- Today was a beautiful day on the heals of a storm coming thru Texas but that did not affect work at all on Tesla's Gigafactory 5! A bit of rain and wind at the end of the video ended it but overall progress looks amazing.

Excellent video Jeff. The Austin area sight is a great choice; It has a high speed, divided road on one side and 2 High Voltage electrical lines on the other. It also looks like it used to be a placer mine for gravel. The land has already been raped, torn to bits, moved into piles and left for dead. Good for Texas! I'm a strong environmentalist and I think this is a great site for an electric car factory. Hopefully, Tesla will leave the land better than they found it.
I think they most def will. Great comment!
@Frank Hage
My first hope was they would restore the land to its original state. Now I’m not so sure. Maybe they could engineer lakes and ponds to encourage more biodiversity. It could also mitigate drainage/flooding issues. Maybe add a few walking trails for the locals. Seems most of the work for that has already been done. : )
Keep pumping more footages constantly before the others guys your channel will growth very quickly :)
So PUMP'D, Home of the CyberTruck!
Good music intro!
Feels like Giga Shanghai all over again.
Who hopes TESLA sets an new construction record for Giga Tex?
texas is so green, had no idea, reminds me a little of England towards the horizon
Texas is so everything. Huge pines trees, vast hundreds of miles of dirt and rocks, nice canyons, beach coasts. Texas is huge..
Texas is so huge that it covers several ecosystems. Forests in the east, coastal plains along the gulf, prairies in the north, hills in the center, and mountains and canyons in the west. Worth a visit, but make it a long one because all regions deserve some time!
wow...keep up the good work..i hope you are prepared to do this for another year (because i will watch everyday)
You got it!
I hope you're able to capture footage from very specific locations every day or even multiple times a day, so that down the road you can do really awesome time lapse
Yes i hope he has mapped a specific flight so that we can get a really cool time lapse next year
Great idea, I’ll do it!
Yes please! This is missing from the giga Shanghai footage. They have beautiful shots but rather random so the time sequence is much harder to follow.
I am from the future: Yes. Great for tracking my investment 😀
Nice. Please show more of the river in the next one.
Warren Redlich later today, I think you’ll enjoy the Day 5 video :-)
These videos are awesome. I cant wait to follow the progress of the construction. Supreme quality. I'm going to be able to tell my kids and grandkids that I waited to see the FIRST Tesla Cybertrucks roll off the line way back in 2021 😍 They're gonna be like "what an old man" 😄
yea I can picture that!
I love watching Tesla factories take shape. Subscribed.
Thank you and greetings from Germany! :-)
Kool.
It took Giga-Berliners 4 months to reach this stage.
Like I said, Giga-Texas will be making Cybers before Giga-Berlin is half-way ready to make anything. :)
This is absolutely perfect, thanks for posting! Keep up the great work!!
Great Video! Thank you.
In Giga Berlin they had "Lizard Fence" to protect wildlife, it looks like they have something similar here.
5:09 the trucks are getting an assist uphill.
We Austinites look to be blessed with the biggest, most beautiful and accessible Gigafactory to date. Elon knows Austinites love their hiking trails. That he is building public access greenbelt into the design is, if we didn't know already, genius. Oh, and, p.s., Subbed! 👍👍
Ty!! Yes, Elon is one of us- he gets it!
Thanks Jeff!
Great video!
Great video!
Ty, keep em coming please👍
So far Jeff you are killing it. Others are shaky and disjointed. Elon has them working on Sunday. When you can try to get a foot print diagram.
Thanks Jeff. Appreciate the time and effort.
Ty!
As always, totally awesome! Hi from New Orleans. Cannot wait to drive there to pick up my Cybertruck and hopefully I will get to tour the plant at the same time.
No wonder you're getting a Cybertruck if you have to deal with those cyclist taxis.
Keep the amazing footage coming, Just subscribed thanks
Thanks man! Keep up the daily videos!
Thanks for the upload.
