It did not occur to me right away (a couple days ago), but just now I realized a great way to test the CyberCab is to use them to get people around the Giga Texas site, just as if they were hailing one downtown. Also, later, Giga Texas (and other Tesla sites) could have an employee test-commute program they could sign up for to get free rides (again, to get more data), once off-site autonomous operation approved. A cybercab could pick up a couple employees working the same shift who live on the same route to work, for example, and the rides could be reserved for the trip home at the same time.
The new Idra casting machine maybe for the Semi factory in Nevada. They are putting the main foundations for the casting machines as we speak. Watching Zengler's videos it won't be long before they are ready to start installing some of the production equipment.
Stamping press footing in Nevada. There's no subterranean chambers for gigapress footings. Gigapress footing are simply heavily reinforced slabs. The footings here at GT have a cast-in steel mounting base for the 6000t machines. The 9000t machines sit directly on the floor on a more heavily reinforced slab.

Hey Joe. It seems to me, like the expanding of the production capasity is still going on in Tesla speed. Tesla have chosen to make that happen although the demand curve for the present models are somehow flattening out. In my imagination, it can only mean, we can expect an explosion in demand and production, when Elon put the pedal to the metal, and reveals the more affordable model Qs, matching much better for the narrow european roads, and pricepoint than the larger MS and M3. My definition of luck is, when preparation meets opportunity. What a ride it will be. Silence before the storm. Keep up the great work Captain Joe. Per in Denmark. 😎🇩🇰
That area of construction on the west side, near the current Model Y exit, is probably the new tunnel entrance for Y production. The look of it is very similar to the tunnel exit across the road.
The FSD testers are mentioning that the advanced planning being better and more predictive. I wonder if they included in the learing program a chess game program as part of the NN learning??? "Want to play a game"?
The small electrical building appears to be some high power electrical equipment for a very large LED sign thaat will be placed on the 8 sona duct tubing footings behind it. Also lighting for the tunnel exit and road.
My guess is that the pipeline easement caused a change in plans. The electrical equipment pad was moved forward to its present position. The 8 sona tubes behind will likely be demolished. The electrical equipment is likely for support of lighting, fire alarm, and other equipment in the tunnel.
27:10 - 27:25 There appears to be two rows of evenly spaced vertical rods on the roof of the cathode building running parallel to the east and west side, several feet further from the edge than the traffic cones and rope that are also there. My first thought was lightning rods, as there does seem to be a cable between them at their bases, but I thought those would be along the edges and at the corners. Also, nothing similar seems to be on the roof of any of the other buildings. Any idea what they might be? On today’s video, the drone altitude and sun angle make them more easily visible, and watching with a large display helps too.
@@DessieDoolan Thanks, I do see some on that old video after a few replays, and then looked more closely at Jeff’s last video a few days ago, since he always ends with that low S-N flyby, and noticed more mixed in with the solar panels. I still don’t see any in the open areas, but since they are often not visible due to angle and lighting, and you regularly provide so much detailed commentary, I’ll take your word that they’re there. What threw me off is that the ones on the cathode roof are a little taller than the porta-potty that’s up there, while the ones I see on the main building are much shorter.
@@Frank-gt7me The main building roof is covered with them. All along behind the parapet walls for example. Maybe not at the Southend yet. Lightning must be a big problem in Texas.
@@DessieDoolan We really don't get that much, at least nothing like what I recall as a kid on the Florida east coast. Maybe when a factory is this big you become the size of a typical lightning strike area of probability? You're going to get hit, so you'd better be able to take it? I'm sure someone has a degree in it.
@@scottgaree7667 I'm not a local (Melbourne Australia), lightning protection I only ever see on masts, spires etc. I don't think I've seen such a system on a regular roof. Granted GT is a massive building, maybe that makes a difference.
To set up a GigaPress inside the DIE shop for testing and development is one thing, but mass-production of casts there? It would need the entire infrastructure with melting-, holding- and injection-furnaces/crucibles, facilities for the rapid cooling innovation plus all the environmental controls that have been added to the Casting section recently. If it is indeed being installed in the DIE shop then it could be a huge investment in stretching the technical envelope for the next generation model(s) via small series of hot tests. Maybe they are going to test new alloys with Magnesium and develop/tweak new Die's for that, all under one roof.
@ My guess would also be Tesla testing prototype forms with the 6000t or 9000t if true. Wishful thinking, but perhaps a casting of complete sides of vehicles that would hook up with the front and rear castings, reducing the stamping parts and further shortening the assembly line inside the main factory.🤷♂️
Thanks, Joe. The Testing and Calibration Lot, the Outbound Lot, The End Of Line Facility. Sort of confusing to me is how they fit into the work flow of the assembly line. The old Testing and Calibration Lot was replaced by the End Of Line Facility? Because the old Testing And Calibration Lot had the track with rumble strips that the EVs had to go over, but now that was replaced by the track on the west side of the End Of Line Facility. But Joe said that they used the old Testing and Calibration Lot for a holding lot until some things are taken care of. I'm trying to resolve the uncertainty I've had. Thanks for any help. One other thought. They plan on another Boring tunnel under the Hwy 130 further north of the existing tunnel. I'm wondering if this is going to be a one way from East to West like the existing tunnel.
You have not filmed low enough on the south side of the extension to see in the drive that goes into the stamping area and tunnel entrance. It is likely that the model Y's will still exit and drive annoimusly on the north side of the plant and drive along the upper level road in front of the glass wall to re-enter on so the south side to access the tunnel. The entrance on the south side of the extension can be seen if you fly low along the east end of the cooling plant, looking at the extension you will see the black metal window mounts over the top of the entrance. The new ramp on the north side may be a grand exit for the model Y, Q and cybercab.
Provided the north-south road generally slopes away from the ramp into the tunnel, it's only rain falling on the ramp that needs to be dealt with. There's a grate drain across the tunnel entrance, and sumps deeper in the tunnel. There is also a vertical slot saw-cut into the retaining wall each side. Small posts mounted above. A door/gate of some description. Could quite possibly be engineered to operate as a flood gate for extreme rain events.
Sounds like they are installing a gigacast machine in the die shop to test them before sending them across to the factory or off to Fremont. Battery deliveries are likely for Model Y - send from Giga Nevada. Perhaps no space near the MY line to store them and breakdown the boxes. Looks like they must be loaded-on and removed-from the trucks side-on, thus we see the unloading in the open.
ty joe..cyberhole/new building needs overhangs and troughts..just pointing out yes overhang drippy egdes and never forget water can be sucked up hill...in warm/cold transition..up seep isn't rocket sci either

