Music suit the pictures very well. Keep up the good work Brad. Per in 🇩🇰😎 -Expect a call from Tarantino soon.
Fantastic video, thank you Brad, from Spain
Thank you Brad. Love your flying.
Love the "Star Wars" effect with the intro text. 👍
Thanks Brad
Busy day. Loads happening around the site.
0:23. Southend, south. Top of the retaining wall and 18” 0.45m down the face is being painted. Clue there to the finished ground level around the exterior.
0:32. Southend. Lighting shows up the temporary cable bracing of the steel frame. No braced column bays have been constructed yet.
2:19. Southend. Formwork and rebar for a column footing placed on the extended CFA piles. Busting up the group of piles below.
3:52. Parking Garage. Top left. Saw-cutting the fresh concrete.
3:56. BIW. Left of the East Main Entrance. Red visible through the windows. Machinery presumably. Other than in Joe’s video yesterday, haven’t noticed this before. Something new perhaps.
3:56. Pond. Blue hose run into one of the overflow culvert pipes.
4:36. BIW. Under roof plant room. Scaffold decking now infills the entire space. Covered on the south with plastic sheet, including the Evapco towers. Guardrail to the right also sheeted. Temporary weather protection?
4:47. River Road. Giga Water Loop project. The linesman in the truck holding up the power pole can finally get a day off.
4:55. River. Outfall structure. Vacuuming up silt.
5:20. Westside. Property boundary. The mystery white pipe/conduit starts here. Or ends here.
5:59. New EOL. The mystery white pipe/conduit. Lot of utilities enter the building at this point.
6:54. New EOL Superchargers. Paving. Screw piles for the awning structure located in the narrower rows between the Superchargers.
7:42. Westside. Tunnel Project. Removing the lifting lugs from the south side of the TBM front shield.
7:54. Westside. Tunnel Project. Top left. Additional rolls of the spoil conveyor.
9:03. Westside. Old contractors yard. 6 clearly identifiable Level 2 perimeter beams that have the large glazing channel bracket blocks attached. At least another 6 bays of fully glazed wall for the Southend. Counting these because that fully glazed wall needs to transition to meet the existing structure at some point. Possibly beginning at 1:48 where the retaining wall ends.
9:28. Westside, storage. Top left. Furnace flue components.
10:34. New EOL transport yard. Suction excavation works. High pressure water hose loosens the earth, spoil sucked out by the vacuum hose.
11:34. BESS switchyard. Top. Control building. Generator has been removed. That’s an almost certain indication the BESS switchyard is live.
13:06. Far north storage. Less stuff here. Not been obvious if it is going into the building.
Big dumper bins suggests it isn’t.
13:58. Cathode east. Pond. Shifting earth around on the top of the pond walls.
14:05. Cathode east, apron. Bottom. Frame assembled. 2 more being assembled further south.
14:19. Cathode roof. Installing a small flue.
14:33. Die Shop/Cathode alley. Asphalt paving works to Tesla Road. No curb. Temporary-ish.
14:47. Die Shop. Left. Road. Cover removed from the utilities/service duct.
Cathode, plant platform. Lagging/insulation and cladding works on the pipework.
Road. Rebar placed for last section of paving in the alley. Almost last, see 14:37.
14:49. Cathode west. Left. Tanker. An industrial gas delivery.
15:14. Cathode west. Loading platform reinstated.
15:50. Plastics, roof. PV array. Electrical controls cabinet. Cover removed.
16:55. Northend. Road embankment/berm. Erosion control/planting expanded geo-grid placed. Similar used at the Main Entrance banked garden beds.
17:06. Casting east. Apron extension. Paving machine spanning the full width of the extension. Some rebar placed.
17:27. Casting east. Cables draped out of the vaults on the left and right.
BIW, apron. Centre. Bin of casting trimmings being flipped over into the trailer.
4:36 Maybe they are painting those beams. Not sure if they did that for the other opening.
13:06 Maybe that is where the red "machinery" near East Main Entrance is from. Looks like they are cleaning up the emptied crates.
4:47 I was wondering how long they rented that truck for. Pretty expensive way to keep a pole guyed in position.
@@Bill_N_ATX I think it says Mastec on the side so maybe they own it.
@@Bill_N_ATX So easily could have been propped. Maybe it was truck ready to be disposed of, and this is it's last hurrah.
"One last stand Custer, that's all we're asking".
It's been there since at least 27 December.
@@sammyk874 4:36. Paint. That makes sense.A huge drop sheet.
13:06. Could be. Salvaged what they could, the rest off to the scrap yard.
Maravilha de documentário
Good video Brad. Thanks for the update.
Thanks Brad
When tunnel to loading yard is complete , Tesla should be able to have cars coming out of the factory self drive to loading yard . It is a route they will repeat thousands of times a month and when the small car is on line, thousands of times a week. A pretty simple program to implement I would think.
Fastest thing ever built on site is that parking garage.
With all that berm widening along the northeast side of the gigafactory they might as well completely level the elevated section of roadway running along there. There are plenty of areas onsite it could be used for fill.
Thank you!
finally got to see the outfall pipes .! thanks
Merci👍👍👍
Individual transportation is a huge mistake .
Individual transportation is a major factor in crime .
Paved paradise ,
Grass is already green in Texas.
