Boring tunnel: Looks to be making good progress, approximately 140m advance (10m per day). 7 people working on the segment preparation so they must be expecting better progress. Conveyor belt full of spoil, this is not normal, usually the belt is cleared before being stopped to avoid high loading or spoil raveling on re-start. Possibly a problem with the belt or belt drive. Another 60m or so and they will have to stop to extend the belt.
That was my thought . You don't try and start a loaded belt. To much mass to accelerate.
140m. Google earth shows that to be just into the median between the south and north lanes.
I'm measuring from the back of the tail shield.
It's a good thing that the belt system was built using Tesla's electric motors then. Surely they have enough torque and power to spare to start from zero even if fully loaded!
@@eclecticmemesI very much doubt it was built with Tesla motors. The TBM wasn’t (very clearly visible on its delivery. Almost certainly ABB motors (4x300kw). I assume the belt system was purchased from a belt manufacturer, with the right specification motors and gearing for a conveyor belt drive.
So, where do you think the tunnel will come up? Inside the building?! 😗
Thanks Brad
0:29. Southend south, apron. I always have a chuckle when I see someone working at ground level in a 80’ boom-lift.
1:25. GA, diagonal corner. Level 3. Window infill stud wall demolished. Suggests some interconnection between the buildings, which in turn would suggest at least some of the Southend extension will be production.
2:46. Pond. Getting smaller. As suggested by Gig0Surf the plan may to be make the pond shallower.
8:49. Westside, Tunnel Project. Grout batch plant. Shifting the containerized water tanks.
9:46. Westside. Far west. Blue water main. Meter installation at the likely point of connection to the city water supply.
10:33. Tesla Road north. Temporary function centre. Mobile superchargers packed up and gone. A successful day apparently.
11:39. Casting diagonal corner, apron. Line of trenches being cut in the pavement shows that the new ductbanks will be west of the existing ductbank in the parking lot. Line extends to the road.
There’ll be a crossing or intersection of ductbanks at some point.
12:10. Casting, east. Apron. Travis County site lists a 5 May permit for a permit revision of the Casting Baghouse Foundations might indicate the reason work has stopped outside Casting. If indeed the works outside Casting are definitely for the Baghouse.
14:55. Far north, storage. Bottom. Shiny things. I thought windows initially. Seems to be polished stainless steel. Lots more at 15:04.
15:20. Far north. Gilbert Rd. Pipeline works. Sanitary Sewer force main. Unrelated to Tesla, other than possibly being located in an easement on Tesla property.
0:29 Guess he didn't want to get a 6' ladder. Sounds like something I would do. In the past, if someone wanted 5 bricks I would get the forklift to move the whole pallet to them rather then bend over and pick them up. 😊
@@DavidJohnson-tv2nn 0:29. I'm sure he had just worked his way down the glazing unit joint from top to bottom. Looks a bit comical, that's all.
0:29 It does look funny but it looks like a ladder there would be unstable. Besides, if the lift is available, why not use it?
2:46 Because they are using the pond as a rainwater collection point, won't they need an outflow pipe to the river to be dug under the road they are constructing? My guess is that they are just changing the shape to be easily maintained. I would expect that Giga Texas would have a mosquito problem with the stagnant ponds. Can anyone confirm?
I know in the past Joe stated that there was going to be a new cafeteria next to the new construction… maybe some of the wall removal is access from the addition to the cafeteria?
@ 2:45 This pond is staying. The work they've done is clearly just taking the depth out of it, for safety and creating an engineered detention pond.
I sure hope you are wrong on this. The pond adds natural beauty. If it's made shallow to the point like it is @ 2:45 (Bottom right)... There won't be a pond. At least not a pond with water in it. Just a shallow hole in the ground. I hope the fill goes no farther than the point where they removed vegetation from the embankment. They've paved and flattened everything else in sight!
@@DavidJohnson-tv2nn It wouldn't be the fist time i've been wrong, but it seem clear. There are new culverts at the other end, which mean it has a watery future and the depth and form of the banks look clearly de/retention pond like. It may be a retention pond, like the cyber-pond, normally with water. Time will tell.
How much of the existing 'nature' will remain is also to be seen. At some point an eco-paradise is turning up and I expect much of the site to be beautified, at no small expense.
@@timboatfield I hope you are right about the site being beautiful at some point. The guy who owns the place talked about an "eco-paradise". But his actions speak louder than words. So far.... They have paved nearly every sq. ft. in God awful concrete and asphalt. Concrete in itself isn't bad. But when there is almost zero landscaping, that's what I have a problem with. As for the pond....
I don't care if they reshape it, as long as it continues to have water. This is what to avoid @ 12:44 an ugly mud pit with eroded sides! Because they couldn't be bothered to even finish erosion control or landscaping.