Also liked and comment to get more exposure on your channel for the TH-cam algorithm. And subscribed. Definitely important for exposure.
Now I have 3 factories to follow :)
Thanks again.
Great footage! Thanks for documenting. Looking forward to the progression as the work continues. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing the updates!
can't wait for this to go up
I love the background music, and it made the video much enjoyable. Really love it.
Hope you have a team helping you.
It looked like one excavator was in the water with pontoons so it would not get stuck.
Maybe some zoom in shots on different things of interest.
I like how you showed the cement plants and highway development.
Texas always has a reputation for going BIG
Great job!
Ty!!
thank you！
Alright one new channel to look forward too, solid drone views
I can see why Austin won the Gigafactory, incredible fast start. 2021 Q2 production start possible?
Greets from Germany!
Great to have you here! How’s Berlin?
@@peterdog15 really really fast👍 you can look here: mobile.twitter.com/gf4tesla?lang=de
They say its faster than the GIGA 3 Shanghai
Used Google Earth to get a relation of size of this site to Shanghai, China site. Shanghai is 5,537 ft. long from the road on the north side to the canal on the south. This is the whole area is what both model 3 and Y assembly buildings use. The area is 2,069 ft. West to East.
For the Austin site, measuring by what is being leveled now runs 5,161 North to South and 5,039 East to West. The big factor here is what is being prepped now is only a third of the whole property. There is more than enough room for 3 assembly line buildings and more here at the Austin site.
Everything is biggest in Texas.
@@matthanrath497 Including the swamps
@@thewolfdoctor761 The cartoon version of swamps are easy to denigrate. But what are sneered at as swamps are nothing more than natural (or manmade) wetlands, home to a huge variety of wildlife and essential to migrating birds. This Gigafactory grounds is going to be a great place to hike and explore.
I see room for at least five Shanghai Gigas!
@Clint Atkinson
Lol. Yeah, wetlands sounds nicer, doesn’t it?
I didn’t give much thought to Musk’s comment about creating an “ecological paradise” but now I can see how something special could be done with this land.
Forever Tesla construction music! As used to good effect by Wuwa's early videos in Shanghai
Great Footage!!!
100k subs incoming
Great videos! In addition to the higher level, are you allowed to fly lower so we can get a better feel for the slope of the ground? A combination of higher and lower would be fantastic!
Excellent thanks
Interesting that they don't need too worry about land permits and clearing etc. should be alot faster then Giga Berlin
They now have two machines stuck in those muck pools! Will be interesting to see if they're just trying to pump and evaporate the water from the ponds by spreading it or if it's to reduce dust.
Great video, keep up the good work!
Subbed.
Ty!
Video is nice but the music...lol....the beat builds up and.... drops but nothing changes on the screen miss opportunity or change the music but Ill just turn it down. Have a good day. Keep the videos coming! : )
Please do a run along the Colorado river.
Check out day 5 video- more Colorado River shots to come!
Amazing speed! Let’s beat Shanghai.
Thanks keep them coming until we see cybertruck.
Nice. Are they pumping the water out of those lakes? Where do they dump the water after extracting it?
They are very likely to keep the old gravel pit ponds as water features, the entire site is next to a river
Ok, it's true. Ranger Excavation was hired by site developer directly it seems.
amazing how quickly they can destroy a habitat.
Thanks, would love some lower shots, if allowed, to show more vertical relief. Also, where is this Colorado River?
@ABC
I’m pretty it’s on the left at 6:50. You can see a bridge system carrying the interstate over it in the upper center of the screen. Of course it’s not the same Colorado River that runs through the Grand Canyon..
Are you planning on doing these updates daily?
For now 😃
Nice video. What Music was at the begging. What I meant to ask is whats this song called?
I Love Tesla’s The song is called “Nimbus” from the TH-cam audio library.
Austin usually gets multi Billion dollar Wafer Fabs (300mm Intigrated circiut waters etc..) and software Labs. this time a Electric car packed with those electronics and software made in Austin.

