day of arrival will not count. 1st day will be inspection of crane and the next day will be set up with possible test of setting one, two or three to test the crews and equipment.

Please don’t show on video what you should not. Semi on FSD is off limits at this time. After factory is completed and ramped then maybe.

So many of those off-road forklifts; they may use those instead of cranes.

What's the purpose of that wide concrete skirt that's been poured?

The new grade beam across the back is a bit confusing to me. I wonder if this building could be a lot bigger then it looks right now.

the technical name for those lifts is telehandler but the common name is zoom boom

Keep at it, Zanegler, the world is watching 👏👏👏

Seems weird they paved in the dirt area by the panasonic side to make it a parking lot If they were planning to expand the building. Maybe they figured expanding the building is too disruptive to current production?

Great update

Crane on Monday

Still odd to me they are doing a separate building.I want to see Giga Nevada complete.

on the machine finishing the concrete, if you want better terminology, it's a "riding power trowel".

Go Tesla! Go Nevada!

New procedure for sure, and it will be fun to watch. Thank you for doing this.

Great video update! Thanks for posting these videos! Love the progress that is being made! $TSLA

May it's Starlink on top?

THANKS ZANEGLER 🤔 interesting question. I’m sure we’ll find out soon.💚💚💚

They’re collecting data to train the vision model (ie cameras). The LiDAR allows them to do a point map and use it to train the models so the same can be done with cameras only. They’ve done it with many models in the past and the Semi likely needs more of this data as the placement of the cameras is very different than Teslas other vehicle. It is likely this means that Autopilot or FSD is coming in the next 3-6 months to the Semi (especially given FSD v12 and the increased computing power now being installed in Giga Texas)

I'm in Texas and see many autonomous class 8 trucks. Doesn't surprise me to see Tesla doing so. As a trucker myself I should be worried about my job.

No it is not driving itself. Tesla uses temporary lidar rigs to cross reference and test other hardware/software like the cameras or FSD. Lidar setup is not permanent equipment. In one shot u can see the drivers hand on wheel as well. This is just ongoing internal testing.

More likely collecting training data for occupancy network and semi-train operations.

looks similar to the 2 that got delivered to Berlin
