- A little slow today. No carriers were being loaded during my flight. Still plenty busy at the south extension.

Thanks Brad
0:29. Westside, south storage. Left. Stack of stainless steel fabricated pipework. Rejects/unused perhaps. Some ends visibly open.
1:29. Westside, storage. Right. Baghouse short flue/ducting sections.
Group of 3 what would likely be valves/dampers. Another by itself towards the bottom.
1:54. Westside, storage. Left. 22 white cabinets. Electrical possibly. Look like cooling fins on the left side, not unlike the green transformers seen around the site.
4:34. EOL Superchargers. Right. Works at one of the street lightpole locations.
5:58. EOL Transport Yard. Top left. Cybertrucks. Tailgate missing.
7:29. Westside, Tunnel Project. Invert Slabs (road decks). Grout filled between the slab and tunnel liner. Bracket holding the slabs in place will disappear under the asphalt surface.
9:15. Southend, south. West Fire Escape Passage. Set-down in floor in front of the grate drain. Can’t imagine what that’s for. Same at 10:05.
9:38. Southend, south. Central Fire Escape. Roof formwork decking placed.
10:53. Southend, Cooling Tower. RIght. Pipe removed from the saddles.
Installing framework on the face of the cooling tower. Pipe supports perhaps.
Bottom right. Stormwater drain works.
11:33. Southend, east. Level 1. Best view yet of the large pipes atop the heavily braced mezzanine floor. Unpainted beams installed to the right for another section of floor. An example of where all the steel stacked across the highway ends up.
13:20. Cyber Circle (or Circuit), the perimeter road around the factory. Thanks Brad!
13:44. BIW, roof. Chiller plant. Black slabs of what might be a filter media, or a fill media like in the Southend Cooling Tower.
The white cabinets I believe are transformers. You need to step down the voltage on the incoming wires to something that can feed the computers and UPS system, and probably all of the pumps.
@@haroldz9915 Thanks for the confirmation!
The transformers at the BESS installation are very similar. See Brad's 30 March video at 0.20 for example.
@@DessieDoolan Did you see the street sign?
@@BTSflyer Thanks. Yes I did, 13:20. I assume it being Circle, the entire perimeter road is Cyber Circle.
@@DessieDoolan Yep the white cabinets @ 1:54 are transformers and the number of them (22) is about right. The new duct-banks from the substation to the building have a capacity for 24 three-phase circuits (assuming one circuit per conduit). Good catch! Of course, I completely missed it because I skip over the ugly material storage areas. 😊
Thanks Brad
Good Show. I particularly like the landing!
Thanks!
Big Thank you for supporting this channel!!!
Is this the first view of the brackets holding the tunnel roadway panels in place? 7:30
7:30. Yes it is. I'm sure I saw these in one of the other TBC videos. Could never find it again.
These should disappear under an asphalt road surface. Not visible in Jeff's Las Vegas tunnel drive through for example.
Thank you!
Merci👍👍👍
If i remember correctly the boring company posted that they would get the tunnel into use in July but it looks like that it has not worked according to plan.
Boring company X post from July 10 : Prufrock-3 has emerged in the @Tesla Giga Texas expansion! Cybertunnel will be online in July.
We can see this in a positive light, in the sense that TBC could have finished their part by end July. But obviously there are higher powers at work in this complex construction area. I can see several bears on the road, such as the south extension project needing to clear the area around the inside tunnel terminal. Has not happened yet. Then the power-, the control- , the emergency systems all need to be operational. And what else must be done for a co-ordinated effort to shift the entire flow of CT's into the tunnel? We have no idea, really. I must say that my initial observation that the concrete floor elements were moving slowly was clearly wrong, because later on the floor elements were going in rapidly. So let us give TBC a bit of credit and thank them for the exciting show they have put up for us!
A further thought: it is known that there is an incredible focus on the production line efficiency; things are measured in seconds for continuous improvements. In such an environment I think a cavalier approach like help-yourself-there-is-the-tunnel-entrance-and-watch-out-for-construction is just not on. No, the tunnel must become an extension in every sense of the word of the highly orchestrated production line(s). That is going to take time. If the big push in production starts say end'24 (4680 ramp) then that seems a good target for the tunnel to be functionally ready and fully part of the production systems.
Not knocking the guy but about everything he projects (or his companies) turns out to be either a bit, substantially or way late. Just get used to it, it's not going to change.
@@lylestavast7652name one thing that is late apart from say the low volume roadster 2.0
Model S and X and Y was on time? Cybertruck two year delay but pandemic and Tesla Austin didn't exist in 2020
Maybe it's FSD ?
July of which year? I think absent the fact that one end of the tunnel is in the middle of a much larger construction site, they might have made July of 24. But with that said, they should have added a large asterisk to that statement.
Why in the world did they make the floors so thick for those tunnels?
