waste a money

Why does teh parking structure not have a solar roof?

F-150

Southend new structure, I believe could be a fire station, The overhang sort of gives it away, there should be another level for admin restrooms, sleeping areas, training, spares storage and canteen, then a level with water tanks. Probably wrong, but the overhang is not a real functional piece of the building other than to protect people from rain or rain ingress into the structure. Could also be a part of the boring tunnel around the building to transport workers, look how close it is to the parking structure. So it could be a station and the north-east and west where they are removing concrete from the slab could be where different stations are, possibly being placed with lifts down to the tunnel. Might also be for materials transport around the site, but I would take a wild guess it is for workers as it is so close to the parking structure. If the new structure to the north-east of the building gets similar construction, similar pilings, then I think the cat is out of the bag. Or it could be for both staff and materials transport. I believe if we see some gantry construction materials then it will be almost guaranteed as boring tunnel stations, I always wondered why they would only build a few hundred meters of tunnel from one side of the free way to the other, it would have been much more cost-effective to build a bridge. It took months to prepare the boring machine and get it working, why waste that with only a few hundred meters of tunnel when it now being set up could travel all over the site at not much more cost other than materials. My two cents worth.

The amount of tunnelling can be metered by how far the bottom of cassette rollers move up. Then they will reset by putting another segment from the spare belt that is on the girder. The cassette makes it possible for reach to be infinitely variable without any slack. That's my guess.

If you look at the cassette for the coveter belt it is rather easy to see how far the boring tunnel has advanced, I think they have used three of the vertical conveyor segments, determine how long each segment is from top to bottom x by 3, and you will be roughly in the ballpark of how far they have bored. I think about 150 meters so far, roughly.

Völlig überraschend wird immer noch das Megapacks repariert …

With that many sitting around could it be their having trouble finding enough morons to buy them???

Merci👍👍👍

Prufrock tunnel. Approx 240 stacks of 3x segments on site. Enough for 180m of tunnel. Still at least 40+m worth of segments to deliver.

Thank you!

Saw a new Model 'Y' in my grocery store lot today. OMG, how beautiful it is in blue. Very impressive. I was actually embarrassed for my own ICE car. lol But, I don't think I could ever give up a Model 'Y' to become a robotaxi. It's too beautiful to 'put out on the street'. lol

We need this type of building and manufacturing, ALL over America. We should build EVERYTHING, and Import Nothing. I had no idea how big Elons dream, really is. What kind of drone camera did you use, and can a person buy one off the Rack? Great Footage, My Respects, RH DSD

The music in fantastic.

Look at all those gas and diesel trucks and tractors building that place

Thanks Brad 0:46. Southend, east corner. Gensets either side of the corner. 1:17. Southend. New Structure. There goes the bridge crane idea. Formwork in place for what will evidently be a roof. Maybe a central hoist suspended under. Once some rebar is placed it will be more obvious what is going on here. Formwork overhangs the columns by around 2m 7’. 2:21. Windtunnel. Cybertruck parked. 3:02. BIW, roof. Right. Angular cowls fitted. Some mesh decking installed. Left. Stamping, roof. Behind the parapet wall. Frame for Roof Pipework Project being installed. 3:25 also. Will need to go up and over the stairwell structure, or a stair will need to be installed over. Similiar to those at 4:39 to the right. 4:07. Southend, inside. Retaining wall. Still not obvious to me what the purpose of the wall is. Tunnel alignment (not necessarily the tunnel) is to the right. Southend, roof. Steel decking. Pairs of the red roof drain inlets in place. Finished membrane, inlets marked with a red circle. 4:45. Southend, west. Apron. Replacement lid for the Sanitary Sewer deep well. Larger door opening seems to be the difference. Low-loader parked. 5:00. Southend west, inside. Black band around the base of the raised column pedestals. May have reached the finished grade for the fill. 5:12. Southend west, inside. Retaining wall footing. Likely at the location where the floor grade changes. Far right. Inside. Yellow plastic membrane laid. 5:38. Westside, storage. Bottom right. Roll-up door, rolled out. 7:19. Westside, Tunnel Project. Left. Spoil in the spoil pit. TBM operational. 13:32. Temporary switchyard area. Bottom left. Loading up some beer money. Bottom. Transition between concrete and steel stormwater drain has been encased in concrete. 13:40. Tesla Road. North. Vacuum/suction excavation exploratory trenches. Ductbank/s coming through here. 14:44. Casting, diagonal corner. Apron. Vault lid removed. Pavement demolition underway. Angled line of trench visible. Left. Road. Black chainwire mesh fence being erected. 14:55. Casting, diagonal corner. Apron. Right of the blue bins. Heat affected materials, likely out of one of the furnaces. Possibility that one of the old furnaces is being demolished, or some maintenance work perhaps. Better view in Joe’s photos. 15:21. Casting east. Apron. Crane set up to remove the saw-cut wall panel segments of a new door opening. 15:40. MM Batch plant. Right. Truck backed up to one of the wash-out pits.

It would be interesting if you were able to zoom in on that mystery structure that has some concrete for 2:36 ms I'd like to get a close look at those.

auto industry tails in between once all the vehicles from Tesla will have 48v & SBW.

Looks like they hired a new carrier company. Don't recall seeing all those green car haulers before.

Cheers as always.

Yesterday, there was a white SUV on top of the parking garage which tells us that the parking garage is at least partially able for vehicles to drive up thru all the floors to the roof. It wont be much longer before employees will be parking in it. I'm taking bets on June 1st. !

