  • Gigafactory Texas is a dusty place and Cybertrucks need a wash, check it out. Much calmer day with less car carriers hauling off vehicle to the rail yard.

    First concrete tunnel liner ring installed? at 10:30

    Thanks Brad! Noticed at 8:16 V4 pedestals in the storage yard and at 9:57 a 2nd segment transporter at the tunnel site.

    10:30 The tunnel boring machine has moved forward, and they've put in the first ring of concrete tunnel panels.

      10:30. With the benefit of hindsight, I think the edge of these can be made out in Brad's previous video at 7:21.

    0:10. BESS installation. There’d be a reason why the new transformer was lifted in over the fence. Weight wouldn’t be one of them. It has to be shifted around inside somehow.
    0:48. BESS installation. Closer megapack and transformer taped off. Some components appear to be have been removed.
    3:16. Crash Test Track. Dunking bath. Has a cover.
    4:16. Southend. Left. Stack of screw-piles. Long excavation to the right had a single pile inserted a week. Presumably something heavy to be constructed here.
    6:44. Southend. Inside. New square excavation now has a mud base. Small square in the corner.
    7:24. Southend, west. Apron. Not much steel left. Will be 5 raker* beams for the angled transition of the windows from 2 rows to full height glazing.
    7:44. Southend. Inside. Centre tunnel. Wall shuttering/formwork placed.
    Not trenches anymore, these are clearly enclosed passages. Additionally the only access into the tunnel is from an opening in the top that is directly below the Level 2 floor opening.
    An opening through the retaining wall seems likely.
    8:02. Southend, east diagonal corner. Roof. Top rail installed for the parapet wall frame.
    9:02. W-WOW. Earthmoving machinery. Circled the wagons for the Easter break.
    9:50. Westside. Tunnel Project. TBM advanced further. Rear shield of the TBM is almost clear of the conveyor bridge beam.
    One and a bit lining rings visible. Conveyor hasn’t carried any spoil yet.
    12:32. New EOL Transport Yard. A forklift, a Cybertruck and an accordion flat bed truck. An unlikely combination.
    *Raker beam. I don’t know the correct US term. In Australian terminology ‘raker beam’ is often the term used to describe an angled component that isn’t a roof beam.

      0:48 Also, 3 switches open (One 3 phase circuit to a group of transformers) @ 0:57. Speculating that one of them is bad. They have been spending quite a bit of time around that north transformer. In any case, whatever the issue is, those switches being open mean that 8 or 10 megapacks are out of service, since they are grouped together.
      7:44 Tunnel under office space? Possibly building additional floors for the office?

      @@DavidJohnson-tv2nn 0:48. Yes clearly something wrong with that northwest corner.
      7:44. I can't see this as an office building. People keep saying floors will be added later. On the west side there is an additional floor, so I would expect all floors would be built initially.
      Speculation this is access that doesn't interfere with the fully glazed wall design.

      @Frank-gt7me หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      0:10 I suspect the new transformer was delivered before they were ready for it, and inside the fence was just a secure place to store it. We’ll see if they need another crane to install it, or if being on the ground instead of on a trailer allows them to just use a forklift, since the center of gravity would now be low and close in.

      What's long and heavy and suitable for that location between powerlines? I thought perhaps for coils of stainless or even another casting staging area closer to prototype $25K car assembly!? [Or a super long ramp on a pedestrian bridge, but no other-side yet. Or for that location a solar awning over a bus/shuttle stop or superchargers would be great, but no need for that excavation]

      @@Gig0Surf One of the mysteries of this build is why we don't see massive amounts of external plant similar to what is visible at the other new build Tesla factories at Nevada, Shanghai, and Berlin.
      A lot is clearly located just below roof level on elevated platforms/mezzanine floors, but that can't be suitable for everything. Plus there would be new processes required for the $25k car, and new processes recently developed for Cybertruck production, all of which would have been unknown during the original build.
      Things like the new Tank Farm, whatever is happening outside of Casting, and this new location at the Southend are all indications of these new requirements.
      My guess then is plant either process or HVAC, compressors, tanks etc. Could just as likely be external storage for coils of metal as you suggest.
      Same area was excavated and back-filled in July 2022. Jeff's Day 710 shows excavation, Joe's 20 July 2022 shows backfilling.

    Megapacks:
    @ 0:23 New Megapack transformer. Likely to replace a bad transformer on the north end. seen here: @ 0:45
    @ 0:54 All switches closed.
    @ 0:57 Three switches open.
    River road extension:
    @ 4:33 Ongoing work. Looks like they may fill in all or part of the pond to the south.
    Parking garage:
    North:
    @ 5:46 New water main in trench.
    South:
    @ 6:04 (Left) New concrete slab by the vaults.
    @ 6:05 (Bottom left) A lot of cable sticking out of the vault.
    EOL facility:
    @ 11:50 (Bottom left) Work on what appears to be a lift station. Wonder what they do with their waste water now?

    Where are the fire escapes in the addition? I know in the main building there are fire escape stairs along the main building with exits to the outside? Maybe it’s a little far fetched but could these be some kind of fire protection areas?

    • @DessieDoolan
      @DessieDoolan หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      7:48 for example is quite possibly a fire escape passage. Design of the retaining wall in front of the passage allows for an opening to be easily constructed.

      @@michaeljohnson1805 Vault is below the glass. Speculating there will be an opening made in the retaining wall. It's constructed with the provision for an opening to be be added.
      If you look closely at 7:49 you can see a thickening in the wall (which is a beam), and immediately in front of the passage on the face of the retaining wall a groove is cast into the concrete corresponding with the passage width. Rebar not continuous behind this groove. It's meant to be easily removed. No idea why it wasn't constructed as an opening initially.