Just a guess, but I think Fire Dept regs may require paved access to that area surrounding the south end of the building considering the manufacturing etc activity inside the plant...
@@danawoodbury7106 Yes, I agree but it doesn't have to be an ugly asphalt road. It could be a landscaped walkway or plaza wide enough for emergency vehicles. But paved with brick pavers or some other nice looking material, and wide enough for tables, benches, planters off to the side. As well as open landscaped areas by the glass. It doesn't have to be ugly. But unfortunately, if you look at all the areas surrounding all the buildings, all these designers seem to know is pavement! They could learn a lot from the Berlin design.
@@DavidJohnson-tv2nn yah. Giga Berlin is beautiful in comparison. Even the employee parking has trees between the rows of parking. I assume Germany requires such things.
@@swparsons I agree completely, very good point. Unfortunately, Texas is run by a political party that doesn't want to regulate businesses and we see the result. We need regulations because big corporations won't do the right thing if it doesn't add directly to their profits. Of course it is very short sighted, because creating a nice work environment benefits the company in the long term. Very sad to see the comparison between Giga Texas and Giga Berlin.
@@DavidJohnson-tv2nn I'd not like to sit inside the building right by the asphalt road, wondering when some errant driver was going to steer their vehicle through the glass wall into my lap. Protection against that would require many, many bollards the length of the south extension which would ruin the look even more.
Curious what all goes into that steel structure around the birthing tunnel. If just steel structure and outer facade, curious why it's taking a week to erect. (they're normally lightning fast, so I'm assuming it's more complicated than that?)
Thanks for all your work Joe. It Looks like they might need a drainage grate at the entrance of the tunnel. They may already have it. Could you take a closer look at the entrance.
I've not heard what battery chemistry but imagine LFP because of the higher cycle rate compared to NMC type turnery batteries such as their proprietary 4680 cell being produced in GT.
11:02 looks like these cars will soon be able to drive themselves over to the other lot. Thats gonna save so much time. Ppl not taking these little things into account. Tesla is so far ahead
Para você Joe Tegtmeyer seu canal e seus vídeos no TH-cam são ótimos para o mundo moderno e para o futuro é no que acredito mas também no interior ❤❤❤❤uma boa noite de quarta feira dia 11 de dezembro de 2024 horas 21:45 🕓.
Cheers mate. The Cybertunnel exit frame looks to be overengineered to me. Granted they may have just used what was at hand but c'mon, the yard is not short of all manner of materials.
Elon said it would be possible to build the next model (the cybercap) at GigaTexas with the existing production line. But with all the equipment that Joe Tegtmeyer shows us is waiting to go into the main building, it kind of looks like they will have to build a new production line. Did Elon lie to shareholders?
You simply did not understand what you heard. There will be 1 or 2 new vehicles based on the Model 3 and Model Y but smaller and these will use the existing production lines. The Cybercab is different and will have it's own production line built out in the 1st half of 2025 and production starting in the second half. All of this is very consistent with what Tesla has said and I've discussed. I recommend you avoid making silly insinuations without understanding the context of what you speak about.
When they say the robot is "blind" I think they mean it's not looking at its feet. If it wasn't using vision it would have trouble walking around trees.
Yes it was totally blind…not using any vision…only using sensors…that video was amazing to watch…there are some really smart people in this world that can make this happen…I wish I was 20 again to be able to witness these robots in the future and if I could afford one I would definitely buy one to do my laundry haha…
You are entirely correct in that it has to be using a sensor of some type of which one is called vision because it is within our optical range. That being said it's very impressive. Gyro, really fast actuators, and top end software... good to go.
I see great potential in Elon Musk's projects, I believe in his engineering genius, in particular, I admire the FSD 13.2 autonomous driving system, which will bury Waymo as soon as it goes into mass production. Although I do not express explicit support for Elon Musk, I have always been on his side and hope that in the future we will join forces and create something that will revolutionize and lift humanity to unprecedented heights. Hopefully, Mark Zuckerberg will join us soon to integrate his tech giant into our great future project. Sincerely, Jeff Bezos.
Cybertaxi production will begin for who? Taxi companies? Private individuals who think they are going to operate a ride hailing business autonomously? I would love to be present when they apply for their livery license. !

