Thanks Zanegler, Just a note on terminology. Cement is one part of concrete, the part that binds everything together. Concrete which is used for footings is cement, sand and aggregate. Cement by itself doesn't have great strength, concrete is better but the whole things is transformed by the introduction of steel reinforcement. Making reinforced concrete. You probably knew all of that, but thought I would clarify. Thanks for your videos, much appreciated.
Zanegler, may I make a suggestion, could you consider adding a shooting date below your logo - in the same font as the logo. That will really help in the long term to easily track the progress we are starting to see with your videos. Thank you for taking the time energy and effort to chronicle this event.
Props to @jamesg2382 on the concrete-cement terminology. One more terminology item: in this case, they'll be placing steel columns, not pilings. Pilings are usually below grade. Columns are any roughly vertical members. Beams are any roughly horizontal members. From the looks of the stockpiled steel items, they'll also be placing steel roof trusses (the steel members that are composed of adjacent triangles). Thank you for your flights and your videos: I really enjoy them!
Zane, as we see from other Tesla production facilities, they need a large open area for the warehouse-on-wheels, a similar area for pre-delivery/end-of-line activities. That might be the size of the building. Could have a separate contractor for the CATL cell equipment plant as they will be a fair bit different. However, Tesla acts as its own developer/prime contractor so that they can make changes on the run.
You mention all the space for lines. I have heard from FutureAZA (Brian) that some amount of this was announced for CATL LFP battery production. It may be mixed use or possibly batteries up high, trucks ground level? It will be interesting to see. Thanks
Light footing usually means a single-story building. Plus, Nevada soil is very stable. Heavy installed equipment might need more reinforcement or just bigger footings. Have we seen a render?
Good catch. Yes that is one of the three WOW’s (warehouse on wheels) that replaced the huge one that was cleared for this semi factory. I’m planning on getting a drone shot of it for a future video.
@@ZaneglerTeslaSemiStalker-vt3or I think in the least, we should produce 50,000 a year.. say 10 lines, each line producing 100 per week . Given the possible TAM, factory footprint, I anticipate output to reach over 100,000 yearly
Good footage. I thought Tesla will be installing CATL battery equipment in this building for the Semi. Not sure how much space that will take up but looks like Tesla is serious about ramping up Semi production.
@@Mrbfgray Perhaps Panasonic does not want their competitor CATL equipment in the in the same building. Also there is no space for additional battery equipment in that building.
@@Mrbfgray Not sure what Tesla plans to do with their "original" plan to expand GN. If and when they do expand the original building it will be interesting to see if they further expand the Semi production and 4680 battery production as they had originally planned. In any case it will be very good for Tesla.

Right. Dont call it cement, the right word is concrete.
@@philtrubey7480 Yeah, I think it was Jethro Bodine calling it the "cement pond" that brainwashed us all into using the wrong word! :^)
Finally real visual progress!
Wonderful shots and wonderful progress. Best video so far. Thank you Zanegler.
Appreciate the feedback.
Thank you for the update Zanegler!!
Thanks Zanegler.
I am but a humble servant.
You need a Cybertruck out there man. Lol. Great vid!
It's great to see the rapid progress and more frequent updates, Zanegler! I really appreciate your coverage!
We are finally seeing it progressing at Tesla-speed. Battle Born Nevada can be proud.
Wonderful, thank you.

I’ll give it a try. Thanks for the suggestion.
Thanks for the great video!
Great video, great to see such a great start (finally)!
Thank you. Wonderful. When you can approximate size of building like a building permit.
Can’t wait to see Tesla semi on the road soon!
Thank you
Great work. Thanks for your efforts.
Thanks. It's great to see progress.
Please turn up the volume! Thank You.
Thanks you for video FANTASTIC, from Spain
You are welcome. Love the worldwide reach of TH-cam.

Love this feedback. I kinda knew it wasn’t pilings but couldn’t find the word. Thanks

That is correct. My guess is battery production up high. We will follow this as it unfolds.
Excellent. Thanks!
awesome! Love to see the activity! Seeing all the footings being dug reminds me of when Giga Texas was in this phase
Right!
Thanks!!
🙋♂️THX ZANGLER FOR SHARING 🤗 MORE PROGRESS 💚💚💚
You bet
@@ZaneglerTeslaSemiStalker-vt3or 🙋♂️GLAD THAT THERE IS MORE FOR YOU TO DO 🤗
Increased activity coincides with reports that Tesla has finally solved its 4680 dry cathode process.
They sure start work early; everyone seemed well into their jobs by 7am 👍👏👏
Indeed. It does get very hot here during the summer months. They have not been working weekends which would really indicate full-throttle.
Thank you from Germany ☀️⚡️🔋🔌🚛❤👍😺
Super video. Keep up the good work Zan.
Light footing usually means a single-story building. Plus, Nevada soil is very stable. Heavy installed equipment might need more reinforcement or just bigger footings. Have we seen a render?
Yes we have. Look at some of my previous videos. The thumbnail shows the rendering
LOL at 2:33 I actually grabbed the armrests of my chair!
👍👍
When's Brian going to start counting squares?
Might some of the cleared area be for parking and not building?
Incrível
Might the semi footprint include worker parking?
How much of this will be the catl battery plant?
3:40 Is that trailer yard in the distance Tesla's or somebody else's?
Good catch. Yes that is one of the three WOW’s (warehouse on wheels) that replaced the huge one that was cleared for this semi factory. I’m planning on getting a drone shot of it for a future video.
Tx.
Any guess production volume per production line?
10-20 per week? I don’t think it lends itself to a lot of robots like a car line.

Shouldn't batt production be at the old adjacent site?
@@Mrbfgray Perhaps Panasonic does not want their competitor CATL equipment in the in the same building. Also there is no space for additional battery equipment in that building.
@@robkeshav800 I'm assuming that building would soon be expanded, "same building" wouldn't be meaningful if internally separated.

No need to build a battery line when you have your own right next door.
after brian’s mexico visit this is easy going…
