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.

Thanks Bad! Rooftop cable trays, north end: @ 7:34 Finishing up work on a temporary loading platform for cable spools.

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!

I know common sense hasn't really gone into the construction of Giga Texas but surely it would've made sense to spray paint the panels white on the south extension before installing the glass to save them having to cover them all with tarps...

@@memrjohnno I'm still speculating the building will see vehicles. The ramps either end are otherwise wasted space if not for vehicle access.
Thanks Brad
Great video as usual. I'm wondering what kind of racks those are on the new cars being unloaded out of the fancy car transport?
Lidar mounts? Useful for calibrating distances for FSD training.

Sounds about right

Do you think Tesla is cornering the market for transformers?

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!
Rooftop framework for 3D mapping of the future FSD tunnel route?
I had the same thought, then wondered why they would need 3.
Perhaps mapping out the whole site?
Merci👍👍👍
Cheers mate.
Perhaps càlibrated mounting for surveillance/mapping for the autonomous fantasy?
I would guess that rooftop framework is for mounting sensors.
The only sensors I can think of would be developing FSD.
!
.38 I heard.
I don't know if Joe Tegtmeyer has discussed these mounts yet. Did anyone see him do a video about them?
Roof racks for taxi testing?
Transformer count has increased.
@ 13:56 Now at 101.
LIDAR for developing FSD. Will never be used in the final product
Refusing to use LIDAR will be the downfall of Tesla's FSD. Everyone else uses it for a good reason.
@@DavidJohnson-tv2nn Correction: "...for a bad reason" They're slow, and very low resolution, and also expensive. Other than that they look ridiculous.
@@shazam6274 They don't have to look ridiculous. Remember when Teslas had Lidar? They were no more visible than the cameras. They just cost a bit.

Were those next gen Model Ys?

Good video.
Terrible music 😂
I know common sense hasn't really gone into the construction of Giga Texas but surely it would've made sense to spray paint the panels white on the south extension before installing the glass to save them having to cover them all with tarps...
Perhaps they need the window sealant to go directly to the raw concrete for a more durable bond.
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.
