- NO, I DIDN'T GET A SHOT OF THE NEW CYBERTRUCK PROTOTYPE! They've got it inside the factory most likely for "clean" shots, so perhaps later this week, they'll do the "dirty" shots with lots of mud and Texas dirt; so there will be our chance to chase it down!
Tons of solar will be going up at Giga Texas, it's just a question of how much; what percentage of the factory's electrical needs will be fulfilled by the sun? We will find out together! More deliveries today, with a lineup of trucks in the South, and lots of action all over the site, another great day at Giga Texas!

You are our eyes and ears Jeff
Wow, the amount of deliveries is crazy!
I'm glad you were able to fly with the rain. They sealed up with tarps the new opening in the south wall for sloped windows.
8:49 Great view of the solar array mounts
10:25 Scrapping whole bodies
Lot of scrap it seems
@@TheZackrambo That would be expected during pre-production and early production, especially with the Tesla culture of build fast and iterate.
Dude you did it 👏 You went over the dumpster!!!!! Thank you
I CAN ONLY SAY WOW 😊 THANK YOU 👍🌈
Thanks Jeff!
all I want to know is wheres my darn truck come on elon lets goooo.
Insane progress
Merci👍👍👍
Cyberwall=the best wall is no wall!
Pay that!
Oh there will be a wall if they ever decide to expand the freeway or build a frontage road. And guess who will be paying for it? Hint... Tax payors!
I hadn't realized until now, but doesn't GigaTexas appear to have far fewer loading docks for trucks than GigaBerlin, which is full of them?
Seriously chaps my chops that the contractor couldn't be bothered to powerwash the roof before putting up the bifacial solar panels. I mean, it's in the freaking job description of the panel to collect the sunlight bouncing off the roof! Someone call Elon!
Thank you!
I literally work here. Off today though. Super cool seeing it from this perspective
Thanks Jeff. How much rain? Inches, points, or millimetres, I can handle any measure.
1:01. North end. Battery diagonal corner. Tanker beside the pump array. Adding/removing water?
1:09. North end Casting, road. Conduits. Placing some rough formwork to concrete the conduits in.
Paint, right of screen. Very visible in this light, orange hose connection the final leg of the pumpline from the Evaporation Pond back into the building for treatment. From there, anyone’s guess.
1:51. Easement. Recycling bins. Some Model Y BIWs in the bins. Undercoated. 10:25 also.
2:17. South end Stamping. Wall panels placed. Temporary window coverings.
2:16. Stamping Extension. Door openings. Inside seems dry, not much rain, or the roof drains have been connected.
2:58. West side Main Entrance. 15 glazed units to be installed. 5 crates of 3 units each, so enough here. 2 apparently un-opened crates stored across the highway. Hmm.
3:20. West side Battery, apron. Stack of pipes in with the additional pumps.
North west pinch point. Looking more like a 4 lane road than yesterday. (* )
3:57. North end. Conduits. From this point of view, it’s a weird alignment to be taking if the conduits were to be run out to parking area only. Pointing substation-ish direction.
4:51. East pond outfall channel. Left of screen. Doh! Some deer! Some female deer! (Apologies to the Simpsons)
6:58. Evaporation Pond. I wonder what the plan is once it’s emptied.
11:13. Starlink site. 2 un-opened crates of glazing units here.
12:02. South end, new hardstand/apron area. The line between dirt and gravel is the likely rough location for an east west drain to serve this massive paved area.
12:45. GA roof. West facing PV array. Snippet from a link posted by Joe Tegtmeyer: Recent study reveals some interesting facts. The conventional understanding is that the solar panel facing south (in locations north of the equator) will receive the most sunlight. This is correct to a certain extent however recent studies have proven differently: According to a new study from Pecan Street Research Institute, West-facing rooftop solar panels produced 49 percent more electricity during peak demand compared to south-facing panels [1]. This research was conducted and data was collected from fifty homes in Austin, Texas, which had solar panels installed in different directions. Some homes had only south facing panels, some only west facing panels while some had both.
*Left a space here for someone to insert appropriate outrage. 😑
Interesting study concerning direction of panels, I’ll have to check it out. Thanks Dessie!!
@@peterdog15 In Joe's 23 Jan video, he posted the link under a comment by Daveachuk. I tried putting the link in my comments above, but youtube not happy with me posting links today. 😕
No outrage...lol...but was wondering why the panels aren't on tracking mounts where they can get the best angle all day....
@@charleshaggard4341 Outrage, shouldn't be long now.
Tracking generally only on ground mounted arrays.
The NWS says the airport got 0.11 inches of rain today as of 5 PM local.
Merci beaucoup for sharing this 😁
Great to watch the giant 😊
Thanks Jeff! I still can't believe they haven't buried or re-routed those power lines on the east side of the factory yet.
