The roads of this kind of super factory need to be designed wider, such as 8 lanes, to quickly transport materials and complete the shipping process. I hope that designers and engineers must consider whether the size of the factory matches the road when designing and planning. It is also necessary to build overpasses and underground transportation channels, and to fully use unmanned driving and unmanned transport aircraft systems.

after I saw the thumbnail text, i watched this waiting for the closer fly by of the crashed trucks, but couldn't find it, I am kinda dissapointed, and filled with that click bait feeling...

Good progress.

Thanks you Jeff , video fantastic, from Spain

Zen mode video today. <3

Thanks Jeff 0:21. Casting, diagonal corner. Apron. Couple of beams. Support structure for the new furnace flues was painted the same dark grey. More of that, or perhaps the first baghouse components. 0:45. BIW, apron. Bottom. Sanitary Sewer Lift Station. Water storage trailers, pumps etc gone. Big excavator on standby 1:14. Southend, Cooling Tower. Blue plastic laid for a moisture proof membrane. Reminiscent of the Shanghai videos where any plastic is invariably blue. 1:24. Southend, east. Apron. Works on the blue water main where it crosses the path of the large cooling pipes. 1:34. Southend, south. East fire escape passages. Screw/auger piles placed. Speculating there will be a road around the southend, and these passages will extend under the road for the fire escape to be away from the building. 1:43. Southend, south. West fire escape. Excavator with a screw-head attachment driving in the piles. 2:22. GA, highway berm. Sanitary Sewer Lift Station. Auxiliary pumps removed. Problem sorted perhaps. 4:22. Old EOL yard. East west road is named Electron Street, as seen in Joe's Shareholder Meeting video. 9:25. Westside, storage north. Right. Now 8 plate heat-exchangers. 10:32. EOL, transport yard. New asphalt paving line marked. Arrows give away what’s coming. 10:57. Westside, south west. Left. Large cylindrical TBM shaped object. Still on site regardless of what the future holds for it.

Merci👍👍👍

Thank you!

Should have put the staff parking across the freeway and the shipping where the parking is. But Texans will not ride a bus even for 2 minutes.

Junkyard needs parts

Elon: The best part is no part at all. This soundtrack wont let anybody to flee at once.

Thanks Jeff! Cooling tower: @ 1:15 Waterproof membrane laid down at the base of the tower prior to concrete pour. South expansion: @ 1:39 All 3 fire escape passages open. Pile driving continues. Parking garage: @ 4:30 (Right) Construction road by the pond closed on the west end Ongoing work on to lay two 8' diameter stormwater pipes. @ 4:38 Hydroseeding around the building. Rooftop cable trays. @ 11:57 (Right) Cable spools on the work platform provide the cable that is pulled along several thousand feet of double stacked cable tray along the parapet wall. All the way north to point just past the factory's main switchgear room @12:23 Cable eventually will go all the way to the north end of the building.

No music today?

10:10 The new paving in the outbound lot is striped!

1st!😁

Merci👍👍👍

Video fantastic, Jeff

At 11:59 it is evident Tesla is starting to empty out the long-term (not much turnover for the last few months) trailers from this lot. Probably long lead time south extension items and (long lead time) solar panels for the main factory solar farm phase 2 expansion. Almost done with the conduits from the northeast factory corner to the switchyard and Megapack BESS. The conduits around the roof to electrically connect the panels are also getting there. After all the conduits are in place and the electrical cables are pulled and in place, the panels can start being installed. That should empty out this lot pretty quickly if I'm right. Foundation work for the building over the west end of the Optimus Robotunnel will probably start soon. Time will tell.

Don't you mean the concrete walls rather than the glass walls which have been installed already?

I keep asking myself: “Just what is the purpose of that Multi Level Parking Structure?” Certainly no shortage of surface level parking!

🤔This is how things SHOULD be done - idea, then act upon it! 👍 - 🤔I wonder which office is mine🤗🐯🌱

Thank you!

