@@boostav I think it is highly likely that this is the early stage of construction on the expansion. However.... We can't know for sure until we see drilling rigs for concrete piles or geo-piers, or excavations for footings. Or the delivery of materials such as steel columns and beams.
I could be wrong but it appears to be early stages of construction of a structure. 1) There are the stacks of green sanitary sewer pipe. 2) Conduit in trenches. Not necessary for the trenches to connect if there is going to be a structure above. For example, there can be a power source such as an electrical panel with conduit going out to various load points. Or... From the conduit risers coming out of the ground, going out into above ground conduit or cable trays inside a building.
There is a major difference between GN and GT regarding the production of cathode films that will be rolled into battery cells (with the anode films as well of course): - GN uses the conventional "wet" process using a liquid chemical to deposit the active ingredients mix (Ni, Li etc) onto the Aluminum cathode films with subsequent vaporization and removal of the carrier-chemical. - GT is using a new "dry" process using a dough-like substance that contains all the active ingredients and that can be rolled and baked directly onto the film. That (nasty) chemical used in the wet process cannot be discharged into the environment and must be recovered for re-purification and recycling. And that is the telltale difference that can be spotted: at 7:50 you see two distillation columns (in the white tall structure) which are for stripping and purification of the chemical. Further, I don't think that Lithium arrives at GN as Lithium Carbonate. That would require a large watery slurry process to get rid of the Carbonate (best done outside) and create a large mountain of solid waste. Neither seem to be around. Info from Joe's video's is indeed very good comparison material, but don't under estimate what you can do for Joe in return. One suggestion: the solar arrays on the roof at GN are definitely online and if you could make a comprehensive close-up then Joe has a reference for how a completed array looks like, with lots of cabling converters optimizers lightning protection etc. A lot of viewers ask Joe whether the GT solar is on line.
I've watched Giga Tx being built since it's inception. The little bit of scratching around in the corner there may be some power cable conduit. Impossible to say tho. It's perplexing since I would think the semi is in demand... Big corporations buying semi trucks don't care as much about interest rates. Berlin and Austin are sucking up a lot of capitol right now, probably scared management. That is one huge warehouse on wheels there! Thanks for the flight and commentary!.
Construction here could go a lot faster than in Texas if the soil conditions are more favorable. The process should be the same as the first building sections, how long did that take?
GN Panasonic would buy Lithium Hydroxide and the other components for the cells. It would not make precursor materials at GN. Cathode and anode making requires a lot of heat - all those coolers are for heat recycling. The drainage works are likely for the factory extension. They are being done before piers and footings like GT. In my view you have captured early expansion works.
This is not Tesla's biggest problem. If Tesla does not reinvent the car finance system, there will be Big Trouble ahead. With a $30trillion national debt, high interest rates are here to stay!
@ 4:28 Electrical conduit in the trenches.
@ 5:01 Stacks of green sanitary sewer pipe.
Do you think this is the start of the expansion?

FOLLOW EVERY SINGLE YOU TUBER EVERY DAY !!! THIS IS THE PRODUCT THAT MOST EXCITES ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks a little like some Giga future internal plumbing outlets seen in recent builds.
The new trenches look promising!
OH BY THE WAY EXCELLENT FLY OVER AND COMMENTARY !!!! THANKS FOR SHARING
That green pipe is sanitary water supply pipe.

If it has started, you are going to get a lot more subscribers and views. Thanks for the video...

THANKS 🤗 ZANEGLER,FOR THE VIDEO…SORRY,NO GUESSES 🤷♂️ 💚💚💚
These are not culverts, this is Elon trying to send a message to his home planet.
THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING LOL JUST LIKE EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPHS
Thanks you fro video, fantastic, from Spain
Thank you for your work keep at it 😎
Hello 👋 I'm a maintenance technician with Panasonic in the Nevada Gigafactory and they told us it's a new parking lot with tesla chargers.
NO YOU'RE NOT AND IT IS NOT WHAT YOU SAY IT IS !!! QUIT LYING TO YOURSELF AND THE WORLD. GOD IS WATCHING
Pace and size of buildout in Nevada is restrained by lack of people I believe
Thanks for the footage! Hoping the expansion accelerates.

Is the commentator in this video is Jim Keller?
Wonder if you have a part 107 to be doing this. @FAA #RID
Looks like treller hoarding.