Thanks Brad! Concrete project by the easement: @ 1:16 It will be interesting to see how open the top deck will be once they start laying rebar. Parking garage: @ 2:41 (Bottom right), 2:46 (Bottom right), and 2:55 (Bottom left) All vault covers on the vaults. Electrical work likely done for now. New power supply to the factory: @ 14:46 (Right, by the building) Vault cover removed. Excavator removing sections of the slab around the vaults. These vaults may have to be reworked. There are only 8 conduits going into the building from each vault. The new duct-banks contain 12 conduits each! @ 13:18 Ongoing work to construct new duct-banks, duct-banks connected to the vaults. @ 13:26 (Bottom) New vaults ready to be placed. @ 13:32 (Bottom) Stormwater pipe finally competed after demolishing part of the old duct-bank from the temporary substation. Loading cable from demolished duct-bank onto trailer. @ 13:40 (Bottom) Appears to have been some hydrovac excavation along the duct-bank alignment.

8:02 It looks to me like the bottom of the belt cassette is raised half-way, so they've used up half the spare conveyer belt. As the boring machine digs farther into the tunnel, a longer belt is needed to convey the dirt out, so the cassette slowly raises as the machine goes forward. When they run out, they'll attach the spool positioned above the belt, extending the length, and lowering the cassette back down to store the excess until it's needed. I figure you can estimate the distance they've dug by multiplying the height they've raised the cassette by the number of belt switchbacks in the cassette, but I'm bad at that sort of spacial estimation, so I won't guess a number. [Or at least that's my understanding of the process; if I got anything wrong, please let me know.]

I count 159 Cybertrucks in the east lot, but I may be off by one or two.

That's literally LOTS of "Ferraris". (referencing some Wall St. pundit predicting the CT would sell as many as an exotic sports car)

I am addicted to watching this daily, please keep it up. Joe is screwing up, his head has gotten to big.

They sure are fuggly. Are they all the same color. Are all those machines and dump trucks EV?

What happening inside Tesla too many people lose job or quit

I want a Red one!

Texas Bumper Cars for the Fair!

better Ship that Crap before it gets Hot in Texas, the Grid will Crash charging these Crappy Wanna be Trucks!

Texans Don’t buy kids toys.

If the entire parking lot were full, that would be a ''backup'''.

Class action CT lawsuit. How could such dangerous flaws be allowed for sale.

Merci👍👍👍

Gas for life❤

Bye bye, bye bye California.....

Sorry Ellon but this thing is simply to ugly ,I would not have this square shoebox of a car.

Ohne, schon wieder Reparaturen am Megapacks! Am Besten - Abreißen.

Thank you!

Brad, have you seen where the spoils from the tunnel are being deposited?

You are the best drone in Gigga, TX. Nice work *******

I think they are just giving these EV's out to liberals to drive so people see them and feel guilty for driving our SUV's. I have 327,000 miles on my 2002 Tahoe, let's see if ANY EV can do that

Thanks Brad. 0:31. Southend west. Inside. Level 1. Putting up the shuttering for the retaining wall that dog-legs away to the east. Raised floor level in this area will benefit the ramped access to the tunnel portal. Ramp can be half the length. Tunnel useful height 10’, floor elevated 4 to 5’. 1:08. Southend south. Apron. Gazebos being placed over the suction lifting rigs. They have been keeping these undercover when not in use. 1:47. Southend east. New Structure. Bottom. Making up rebar cages for beams. How things change in 24 hours. Staging (red scaffold like items) erected for beams to be constructed on top of. Bridge crane idea looking shaky. Roof, shaky. Might be a structure for chiller plant after all. 2:59. Old EOL staging yard. Tent removed. 3:13. Parking Garage. Top deck. Left. Parking stall line marking. BIW. Apron. Right. Green pumps in amongst the temporary chillers. 4:13. Southend. Roof. Insulation boards being placed. Bottom. Puzzled by the angled board between roof and fire separation wall. 5:26. Westside. Tunnel Project. Final back-up deck installed. The MPVs loaded with the tunnel segments likely being used to restrain the back-up decks as they are being let into the tunnel. Good view in one of Joe’s photos of the 2 MPVs and a back-up deck all chained together. Ventilation ducted fan shifted into place. 6:05. Westside. Tunnel Project. Bottom right. Sign on the Fence. ‘The Boring Company. Tunneling site. Tesla Gigafactory Austin TX’. 12:03. Tesla road, north. Easement. Stormwater drain being completed across where the original ductbank from the Temporary Switchyard has been demolished. Stack of conduit and cable, bottom right. 12:48 also. 13:34. Northend. Road. Bottom left. Pavement being cored for fence post installation. 13:44. Casting diagonal corner. Apron. Pavement saw-cut/marked for cutting for trenches and a vault. 15:37. Far north east. Along the fence line top right, and along the road (Gilbert Road) top left. Pipeline works. Works for a sanitary sewer force main were permitted here 18 months ago. 16:46, 16:54 also. 16:00. Far north storage. Bottom left. Pair of cyclonic filters or similar.

Some of your best work yet Brad. Crystal clear views all around.

Good eye on the new construction on the East side.

South end: @ 0:37 and 1:00 Grade inside being raised to the tops of the column pedestals. Concrete project near the easement: 1:49 (Bottom) Scaffolding being placed. Appears that there will be a large concrete deck supported by the columns. To the right... Tesla road extension. Parking garage: @ 3:14 Top deck striped for parking spaces. South end: @ 4:10 Laying insulating panels on the roof.

from 14:57 onwards: the Utility platform and its immediate environment next to Cathode looks reasonably tidy. Left over carton, woods, pieces of cable etc have been collected. This is a major change really, never seen before. Hopefully this is a sign that construction work is finished and a proper operations regime has started. As I write this there is no mention (yet?) of the Cathode Factory in the ongoing Shareholders mtg but we could make a reasonable guess if for instance cryogenics are loaded in the storage vessels anytime soon.
