Thank you California for being so inept you ran off the greatest businessman of our time and forced him to move to Texas. Signed, a Proud Native Texan!

👋👍

Merci👍👍👍

THANKS BRAD 👍⚡️⚡️⚡️

03:29 I wonder why such a large median on that road

F TH-cam AND ITS COMMENT DELETING ALGORITHM

Every single car loading lane has leaks from diesel trucks 😂😂

What's the steel supports out of the ground at the new mega pack site?

Another bright day mate. What sort of speed could a CT reach from a standing start to west side tunnel exit?

Thanks Brad. *Sort by Newest First or Top Comments if only the first few lines are visible* 2:45. Battery, west. Top left. Long view. Cranes not visible. Must be laying down. Top right from about 6:25, 8:19 also. 3:18. Westside, new project. Seems a shaft is to be constructed here to launch a ‘microtunnelling’ TBM under the river. There is a current permit for the ‘Giga Texas Wastewater Interceptor’ project. Address is south of the river, mentions minimum 25’ 7.5m diameter shaft, and max 7’ 2.m diameter tunnel. Presumably this north side is a mirror of those features. Some information coincidentally shown on the Sand Hill Lateral Pipeline Extension documents. 4:24. Westside, Tunnel Project. MotherTruck. Bottom right. Some roof panels fixed. I think I see screws. 9:53. Temporary Switchyard site. If this is a BESS, the method of construction differs from the existing BESS. 10:23. Temporary Switchyard site. Left stack of screw/auger piles. 10:55. Battery, roof. No obvious visible change that would require such a large crane. Nothing of note hoisted onto the roof. 11:18. Casting, north. Apron. Right. Pavement demolished in front of the triplet of doors. Rebar placed. 11:27. Casting, diagonal corner. Apron. Pavement demolished in front of the drive-through door. 12:29. Battery, roof. Top right. Lot of people at the south of Battery. Top left 12:37 also. 13:33. Northend. Casting storage. Yellow caution tape around 6 Cybertruck front castings.

Thanks Brad

Good job

Thanks Brad! New tunnel/Giga Texas Offsite Wastewater Interceptor project: @ 3:14 Based on a permit found by Frank and other Information spotted by Dessie..... The round circle in the gravel is where a vertical TBM shaft will likely be excavated. There will likely be a shaft on each side of the river. A small TBM will be lowered in one shaft to the proper depth, bore a tunnel under the river and be recovered in the other shaft. The wastewater interceptor will be a 5' diameter pipe. Running parallel to, and slightly east of the gas pipeline. Depth is unknown at this point, but the gas pipeline is about 85 - 90 feet deep at River road. While the wastewater interceptor has nothing to do with the gas pipeline... The gas pipeline documentation shows the location of other utilities and future projects. It shows the interceptor line running from the location of the southbound offramp, on the other side of the river, and heading north to about the location of the Cybertruck tunnel. Of course, this is just partial information shown on one page, not the full extent of the project. Substation expansion project: @ 8:52 Conductors have been pulled between the A-frame towers. New Megapack site: @ 9:54 Screw piles driven down the middle. Another stack of piles @ 10:22 (Upper left).

Very interesting video Dave! Thanks for researching and sharing, amazing what people read and trust in the press, thank goodness for people like you that filter the junk and FUD that these sponsored publications produce! I do my own research and you provide a diverse and factual source of information as part of it! With a hint of humour and kindness - take care

Interesting that they are leveling out the area between the tunnel and the trailer yard. Will they have trucks use that newly paved stretch of road to access the WOW yard?

Great drone footage and amazing views. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍

Cybercab at 3:40!

👋👍

There are still no Christmas decorations😅

There doesn't seem to be enough lanes going into the final inspection shed, seem to be struggling now just imagine when things get busy, the back log of cars waiting for entry will be huge, what re your thoughts

Nice shots!

Why still the facination with the cooling tower, it is done, it is operationg and cooling, Imho there is no need to continue to focus on it and zoom in for the same shot like last time.