👍
Nice to see pavement at the new Superchargers. Tesla is probably pushing to get those operational as quickly as possible; I wouldn't be surprised if they start using these next week, assuming the electrical connections are in place. On that last point, they still seem to have power coming in from the above-ground lines instead of from the connection under the highway, so I don't know if they have enough capacity yet. I have no idea if that's in the critical path.
Take a look into the open vaults @ 7:07 My screen resolution isn't that great but I don't see any cables?
@@DavidJohnson-tv2nn Thanks. I think you're right. They still have the lines from the utility poles hooked up, but it's not clear whether they have power from there to the Supercharger or not, and it's also not clear if those lines are sufficient to power them. We'll just have to wait and see.
@@pfcrow I sure wish we could get more views into the other vaults. Then we could see the cable routing, or lack of cables. Though that may still be difficult to see. Depending on the angle and the lighting at the time.
I'd guess they have power, and are keen to get the Superchargers operational. Awnings still be installed, so paving out of sequence otherwise.
@@DessieDoolan Doesn't appear to be any cables in the vaults @ 7:07 or am I missing something? Those are the vaults that will be supplying power to the green switchgear cabinets to the left.
Ah!!! Não vejo o momento dessas linhas superficiais de transmissão de energia serem retiradas, pois são uma poluição visual e estão atrapalhando o lado lateral Leste da fábrica !!! Grato Sr. Brad !!!
Those lines will never be removed. They are on what is called an easement in the US. Simply put, it’s a parcel of land set aside for the public good to hold things like power lines, water lines, oil and natural gas pipelines as such. That one contains two sets of high voltage transmission lines, a natural gas pipeline and a refined petroleum products pipeline. They existed before Tesla bought the property and are not going anywhere. But in reality, these were actually a feature. It was cheap for the LCRA to set up the large substation for Tesla which will save them money on energy for the life of the project. The same for the natural gas it uses to not only heat the plant in winter but to melt the aluminum for casting. They didn’t have to pay for it to be brought to their facility. It was right there. So again, a feature, not a fault.
Notice that alleyway betwix the 2 buildings where all those tall tanks are standing.
See the 4 cooling units sitting atop than structure? Notice the open space next
to the cooling units. It looks to me like there is room for 4 more cooling units. I
dont know if they have a need for 4 more now OR this is just a provision for future expansion.
!
What timestamp? It's a big site.
I couldn't tell if the old outbound parking lot was being used for employees yet & if its fence had been removed. Happen to notice if there was any change since the lines were painted?
3:28 looks like there are cars there, can’t tell if they removed the fence from this distance though.
Not sure, but it looks like the reflecting heat from those huge new windows (0:21) has burnt (or dried) the mud in in front of the building (making lines in the ground), or is that a camera effect? Thoughts?
That extension on the south end of the factory building:
Isnt that roofline suppose to be straight?
!
What timestamp?
No, needs pitch for water drainage.
With sections of the roof open, what happens when it rains?
Floor drains. Floor below serves the same purpose as the roof.
On the P garage, it looks like they can take the center crane apart next thursday.
Parking garage:
@ 3:04 (Upper left) Hard to see, but off in the distance by the pond..... Extension of the Supercharge duct-bank. Likely to provide power to the parking garage. Also seen @ 3:55
(Left) More vaults ready for placement.
@ 3:10 (Bottom) The duct-bank turns to the east. New vaults placed.
@ 3:19 Precast structure close to its eastern boundary.
EOL facility:
South:
@ 6:53 Paved around the superchargers. Too bad they didn't use concrete.
@ 7:07 A look into the vaults. Don't see any cables. It may be a while before the superchargers are operational.
Megapacks:
@ 11:32 Worker working in an open transformer cabinet.
(Upper left) Generator that provided temporary power to the control building is gone.
Eastside of casting:
@ 17:28 (Vault by the building) Still ongoing work to pull the final main power cables into the building.
Also to be done.... Cable pull of the new cables for the superchargers (Vault just to the south of the open vault).
David at 11:07 it looks to me like there are glowing green lights
@@benguthrie49 11:07. On the south facing panels?
@@benguthrie49 Do you mean on the west side of the transformers? Could be the angle of the sunlight? Can't see that good on my screen.
@@DessieDoolanI hadn't noticed the south. I'll try to be more specific. on the transformers? along the west end of the rows. look along the top edge on the left - I think I see little green square lights lit - 2 per unit. Maybe my wishful thinking.
@@benguthrie49 On the west, those appear to be the ends of a small square tube.
On the south, it looks like there is a small square display 6" 150mm square.
After you put the idea into my head, I can almost make out a green glow.
The power of suggestion!
An early morning flight would hopefully show up some indicator lights. I would guess these would be visible from a distance just so a technician walking down the rows could easily spot a fault.
I was just thinking :
The west side kinda looks like perhaps there is NO power over there as yet.
Maybe when the tunnel gets bored, power will be pulled thru it to connect the
west side. The 2 gensets next to the boring machine made me think this.
!
Power will come from Bluebonnet, seen @ 5:52 (Upper left)
And through a duct-bank that goes under the freeway.
Just another construction site.
Why not have some voice over. On your ideas what you are showing. Some info on tesla and factory details. This for me is worthless but great for others maybe.
If you need running commentary watch Joe's video unless you want to pay me $100 bucks per video. Also I don't like to speculate.
