6:07. As mentioned in a previous video by @ZachGrady, part of the 'stamping press' footings extend past the west boundary of the already constructed factory. Clearly visible in the render also. Above at 6:07 a line of 3 column locations visible on the same alignment as the west boundary. This covered chamber would be for scrap removal conveyors, maintenance access, utilities etc. The open section of roof would be some sort of elevator/conveyor to bring the scrap to the surface. 2 small structures are visible in the render above this chamber. The stamping press location likely the area under construction to the right, currently without walls. Watch the Munro Cybertruck factory tour video to see how a stamping press system works. Video title 'Tesla Manufacturing: See how the Cybertruck HFS Panels are Blanked, Bent, and Built!' The video starts with the scrap removal system. Shows a hot stamping line, as well as a regular stamping line. Shows how the dies are moved in and out of the presses at ground level on trolleys known as bolsters.
Zangler. I worked for Wichita State University. I ran the shock and vibration. Yes this pit system is called a "reaction mass". We had a sled that tested airplane seat designs. Every time we used it the guys in the labs hot a bit out of shape do to the vibrstions effecting the electron microscopes.
In Austin the stamping section foundations construction went on for months if not years. It's fascinating work. Any word on the tonnage of the presses going in?
Interesting to compare the progress here with the footage Jeff Roberts took at Giga Texas… from about this video, onwards th-cam.com/video/nLYXWNph22A/w-d-xo.htmlsi=asKhXamfRsbChm_h
Cheers Zanegler, much appreciated as always mate! If the Stamping foundations are anything like GigaTexas, then the foundations have concrete "ceilings" (you can see the right-angle rebar and wooden forms for the concrete pour) and the presses are installed on top. The scrap from the stamping process is removed from the stamping machines and does not fall below the presses. Interesting idea about using existing suppliers while bringing the new plant online. But (and it's possibly a big one), that idea is predicated on the new Semi, being the same as the current version. My guess would be that won't be the case, Tesla do not seem wedded to whatever has gone before. We Know Elon has a clean sheet design philosophy, so with a new custom factory and the opportunity to keep innovating, I'm expecting further changes/optimisations.
The stamping facility will use relativerly little wiring compared tho the rest of the line where machienery is much smaller and needs higher density of wiring, and many machines fit on to a small footprint. It's my guess that all will come online within a relatively short time span.
Amazing video I am wondering because of the size of the stamping machines will they install them before they put a roof on the building and if so will we be getting to watch a video of that process?
Hopefully, we'll see the east wall next time. And the roofing.
Good job!
🤗THX ZANEGLER FOR THE UPDATE 💚💚💚

Thank you for this. I really think the input from viewers is one of the best things about these videos.

Thank you for the much improved videos!!
Much appreciate.
I'm glad you are enjoying them. I aim to improve production quality as the audience grows.
@ Im happy the massage music is kept to a minimum 😅😘
Really appreciate your hard work. Thanks
Appreciate that!
Zengler, they are ptobably compensating for the ground leveling. They had to dig to the original (stable) ground level
I agree.
Good show and reasonable assumptions.

After construction is complete would be likely.

COUPLE MORE MONTHS AND IT WILL BE HAMMER TIME!