Great video! Looking forward to more content! Looks like you're a first mover on the Giga (tera?) Austin footage, looking forward to seeing more! If you need any inspiration checkout Tobias Lindh or Wolfpack Berlin. Both great channels covering Giga Berlin
Great ty, I will!
Now THIS is the kind of environment people should protest for. Great ecological diversity, unlike the plantation in Grünheide...
You know this was all mined out for aggregates years ago? You don't think those ponds and spoil heaps are 'natural' do you? Go on google maps to the Klondike and have a look, the destruction was done way back when. Whatever is done in either place is an artifice of mankind.
How far away is the Martin Marietta ready mix plant and is that part of the property good job and keep it up thank you
mike hatfield Thank you, yes it’s just North of the site and later today, a video will be posted flying over that section.
@@peterdog15 Thank you Jeff If you keep this up you will a great new job
Edited from your phone as well?
Has this Land Been mined before
How likely is it for the Texas Colorado river to flood?
They have the best engineers. The flood level has been well established and all buildings will be out of the flood zone.
A fresh water fish farm ?
What was there before? Was this a dumping ground?
Sand and gravel mining pits.
Liking it. Gotta sub outta me! Maybe try sharing this with Torque News. It would be interesting to see what happens to sub count. 07-29-2020, 1.98K subs, benchmark... Go!
5:00 Dozer is still buried deep. Looks like they've given up on pulling it out for now. That's going to be an expensive cleanup.
I saw 2 excavators in the water one looks stuck.
The other looks like it kind of floats on water
They will use a CyberTruck to pull it out! ;)
3:42 now two stuck machines?
Your resolution was a lot lower on this video. I was only getting 360p tops. Video looked real soft.
Brad Sloan Give TH-cam some time to process - we are noticing that it’s taking a lot longer tonight. Sorry!
@@peterdog15 Your right it does look better now. Getting 1080p now instead of the 360p.
The existing topography seems to indicate a previous use. I was wondering wether these were settling ponds or something similar, or are they natural formations?
How about less "thumper' music. Take note of the Giga Berlin videos.
Great point, ty!
This is not going to be a straightforward groundworks preparation process. Leveling is going to take far longer than previous Gigafactory sites.
If they plan their work properly, and they will, one area will be leveled soon and they will start building there while continuing to level other areas. It will go fast!
@@bruceburnworth8082 OK, thanks. It's fairly difficult to gain a proper perspective of the site's topography from the air. Do you happen to know if they will be bringing in extra fill for those areas that have been quarried or will leveling of the existing soil take care of it?
Peter S Yes you can see bottom dumps bringing in soil. Another video on this channel traces the truck route being used.
@@bruceburnworth8082 Thanks.
and now the bulldozers are regularly pushing the dump trucks up that loose hill, it's not just one-off time.
Notice there’s no there there. People who live in this area in Austin have to drive about 20 miles round trip to get groceries. The starting wages $35k qualifies employees for “affordable housing” (max. $41k to qualify). And it is my prediction that many of these jobs will be fully automated within 5 years. Musk is another billionaire exploiting the working class so he can have more money for his vanity projects, and we in Austin gave him the tax breaks to do so. We don’t have a jobs problem in Austin. We have a skills problem...and a population growth problem. Thank god we didn’t land Amazon’s second headquarters!
Are you native to Austin?
@Cat Meadows
If you want to perpetuate the oil economy I’m sure there’s more than a few people in Texas who’ll slip you some money.
Elements of the Houston-based space industry hate the fact that taxpayers are now spending 1/15 as much as they used to to launch communication and earth-observation satellites. All thanks to Spacex reusing rockets instead of dumping them and their remaining fuel into the ocean.
Total BS, no way that is the Tesla site. Austin simply cannot move that fast, nor can the construction.
@dframeIII
I heard this is where they staged the moon landings.
I'd rather hear construction sound than music.
Silence is better than that stupid NOISE.... glad I have a MUTE.
Thanks Jeff!!
