The depth of the stamping foundation is to allow those high walls to transfer load from the machines onto a wide area of high strength dirt, if not natural ground.
Been interesting watching it progress - they still have a fair amount to knock out to have the top deck insulated and water membrane in place. The side panels, same but those will happen in a couple of days when they hit it. Nov 15, thought they might make it by Christmas week but didn't. As long as they're happy with the progress, that's what matters. Most construction in the US runs long, lots to do. Not going to see any significant volume coming out of this facility until 4Q25, it's mostly a 2026 full production timeline.
0:09. Small projecting part of Section E. Flying the Tesla flag. Wall has curved wall framing for a change in materials. Similar (but different) seen in the render at 7:20. 1:11. Southwest corner. Small door. Large cables through the door and laying on the ground. 5:37. Centre lower. Rebar starters* for the chamber roof. *The bars bent horizontally. 5:45. Centre. Depth of rebar must be 4' to 5' 1.2m to 1.5m deep.
Depending on the technology of the press and the size and thickness of the rails they intend to stamp there could be a need for a tank that will hold the lubricant and coolant for the dies
Any sign or word about the semi factory Amusement Park with semi truck water rides or scary production line rides in dark, dank, clacking robot cars at war with 👾 semi builders? 🙏💯👌
I don't believe any class 8 truck frame rails are stamped by the truck OEM. Unless Tesla is making a huge departure from the rest of the industry I would imagine they are from the same company most others are I believe it's called IMAGUSA in Mexico. Great videos though thank you for making them
Love it! Happy New Year. Lots of milestones to come.
2025 is going to be a good year for Tesla.
Thank you. Happy New Year, Zanegler!
Happy New Year to you too!
Fantastic video, from Spain

Thank you so much for your videos documenting progress at Gigs Semi! And Happy New Year!
You are most welcome! Happy New Year!
Thank you young man. Happy New Year to you and yours.
You are very welcome! Happy New Year!
The stamping pit is probably going to be for a giga casting for the semi
Happy new years

Oh yeah happy new year.
Cheers!
GO TESLAAAAAAA 🎉
How did they build the “mud” staircases at the stamping pit?

I thought the thumbnail looked like Lego.
No walls or slab yet for section F but the others look pretty close to done. Watching section G next year will be interesting.

This thing is going so fast. But after the speed of china and Texas im not surprised.
Please stop showing the Tesla Semi for the new year. You’re losing your viewers. Concentrate on construction. Thanks
Some one got coal in their stocking 🧦.
