Thanks Brad 2:26. EOL, north. Cybertruck wash. Only Cybertrucks get washed. Driven the same route from the factory as the Model Ys except for a short section of rough asphalt from the building exit to the perimeter road at 10:40. Washing off more than construction dirt me thinks. 4:18. Same again. 5:00. Westside, Tunnel Project. 2 additional water storage trailers. Getting towards the end, and additional trailers show up. 6:57. Westside, storage. Bottom. 4 grey cylinders are stacks of 3 each dampers (valves). Speculating a lot of this gear is equipment for the Casting Baghouse. 7:56. Westside. Saddle Rock Drive. Flushing out a section of the water main connection. 8:06. Southend, east. Cooling Tower. Right. Impressive progress on the FRP framework since Joe’s flight yesterday. 8:19. Southend, east. Level 2. Bollards installed behind the glass. 10:40. GA, apron. Marking on the pavement show a couple of services that the tunnel has to duck under. ’15’ o/s’ (offset) to the stormwater drain. Line of drain would be about where the supervisory staff are standing. Same drain continues south to the Splitter Box, crossing the tunnel alignment on the way. 11:11. Stamping 2/Southend. Left. Turning the roofing material up the parapet wall. 11:59. BIW roof. Cooling platform. Green rig for shifting the mesh decking into place. 14:15. Southend, east. Level 2. Great view inside. Level 2 floor opening visible above the location of the subterranean passage. Roof, underside. Suspended scaffold deck. 14:20. Southend, east. Level 1. Excavation works for the large pipe runs to the Cooling Tower. Shiny top of pipe just visible. 15:28. Westside, north Storage. Bottom left. Red items are plate heat-exchangers. Similar on the plant platform at Cathode. 8 pressure vessels around the place. 15:50. GA, road. Lots of people. Trial evacuation? 16:24. Plastics, apron. Pellet delivery. Nothing for weeks, then every second video. 16:53. Casting, east. Apron. One large, one small collector hood. 17:11. BIW, apron. Sorting through the castings. Suggests these aren’t necessarily good for production.
Thanks for clarifying the path to the EOL and my suspicion that the power washing was probably related to the 'rust' or production dust sticking to the SS. Although, the old exit for the Cybertruck was going thought the extension construction for a while and Joe seemed to think the washing was related to onsite dirt, but that doesn't make sense if the MY isn't getting washed.
@@bigtvjunky9119 I would guess that the need for washing will be ongoing. The current arrangement clearly temporary. Maybe in future this will be done inside the EOL building in a booth.
Dessie 2:26 - maybe more need to check they are watertight? Not painted hence not as clean? It is interesting. Maybe one of our pilots/factory workers can give us some gossip.
Thanks Brad! EOL facility: @ 7:28 Flushing out the new water main. River road: @ 7:44 and 14:25 Utility crew working on the transmission lines. South expansion: @ 8:52 Attaching glass panels to the parapet wall @ 10:18 Can't see clearly. It isn't the TBM, but is there a large piece of equipment further back in the tunnel alignment? @ 10:38 (Bottom) New trench being excavated. Parking garage: @ 13:00 Roads graded around the building. Cooling structure: @ 13:47 Crew erecting the frame on the south end of the structure. Stacks of fan shroud segments on top of the cooling structure. The white tubular structures across the cut outs of the large circles are "torque tubes" that will support the fan gearbox, driveshaft and fan motor (gearbox in the center, fan motor towards the outside) New power supply to the building: @ 16:29 (Top left) Trenches across parking lot for the new duct-banks. @ 16:39 (Bottom) Concrete poured around vault. @ 17:09 Crew working on the rooftop cable trays near the parapet wall. This is the area directly above where the existing main power duct-banks enter the building.
Boring tunnel. Conveyor cassette raised over 0.5m, lots of spoil in the spoil bin, segment stacks being used up fast. Looks like a good couple of days progress for the TBM. No sign of it surfacing outside the building, but the segments are running out. Could it be near surface inside the building? Heavy loader parked outside the building near where it is likely to surface. Would be good to get a low shot looking inside the building
Hi David, I have a question.... How much would it cost per mile to build a 12' diameter tunnel? I ask because I keep seeing comments suggesting that they build a tunnel to the rail yard. And of course that doesn't even consider the problem of acquiring right of way or easements. Thanks.
@@DavidJohnson-tv2nn A lot of variables, but as TBC showed in Vegas. They spent US$52M (originally 48 but there were some additional works claims paid) on 1.7Km of tunnel with a small box station and two taxi ranks. Allowing say US$7M for the stations you have US$ 45M for just over a mile of 12' tunnel. With a longer distance and some economies of scale that could come down by maybe 10-20%. So say US$40M per mile. Bur why tunnel when there are few surface constraints and a perfectly good highway.
@@davidsalisbury50 Thanks. I estimated about $50 million per mile, but without thinking about the stations. And of course immediately got some of the Tesla/Boring company fans saying "you didn't consider the cost of the stations". Which is why I want to hear from someone who is an expert in tunnels. On the usefulness of a tunnel to the rail yard.... My point exactly. Why tunnel when there are few surface constraints and a perfectly good highway? The highway itself makes it unnecessary for any further infrastructure buildout. It is truly amazing how many otherwise intelligent people follow rather than think things through. There is no need for a costly tunnel. But because Musk owns the Boring company, they would like to see tunnels everywhere. By the way, I'm a big fan of tunnels. But there are places and circumstances that call for tunnels. Building tunnels without good reason is like building a bridge over flat dry land. Boring company.... Would I be correct in saying that so far, they don't have a product that anyone really needs? I'm referring of course to the 12' diameter tunnel. Pretty much useless for public roads or highways, pretty much useless for trains. Maybe some use for pedestrians, utilities, and material transport between buildings. But I can't think of anything else. In my opinion... The Los Vegas Loop with chauffeur driven taxicab Tesla's is not very useful. Not to mention safety concerns if there should be an EV fire in the small confined tunnel!
Did I miss the Model Y exit from the factory? I'm curious if they power wash the Cybertruck because of the reported "rust" / dust problem with SS or if it has to do with the path to the EOL facility that the Cybertruck takes versus the MY.
The flight path, pauses and transitions just get better with every video. You hit all the sights on the site. Best flyer award goes to Brad!
Thanks
I see Americans working, earning money allowing them to care for their families. Thank you Elon and team!!!!❤❤❤
😅🤣😂 .. until Elon treats them like 💩 and lays them off.
Ok I’ll guess we’ll see after the layoffs and the bots takeover
Great drone work and good music.
Thanks Brad

@@benguthrie49 2:26. You may have hit the nail on the head. All along I assumed the Cybertrucks were being washed.
Thank you Mr. Sloan!

@@DessieDoolan Thanks!
Great video. As shown at 2.22, why don't we have a purpose-built car wash system?
Sanitary sewer not connected yet. Water supply may not be commissioned either. See 7:56.
Thank you!
Apologies to Dessie and Big Tv Junky. I deleted the thread about the drainage excavation. Dumb idea on my part!
All my good work!😭

Had the same thought.
Why build a 400000 sf building then put up ten tents outside?
It supports the build inside the permanent structure. The tents are the best design for temporary structures.
Tesla Gigafactory .. where 💩💩💩 will be made !
But who’s buying?
With current rate of ramp up, I expect my preorder to be delivered in 2-3 years. My spot in line is about 800K of 2M.
Not me 😂
