The time and effort involved in following Joe Tegtmeyer's coverage of Giga Texas and those multiple others with Shanghai, Berlin and Mexico on the construction and continuing refinement / enhancement of the factory is a HUGE undertaking on your part and does not go unnoticed or unappreciated! Thank You!
Just a heads up. Go to the county's government office building that issues building permits and you can request to look at the architects' project plans. They should be available for public viewing. You can't take them out but they should allow you to review them.
2:57. Dumping earth into the excavation to back-fill above the concrete footings. 6:32 also. 'Large square things with tubular things sticking out'. Centre right throwing the long shadows, are the column hold down bolts arranged on a plywood board to allow exact location within the rebar cage. Centre and to the left is formwork shuttering (grey plywood backed with lengths of timbers). These 2 column pedestals evidently to be built taller. 3:28. 'little wings' were ramps for access as the footing was being constructed. To also be back-filled. 4:18. Centre. Piles of earth with a trench. Adding water to the earth to make it more suitable for back-filling the deep footing excavations.
Thanks for these updates. I really think we need to hear more about charging networks right now to believe NA sales can hit 50k in any reasonable amount of time.
Good point. I would like to see the megacharger network built-out and see it as a proxy for how soon tesla semi’s will be doing long-haul routes. I will say that there is a significant segment of logistics that can follow the PepsiCo model and have trucks returning daily to recharge. thanks for your comment.
The higher section on the south side suggests a stacker crane warehouse. Automated vertical parts storage. Large freezer warehouses at minus 20 deg F are filled with these systems because people can't work in them.
Cold stores generally have the racks shuffling up. The whole rack will move left or right, with only capacity for 1 or 2 fork lift trucks, on each side of a central in/out conveyor. The idea is to maximize cold product density. I installed and commissioned one of these conveyors.
Thanks for your dedication! Can you tell me what the two bare pads where you launch from are owned by Tesla. If not, what is expecting to be built on that site?
Those are not owned by Tesla and will be a twins to all the other warehouses in the neighborhood including the Tesla semi pilot production line at 550 Milan Ave. Most of these are used as distribution/fulfillment centers. Im guessing they are waiting for a lease contract before they build.
The building is just a cover to keep the production line/equipment warm, dry , clean. This is all about a set of heavy equipment built for a specific purpose.
This is a joke post right? Just ask PepsiCo why they are now expanding to about 100 Semis. They are extremely pleased with the economic benefits from their testing. Saving money talks.

What Giga Mexico videos are you referring to?

Very impressive. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!

Cheers Zanegler, interesting update. As always, many thanks for your time and effort!
My pleasure!
Thanks

What you call 'supports' are actually referred to as 'braces.' Yes, they support the columns but they are also used to 'plumb' the columns.
Thank you!
Wings are just access ramps for excavation and rebar placement.
Thanks - Appreciate these vids and the staggering progress - Imagine in 6 months!
@3:50 The side (diagonal) trenches are just access "stairs" for the workers to go up and down into the pits. Seen them a giga Austin for pipes.
🙋♂️THX ZANEGLER 😎💚💚💚
@3:35 I wonder if the long ramps might be for getting people and stuff in and out of those pits.

There a re many, many YT videos of all types of stacker cranes in warehouses.
Love these types of comments. They really help give us ideas that we can check as progress continues b
that is going to be a big freaking building
Muchas gracias por el video, como siempre super interesante y entretenido con la futura fabrica de Tesla, saludos desde Malaga España

are the trenching anything to do with gigapress…. architecture…..
The large pits could be there to support Giga Press
Do you know why they have not poured the slab yet?
Awaiting in-ground utilities.
Does anyone knows, other biulding has never finished now, building another one next to it ??
There’s plans to finish the larger, earlier one too. 4680 production mostly and of course to finish the solar panel roof installation.
The building is just a cover to keep the production line/equipment warm, dry , clean. This is all about a set of heavy equipment built for a specific purpose.
These overviews does not convey the size until porportion the the vehicles
They are likely machinery mounts
Maybe Tesla will stamp the frame rails for all the different variants of Semi
50,000 Tesla semis a year? Nobody wants them.
I want them delivering to the supermarket near me so I don't here diesel trucks all night.
Why build them then?
Actually an increasing number of people want them and fewer and fewer want noisy, polluting, inconvenient internal combustion vehicles.
The worlds most bought car, Model Y, had similar predictions. Tesla Semi will soon become the worlds most bought Semi.
This is a joke post right? Just ask PepsiCo why they are now expanding to about 100 Semis. They are extremely pleased with the economic benefits from their testing. Saving money talks.