Thanks Jeff

🙋‍♂️THANKS FOR THE UPDATE JEFF 💚💚💚

Thanks Jeff! Rooftop cable trays: Jeff, any chance we can get another low flight over the cable trays when you have time in order to check on the progress? Thanks. @ 13:05 (Right) Cables can be seen on the cable trays by the parapet wall. This likely goes on for several thousand feet. South expansion: @ 9:01 First precast wall panel being placed on the south expansion. Parking garage: @ 4:28 (Towards the right) Construction road by the pond closed on the west end. Replaced by a new road seen @ 4:52 (Bottom). This will allow them to continue construction on the two 8' diameter storm drains.

Have you noticed any grey interior cybertrucks or ones with the core wheels (other wheel options now)

Lovin' those stationary wide-angle time-lapse shots !

Cheers mate. Lovely bright day.

Hollywood couldn't make a better aerial video/view of this MONSTER of a building!!! Great job Jeff Roberts!!!!!

This is incredible. I thought it would emerge before the factory so that there was a way to connect the outer loop to the tunnel. They did this to save money and have the cars have a shorter trip to the finishing building, but it seems strange that it pops up outside the gigapress room.

Now that the first tunnel is complete I wonder if they'll start a tunnel for the model Y?

I wonder if prufrock will now go back down and reemerge at the new parking garage. Or maybe turn around and dig a second tunnel back where it came from?

I see the warehouse on wheels is down around 30+% from full capacity. Shows quite a slowdown.

Actually, here Prufrock 3 Emerges. Since it was the first time to appear, it EMERGED, NOT RE-Emerged. Had this been the second time it emerged, then you would be correct.

I’m curious as to why it took so long to create a relatively short tunnel since the equipment is designed to tunnel 1 mile per week… any one with some knowledge to share on that?

The prufrock can have a digging speed of 7 miles a day!! I wonder what project Giga Texas is working on now

If Optimus will enter production for internal use late this year, and enter volume production for external sales in 2025, Tesla has to be constructing the buildings and infrastructure for that production now. What are the Giga-Texas South Extension (SE) , new End Of Line (EOL) building, and The Boring Company (TBC) tunnel between them for? Perhaps Optimus production (SE) and Inventory/Programming/Shipping (EOL) and a protected and secure route for Optimi to walk themselves from SE to EOL. Tesla has already moved new vehicle staging from the east side to the west side, they obviously don't need an expensive tunnel to do it. The best part is no part. Why is the new EOL building so large, all on one floor, and with those loading docks at each end? Why is Tesla laying concrete pipe under the trailer parking lot south of the EOL building? They always use galvanized steel corrugated pipes under parking lots and roads. They've only used concrete pipe under buildings. Before they started foundations for the new SE building, they dug up all the corrugated pipes and replaced them with concrete pipes. They have finished the steelwork on the SE, yet there is still a large quantity of structural steel staged north of the EOL building. It appears a building will be built at (or over) the west end of the tunnel. Trailers now seem to be gradually clearing out of the west warehouse-on-wheels. There is an extremely logical explanation if you include Optimus robot production in the equation. Recent videos from Tesla and others (Sandy Munro, Farzad Mesbahi, Randy Kirk, etc.) have indicated Optimus will be used soon, if not already, on the Tesla production line(s) for beta testing purposes. After a very finite testing period, they will enter production, most likely in the main factory building at Giga Texas, it seems likely that's what the South Extension is for. "The part furthest from the glass" is for major water-cooled compute to be installed, according to permits Joe Tegtmeyer located. Hmmm! Compute for FSD training for all current models is already in place and in use and Tesla is "no longer compute constrained." What upcoming product needs this enormous new capacity? Optimi will be filling LOTS of different roles in different settings, so they will need lots of different neural network instances and many different sets of millions of different videos to be trained on. That additional compute capability is further confirmation that the SE is for Optimus production. Since they will weigh less than 130-140 pounds each, they would be subject to theft, plus they shouldn't be out in the weather before sale and delivery. Space in the main factory building is at a premium, especially for something as mundane as finished goods inventory, plus traffic is bad enough without adding shipping thousands of Optimus robots. Solution: build a tunnel from the production building to the new EOL inventory and shipping building. Build the first TBC tunnel with one end inside the Gigafactory at the end of the Optimus production line and the other end in the new Optimus Inventory/Shipping (OI/S) building. Manufacture Optimus robots in the factory. When assembly (with partially charged cells) and initial programming are done, they walk themselves through the Boring Company tunnel over to the OI/S building for final checkout, complete charging, and being inventoried. After they are sold, they are taken out of inventory, OTA updated with a neural net version appropriate for their future use(es), and loaded into semis for shipping, all inside the OI/S building. All unaffected by weather, secure, and safe, 24 hours a day. The big new west parking lot and large number of Superchargers are for further Model Y and Cybertruck production ramping and Model 2 production capacity as well as. Now we know more since the east end of the tunnel came up inside the new south extension building. Since the west end is in the open, south of the new EOL building, other possibilities are another building constructed over the west tunnel entrance after the tunnelling infrastructure is removed, or a secure, covered walkway is built from the west tunnel entrance to the EOL building. Given the amount of structural steel staged to the north, near Tesla Road, a new OI/S building seems most likely. The timing seems about right for Optimus production. If Optimus production grows exponentially and exceeds the tunnel capacity, they could build another parallel tunnel right next to the first one. When the 7-story parking garage goes into use, that will free up a large area of current parking lot land for additional factory buildings. If one or more are for additional Optimus production lines, more tunnels could be constructed from them as well.

