    0:08. Southend, south. Terraces hydroseeded.
    0:45. Southend, west. Glazing installation. Small items on the vertical joint are alignment clamps. Block of timber each side of the joint, with a screw, bolt, or long cable tie holding the blocks together, and thereby pulling adjacent glass surfaces into alignment. Once the joint caulking has cured the blocks are removed.
    1:05. GA, loading platform. Stack of beams on the apron ready to be hoisted.
    3:27. Cyber Circle, pipeline works. Busy working on the dog-leg in the existing pipeline.
    3:48. River Road, pipeline works. Previously abandoned pipeline in the south wall of the excavation.
    6:37. Battery, north. Roller conveyor sections being hoisted to Level 3. Might be battery pack size.
    Or are they being removed? See 10:24.
    7:35. Casting, diagonal corner. Loading platform. Laying a sheet steel surface over the plywood deck.
    7:50. Casting, east. Apron. Furnace tender vehicle gone.
    8:46. Casting, east. Baghouse. Flexible black hoses now supported on ladder racking.
    9:12. Switchyard/substation. Drilling rig has bored 2 large diameter pile shafts. 4’ 1.2m approx.
    10:24. EOL, North-South road. Top. Same truck and trailer from 6:37.
    12:40. Westside, Tunnel Project. Road panels installed, grouted, and fixed into place.
    15:20. EOL, transport yard. Model Ys. Equipment frames, camera or sensor on 4 sides.

    Lidar mounts? Useful for calibrating distances for FSD training.

    • @meli66ajg
      @meli66ajg หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Yes I bet that's it. The self-driving Waymo cars around Austin have that on top. I think Tesla uses its own method--not Lidar--for FSD. It's made from collected photos of all the roads from all the Teslas out there and constantly updated. They say it's better than Lidar.

      @@meli66ajg Only reason tesla does not use lidar is that musk refused to pay a licence to use them on every car, if he had tesla would have had full autonomous driving 7 years ago. The system tesla is using is semi self manufactured, the only problem is the data transfer rate is high and needs a strong signal at all times. Maybe every tesla can have Starlink panels.

    Rooftop cable trays, north end:
    @ 7:34 Finishing up work on a temporary loading platform for cable spools. Which will allow them to finish the cable runs along the cable trays on the north end.
    The cables will go from 8:12 (Bottom right) to 7:27 (Bottom right).
    Substation expansion project:
    @ 9:10 Concrete pour is complete for 6 footings to support a 345 kV switch structure.
    Drill rig now drilling 4 holes for footings to support an A-frame tower. Rebar cages are along the fence.
    @ 9:27 (Right side) New switches are now connected to the new circuit breakers.
    Existing 345 kV switches (Middle) are likely to be connected next.

      Do you think Tesla is cornering the market for transformers?

    • @DavidJohnson-tv2nn
      @DavidJohnson-tv2nn หลายเดือนก่อน

      I may end up being completely wrong but it is possible theses transformers are simply being stored at the site and may be intended for a future Megapack project/s elsewhere in the area. I don't see the need for a total of 173 transformers rated at 4.8 MW (assuming both batches of transformers have similar ratings). 173 x 4.8 = 830 MW!

Two of the most advanced fighter aircraft, the F-22 and F-35 use sensor fusion. Which automatically analyzes data from sensors embedded throughout the jet and merges it into relevant information for pilots. This gives the pilots an integrated, intuitive view of their surroundings.

      @@DavidJohnson-tv2nn Are you nuts? LIDAR in a fighter jet??? All of the existing users of EV LIDAR have extensive pre route mapping and remote operators. All of them lose $$$ by the boatload. So a $100 million fighter jet, WITHOUT LIDAR, is analogous to an EV? What is the frame rate and pixel density of the best LIDAR on any EV? You simply have no idea of the technology or what your talking about, as usual.

      Paint is by roller application. Masking off the windows a minor part of the works.
      Panel joints need to be caulked also, and then painted over.