@@DavidJohnson-tv2nn Sorry, I'm not sure you know what you are talking about, either with this site specifically or factory sites generally. It is a factory with 10s of 1000s of people working there and even so have built on less that a fifth of their land there. Leaving most of it to nature. You seem to have unrealistic expectations and a generally negative bias. This factory IS still a work in progress.
@@timboatfield The berlin site is also a factory, landscaped and generally much cleaner looking. The point here not that there is much more untouched land. It is the massive amount of paving with little landscaping around the developed part. So if it could be done in Berlin, it could be done here. Don't know for sure, but have a feeling that they were required to do a better job in Berlin.
Great to see so many Cybertrucks 😊. One is in Australia at the moment being displayed at Tesla showrooms - very excited to see it in the metal and great that Tesla is trying spread interest, hopefully RHD versions are not too far away
Thanks Brad!
South end:
@ 1:25 Opening created in windowed area of existing wall that was previously sealed.
@ 1:30 Pumping water out of HDD bore excavation.
South end cooling structure:
@ 2:40 Some steel mounting plates showing through the newly poured concrete deck.
River road:
@ 2:44 Guessing that they will fill the pond to the point where they cleared vegetation from the embankment.
EOL facility:
@ 5:58 (Bottom right) Stacks of conduit. Likely to extend the duct-bank from the vaults seen here 7:08 to the west.
@ 9:58 Looks like the water supply will be coming from the residential neighborhood to the west.
New power supply to the factory:
@ 10:49 (Bottom right) Newly placed vault. It will be interesting to see if the duct-banks continue straight or make a turn here to the west to meet up with the duct-banks on the other side of the easement. My guess is that it will turn here.
@ 11:46 (Right, by the building. New vault placed. Unusual because I expected them to remove and replace the old vaults. Guess they will just fill in and build a new duct-bank right through the old vault? If they keep the other vault, changes will have to be made for 12 conduits.
Merci👍👍👍
I would think they need to build canopies on the top of the parking structure, and anywhere that cars are going to sit in the open. The summer heat is going to be a problem.
No, they wont. The lighting poles are already installed.
@@CiaranKing Could they install them below the lightning poles?
@@wkmingus The lights wouldnt be much use then! Anyway, Texans are well used to parking in the sun.
Thank you!
Thanks Brad
Good stuff. Really enjoy your dedicated work.
The last few hours CZcams has been a nightmare in regards to uploading... i'm glad it's all fixed now.
7:30 quality not a priority. Driver takes a short-cut on the figure 8 turning test, and judging by the tire/drip marks on the pavement, it is common practice to not complete the full hard turn test.
Don't know. Does the first turn right then hard left turn at 7:25 not test the same?
@@Gig0Surf Yes, his entry into the ‘8’ tests the ability to make a hard left, but by taking the shortcut he’s not verifying that the vehicle can go from a hard right to a hard left within a short time. Actually, I’m surprised they don’t add a few traffic signs and use FSD on the test track. That would also test the sensors, not just the accelerator, brakes, steering, ride comfort, and noise. Plus make testing objective rather than subjective.
@@Frank-gt7me He may not be testing " hard right to a hard left within a short time". Likely just listing for unusual sounds. The lines on the pavement are likely just a loose guide.
Maybe best to dredge that river to insure flow beyond factory ? #Tesla
River seawall ?
That intro music reminds me of the movie 'The Exorcist,' lol.
Another permit for the south expansion....
Tesla - GFTX - S Expansion

Is this related to the data center or is it for something else?
These people all look like they're doing their jobs as expected of normal people but, I'd sure be looking earlier than otherwise for a new one since I see the disrespect with which my suddenly-fired colleagues have been treated. One should try to avoid extended periods of unemployment between jobs.
As I've said for some time now, I would never even consider working for Tesla, or buy any of their products.
@@DavidJohnson-tv2nn Well, you're just an abject hater, which is fine as it is your right to be so. I think the Tesla products are splendid, even though I am not a 'climate change' believer. I believe that's a political scam. However, we need to clean up our environment. The substitute solar and EV product lines are impressive and competent product for home as well as transport and very high tech improvement on oil.
Fortunately the construction workers are not Tesla employees. I hear all kinds of nightmare stories out of Tesla, Amazon, FB, Google, etc. These folks I talk to aren't even slackers or have those do nothing for $100k jobs. Just a different culture with some of these newer companies.
@@lasvegasbound6167 Climate change itself is not a scam because well, the climate does change. With that said, all the stuff surrounding it is mostly BS. Just a way to make some money. Hey, it's capitalism, the American way.
@@lasvegasbound6167 "Well, you're just an abject hater,"
Well... There's a reason why!
Thanks Brad! I’ve stopped watching Joe’s channel since it seems he’s lost interest in showing videos of the Tesla factory.