Does any one know what percentage of daytime running electricity needs the solar on the roof provides? What about the battery farm across the road - is that to buffer the industrial peak time grid charges?

So much better that seeing the idiot wave his hands around and talking like an idiot

thanks Jeff

Thank you!

Only Elon Musk as CEO would you have a tunnel dug straight into the factory.

Merci👍👍👍

THANKS JEFF,FOR COVERING THIS 🤗💚💚💚

Thanks Jeff!

Would like to see a flight through the tunnel from factory to parking lot. what do yo think, Jeff ?

That tunnel is incredible!

Thanks Jeff Good on you for the shoutout to Airwave Dynamics and Brad Sloan. 0:17. Northend, road. Once the guardrail is completed this main north-south road section may re-opened to through traffic. It’s barely been used. 0:27. Casting, east. Baghouse slab. Large rectangular setdown in the slab that crosses from the completed slab to the rebar section. BIW/Casting door. Empty casting rack exiting what is the north entrance to BIW, through Casting. 0:39. BIW, loading dock ramp. Bottom right. Temporary HVAC gear. Cutout in the wall panel above the last loading dock. Same location and size as the cutout further south near the next group of loading docks at 0:45. 0:45. BIW, apron. Water storage trailers, pumps, and an excavator at the Sanitary Sewer Lift Station. 0:55. BIW, road. Trailer load of yellow wall sheeting. 1:03. BIW, roof. Platform. Different spools/reels/drums of cable since the last flypast. 1:31. Southend, south. Apron. Breakthrough into the subterranean fire escape passage. ‘Texas Cutting and Sawing’, a job for life. 1:52. Southend, west. Apron. Precast wall panel delivery. 2:06. GA, apron. Bottom right. New opening above the loading dock. Conveyor that was seen outside on the apron has been installed through the opening. 3:58. Tesla Road. Cybertruck parked in the staff parking lot. 5:00. Recycling yard. Bin load of bright purple stuff. I wonder what it is? 9:10. Southend, TBM. The birds have found it also. I wonder what they are foraging for. 11:19. Westside, Tunnel Project. Burnt out trailer. Another trailer was removed by forklift and telehandler a few days ago. A fortnight ago there was a drilling rig parked between the trailers. First indication of the tunnel being constructed was a soil test on what turned out to be the tunnel alignment. Just saying. 13:06. Battery, north. Apron. Orange telehandler driver opens the gate within leaving the cab.

I hope they redo and enlarge the Tesla sign on the roof or just go 100% panels.
