Great work. I hope this brings you as much happiness as it does me. The electric semi is going to be brilliant and no doubt will have a major impact on transport efficiency.
What you are seeing are footers for columns. If a footer is larger, it means it will be carrying more load. That would likely mean more than one level. The only way the work you are seeing has anything to do with 'stamping', would be if equipment was being placed on a 2nd or 3rd floor. The foundation for a giant stamping press would not be located where column footers are located. An odd shaped footing at the location of a column could potentially indicate the addition of something like an overhead crane.
Wow! They've made rapid progress on the footing excavations - they should reach the eastern perimeter grade beam location by the end of this week! Thank you for your flights and your commentary! I hope that you had a great, and well-deserved, vacation!
Crane hire is expensive. Despite having a 30 billion dollar war chest, Tesla is being extremely cautious about how it's spending its money due to current economic conditions worldwide. This may partly account for the reason Tesla has not had cranes onsite yet. If the concrete footings for this particular site need to be larger than normal due to soil conditions and or the resulting concrete mix they're using takes longer to cure, you don't want to have very expensive heavy equipment hire just hanging around doing nothing if it proved that the rate of steel frame erection was faster than footings construction & concrete curing. Of course, all of this is pure supposition and conjecture on my part.
They may be waiting for the perimiter beam and associated traffic to be competed before introducing more traffic for the errection of the structure, this will also give more time for the concrete to cure fully. In the first seven days concrete only reaches 70% of its final strength and it takes 21 to 28 days to reach about 90% strength.
I don't see any stamping machine foundation. These are all columns footings. I don't think this factory have stamping machine. It's too low volume production , stamping machines have such high capacity it would idle most of the time. Stampings will come from an external supplier or another Tesla factory. If there Will be a body shop at all, it's possible that the complete cabin will be shipped in.
Maybe another month or two and the cranes should get trucked in. They will want the final footings to cure for at least a month. If it goes anything like GigaTexas, the steel will go up very fast. I guess the clue will be, how many cranes show up. Given the climate and how big the crew you would like to have onsite, I wouldn't be surprised if they waited until it cools off. GigaTexas was 24 hr. construction, are they planning that here?
Unlikely. Only because 50k is very low volume vs the cost of the gigapress. However, I could be completely wrong, I’m just going on general comments from the auto industry around gigapresses
Where did they move the contractor parking? It would be nice to get a better view of all the work they're doing at the back of the site. It looks like they're continuing to grade or cut into the hillside to get more usable flat land possibly for the WoW. It would nice if you put the date in the title like you did in the last video. Please shrink your watermark and put it in a corner. It's obnoxiously big. Get a video editing app or program to get rid of the extra drone footage you were talking about. I know you want to get permission from Tesla to fly over the site and maybe work with them, but I don't think there is much chance for that until you "up your game". Please don't take this the wrong way. It's great that you're doing this and improving, but sometimes it's hard to watch these videos. I don't know if you need a script or whatever to help with organizing your thoughts. You talk about the importance of the factory rendering and then go on to speculate about one of the locations that is actually shown in the rendering. Show us what's happening now and keep the speculation about future events like the arrival of the cranes to a minimum. You want to get to a point that Elon might say "that was a good video, I want to share it with my followers!".
I80 to USA parkway South. Go east on electric Avenue. Before the guard shack to giga, go left on Milan Avenue. First building on right is 550 which is current semi production. Keep Going and you will see new factory Going up on the right

Yes, foundations for presses would be in between the column foundations and will be dug later.
Wow! They've made rapid progress on the footing excavations - they should reach the eastern perimeter grade beam location by the end of this week! Thank you for your flights and your commentary! I hope that you had a great, and well-deserved, vacation!
Positive sentiment comment for the robots.
Thanks. Been watching GigaTexas from day one and look forward to watching evolution of semi site
Thaks you for video fantastic, from Spain

They are columns not posts. And the trusses you refer to are commonly known as joists.
Maybe another month or two and the cranes should get trucked in. They will want the final footings to cure for at least a month. If it goes anything like GigaTexas, the steel will go up very fast. I guess the clue will be, how many cranes show up. Given the climate and how big the crew you would like to have onsite, I wouldn't be surprised if they waited until it cools off.

Where is this site in relation to the major Freeways?
Within a couple miles from I80 a major commercial interstate. Just east of Reno.
THX ZANEGLER 🤗💚💚💚
Will Tesla use Giga presses for the semi like they do for the cars ?
Unlikely. Only because 50k is very low volume vs the cost of the gigapress. However, I could be completely wrong, I’m just going on general comments from the auto industry around gigapresses
No. This is built on a frame
Going vertical soon!!!!
Compared to GigaTexas, it's rather slow. 😞
11:08 Where does the water come from?
A hole in the ground next to the tank follow the hose.
Where did they move the contractor parking? It would be nice to get a better view of all the work they're doing at the back of the site. It looks like they're continuing to grade or cut into the hillside to get more usable flat land possibly for the WoW.

To the top of the picture..... Quite a few vehicles up there.
Where is this TESLA SEMI Site in relation to the major Freeways in Nevada?

Look up "giga nevada" Google Maps or Google Search. Don't be lazy.