Thanks for all your work Joe. It Looks like they might need a drainage grate at the entrance of the tunnel. They may already have it. Could you take a closer look at the entrance.
There is a grate drain across the bottom of the ramp.
Need to see Optimus catching a lift
Might the new gigapress from IDRA be for the semi in Nevada?
Seems odd for sure. Wonder if perhaps they have developed a V2 of some sort but could very well be for NV.

That cybercab looks tiny compared to the model 3 which isn’t a big car itself. It’s going to have insane efficiency.
I've not heard what battery chemistry but imagine LFP because of the higher cycle rate compared to NMC type turnery batteries such as their proprietary 4680 cell being produced in GT.
What protects those sensors from getting mud or dirty water on them? Are they all inside the car?
I do not believe those are handicap ramps..looks like cyber berms… but I’m just guessing…. Thanks Joe
Thanks Michael ... I'm really interested in finding out for ware what these are and how they will be used if they are not access ramps.
11:02 looks like these cars will soon be able to drive themselves over to the other lot. Thats gonna save so much time. Ppl not taking these little things into account. Tesla is so far ahead
Giga, Giga, Giga ........ everything?
@JoeTegtemeyer Do you know if Tesla Cell 1 building (~600k s.f.) is complete?
Para você Joe Tegtmeyer seu canal e seus vídeos no TH-cam são ótimos para o mundo moderno e para o futuro é no que acredito mas também no interior ❤❤❤❤uma boa noite de quarta feira dia 11 de dezembro de 2024 horas 21:45 🕓.
Cheers mate. The Cybertunnel exit frame looks to be overengineered to me. Granted they may have just used what was at hand but c'mon, the yard is not short of all manner of materials.
Any chance of Elon putting up Solar and/or Wind farms on some of the open space once major construction is complete ?
Elon said it would be possible to build the next model (the cybercap) at GigaTexas with the existing production line. But with all the equipment that Joe Tegtmeyer shows us is waiting to go into the main building, it kind of looks like they will have to build a new production line. Did Elon lie to shareholders?
You simply did not understand what you heard. There will be 1 or 2 new vehicles based on the Model 3 and Model Y but smaller and these will use the existing production lines. The Cybercab is different and will have it's own production line built out in the 1st half of 2025 and production starting in the second half. All of this is very consistent with what Tesla has said and I've discussed. I recommend you avoid making silly insinuations without understanding the context of what you speak about.

Another 9T press...
When they say the robot is "blind" I think they mean it's not looking at its feet. If it wasn't using vision it would have trouble walking around trees.
It did not have vision activated
Yes it was totally blind…not using any vision…only using sensors…that video was amazing to watch…there are some really smart people in this world that can make this happen…I wish I was 20 again to be able to witness these robots in the future and if I could afford one I would definitely buy one to do my laundry haha…
You are entirely correct in that it has to be using a sensor of some type of which one is called vision because it is within our optical range. That being said it's very impressive. Gyro, really fast actuators, and top end software... good to go.
I see great potential in Elon Musk's projects, I believe in his engineering genius, in particular, I admire the FSD 13.2 autonomous driving system, which will bury Waymo as soon as it goes into mass production. Although I do not express explicit support for Elon Musk, I have always been on his side and hope that in the future we will join forces and create something that will revolutionize and lift humanity to unprecedented heights. Hopefully, Mark Zuckerberg will join us soon to integrate his tech giant into our great future project. Sincerely, Jeff Bezos.
lol
Cybertaxi production will begin for who? Taxi companies? Private individuals who think they are going to operate a ride hailing business autonomously? I would love to be present when they apply for their livery license.

1st
Grade.
Cyber this, cyber that....... starting to sound a bit cyber pathetic
The hype never ends.
Can you NOT Substitute Vocals for Visual Dialogue?
like 666..sry joe..devil in me i guess
Thanks Joe!