Same here. Blows my mind.
You obviously haven’t had to deal with power companies.
@@desmondcrosland7884 Tesla is actually a power company. ;)
@@desmondcrosland7884 Fair point, sir.
I would add I would love those lines gone but underground would be the only option as doglegging it would suddenly become an issue for others. Maybe the boring company could solve the issue, but more likely we will all just get use to it.
3:43 Is that a Model Y being driven into the building in the bottom right corner of the screen?
That shot on the other side of the freeway at 11:31 looks like an expansion building, 1/3 of the size of the main factory. Maybe that's the factory that's going to help produce the Model A? If that's the case, it's going to take 1.5 yrs for the factory to be up and running per Troy Teslike's info, but could make sense, since the Model A will probably be first produced in Shanghai.
No such thing as Model A
@@d.stamand Yes there is. It is copyrighted by Ford.
It's for SpaceX Starlink factory.
Tesla advised nearby residents that it would be offices not manufacturing almost a year ago
Anyone know the electrical load of the factory?
looks like another 3-4 weeks before production
March April maybe if they manage to install and test the massive amount of equipment delivered every day. I cannot see them manufacturing for delivery by bringing in millions of parts from freemont, why when they could use that for the model Y line there.
@@AndyAndy-we9pe even that will be tough going
Does anyone know what the expected installed capacity is going to be for the solar roof?
No, but assuming it was going to be filled, you could estimate by square footage.
From a comment a few weeks ago.
Some searching found the ‘Tesla Impact Report 2020’. The report states 3200kW has been installed at Nevada, and the plan was for 24000kW over the whole of the existing building structure. Giga Nevada measures 178500sq.m (Giga Texas 392200sq.m). 24000 into 178500 = 7.43. 1.0kW per 7.43sq.m. Applying that to Giga Texas, 7.43 into 392200 = 52,786kW. A nominal 500w per panel, 104,000 panels! I did another calculation based on PV panel size only, and covering half the roof and came up with 76,000 or something.
@@DessieDoolan Half the roof is more reasonable I think. But thank you. So maybe in the area of 25 MW's. That's impressive.
@@NinetooNine Here's the other calculation based on roof area and panel size alone:
Roof area is 392,000 square metres. Joe has some information in his video about the panels showing there are 2 sizes, a 525-545w panel, and a 480-500w panel, physically size per panel is 2.57 square metres, and 2.34 square metres respectively. Cover half (allowing for roof mounted plant, ducts, vents, flues, and access to the panels) the roof with panels and there's space up there for 83,760 of the smaller panels. What each panel could generate per day is for someone else to work out (orientation unknown yet).
So what's going on with the south end? some were saying parking lot, but the area they just starting grading is shaped like its going to be the footprint of a building extension. i know we saw documents suggesting that at one point.
Looks like an extension.
No footings to support a building, no concrete pilings to support the footings, and the site plan shows the grade sloping to the south.
Musk said they could eventually extend the building by 500 feet, He never said they would or if they were going to when. No builder would ever lay the concrete flooring of a building before the foundations or support infrastructure was installed, like with the rest of the factory. There is no southern building planned and the clearing is for s large carpark to stage new cars for delivery. Watch a shanghai video to see how tesla do it.
The drawing titled Overall Site Plan B that gets quoted (and misunderstood) only shows 'Extents of Impervious Cover'. This area south of the road was included to ensure that no matter what was built there, the design of the stormwater management system allowed for that amount of impervious cover also. Roof or parking area, same amount of run-off. The plans don't show a building.
The General Grading Plan showed this area falling about 7’ between the road and the pond. Now the south half is being regraded with falls towards a likely east west central drain.
Elon tweeted of a possible 500' building expansion, no time frame given.
They have removed and stockpiled the gravel to either side. Laying down some more fill to raise this south side so that it drains to the centre. One stockpile of gravel left of screen at 1:57, other stockpile of gravel at 2:28 bottom left.
@@DessieDoolan Dessie, does the siteplan "Extents of Impervious Cover" also stipulate that it is diamond-shaped? Seems a bit odd, for a parking lot the primary consideration probably is traffic and best use of available space. A diamond shape has no added value I think, but perhaps it is an Elon-Special ?
Why they dont make the roads, always driving around the buliding is so dump
I'm confused - I just put Solar panels on my home roof and everything I read and see says that IF you can tilt the panels, tilt them to the south as most of the year the sun tracks to a greater or lesser degree towards the south. Especially in the winter! SO why are they sloping these panels to the west? Somebody call Elon :-).
Check out Dessie Doolan’s comment 4 posts above yours.
It’s a flat roof which yours probably is not :)