Thanks Brad. *Sort by Newest First or Top Comments if only the first few lines are visible* 0:26. GA, Level 3. Glazing. Left. 2 glazing units removed and replaced with black panels. Busted unit still in place. 0:48. GA, loading platform. Steel and rebar deliveries on the platform, on trailers on the road. 1:00. Southend, west. Gravel path. Pair of pump units. 3:26. Stamping, apron. Top left. Huge wooden crate. Southend, east. Apron. Truck load of gravel poised to enter. A hole to be filled. 4:37. Westside, Tunnel Project. MotherTruck. Some roof sheets attached. 5:38. River Road, west. Northside. New project. @ItsLilRobs found the contractor is Ward and Burke, an Irish multinational contractor. Inner and outer formwork for a tank or a well. Another deep wet-well project? @Frank-gt7me found a permit current for a ‘Giga Texas offsite wastewater interceptor’. Zip code in the site address is south of the river, but likely all part of this project, and probably part of the ‘Giga Water Loop’ project. Circle of gravel cleared for assembly of the tank/well. Segments of circular bases. Curious. Bottom. Against the fence. Rebar cages for bored piers. Smaller circular forms against the fence. Construx (a formwork contractor) has a youtube channel featuring a Ward and Burke construction project in Blanchardstown, Dublin. Similar gear seen in that video. 6:10. River road, west. Second large wooden crate on a trailer. 15:29. Temporary Switchyard site. Bottom. Concrete encased ductbank suspended from the steel beam spanning across the excavation. 15:41. Temporary Switchyard site. Stack of auger/screw piles. A search of the data-base for screw pile use in the existing BESS shows screw piles only used in the BESS switchyard, and for the small control building. 15:53. Temporary Switchyard site. Excavator with a screw-head attachment. Auger/screw piles beside. 16:44. Switchyard/Substation. Linesmen installing the new conductors across the A-frames.

Thanks Brad - Best Wishes for the Holiday down there :)

Thanks Brad

The new Megapacks might be on the way from the Lathrop plant. A large number of them (150-200?) are no longer on their outbound lot. Do we know how many are expected based on the number of new transformers now on site? My guess was a minimum 160 based on 80 transformers, but are there more?

EOL landscaping: @ 7:02 Mostly gravel added to the existing concrete. Do they not like trees and green plants? Supercharger canopies: @ 8:54 Sure hope these are temporary.

Thanks Brad! Things are rocking, rolling, and making great progress! Stay on it! Cheers

Good job, Brad Sloan

Thanks Brad! New Megapack site: @ 15:40 and 15:53 Screw piles? Mega-vault: @ 16:08 (Bottom left) Conduit in trench for a short duct-bank that goes under the fence. This will bring medium voltage power from the substation into the vault and the new switchgear building. Substation expansion project: @ 16:46, and 16:56 to 17:14 Pulling wire between the A-frame towers.

Tesla needs to ship more cars here in Colorado-inventory is disappearing so fast-while NYC has many with huge discount.

Model Q or Quasi - Apparently but not really; seemingly:

Merci👍👍👍

Great video Brad. Thank you for your regular updates.

The homeless gonna have a field day with those

What about the environment building those monstrosity

Tesla Giga Factory, SpaceX Starship Starbase, the amount of industry taking place in TEXAS by just two of Musk's companies is astounding! ⭐

Elon doesn't do anything small ..

"Canopies For Superchargers" because the NACS connector can't be cooled like the cable and the sun gets hot in Southern Texas at times. And the supercharger would slow down if the NACS gets hot. And it does.

Merci👍👍👍

Thank God for mute button...

Diggin' the fog.

Thanks Brad. *Sort by Newest First or Top Comments if only the first few lines are visible* 0:25. Southend, east diagonal corner. Glazing unit installed. 2:14. Southend, east diagonal. Apron. Each of the black counterweights is 1000kg, a bit over or a bit under either of the tons. 2:52. Southend, south. Upper terrace. Excavator. Early, hasn’t been paved yet. 3:49. Southend, west. Apron. Asphalt paving works. Concrete contractor ready to do some work. Maybe on east-west vehicle passageway where the excavator is scratching around. 4:23. Westside, Tunnel Project. MotherTruck frame being painted. 5:02. River Road, west. Northside. New project. Inner and outer formwork for a tank or a well. Another deep wet-well project? I wonder if a de-watering system will be needed here also during construction, leading to years of misinterpretation about the purpose of the project. Possibly the first stage of getting the drainage ditch out of the way for additional highway works. 6:47. GA, Model Y exit. Lidar equipped Model 3. Doing a U turn, or mapping out a self driving route for Model Ys. 6:55. GA, highway side. Apron. Asphalt paving works around the vault. May have been some additional cables run. 7:24. EOL, north. Paving? Was marked BS during the set-out. 9:05. EOL, Superchargers. Shade sails installed. Unfinished post installation on the north side shows that the auger/screws piles don’t appear to have been utilised. 11:49. Switchyard/substation. MegaVault. Left. 3rd controls building installed. 12:36. Temporary switchyard site. Permit current for ‘LCRA Switchyard Expansion and BESS Yard’. 13:42. Casting, east. Apron. Follow that forklift towing the trailer! I think this is how the dies are shifted between here and the Die Shop. First time it has been seen moved in weeks.

Thanks Brad. Looks like a lot happened in the last 24 hours.

Tesla sales continue to plummet and their head Genius built a flat roof in Texas... $50 says it starts leaking within the year....

Great tunes. Kinda Texas twangy.
