Progress @ Giga Semi Factory - 8 Days Later

[@christopherrubicam4474]

Thanks, Zangeler, for keeping us up to date on the progress here. I have high hopes for the Tesla Semi as an innovative product and a profit driver for Tesla.

Great video, Zanegler! I always appreciate your flying and it’s great to see the final red beam up!

[@peterjohn5834]

Great video Zane

[@Doc_Dolan]

As usual, a very fine job! FYI: The placement of the final "main structural member" ceremony is known in the business as the "Topping Out" ceremony. Most always a fully paid day for the ironworkers, and a party afterwards!

Aw man I didn't get the invite to the afterparty. lol

[@reengineerit]

Good stuff! Thanks.

[@ZaneglerTeslaSemiStalker-vt3or]

Appreciate the comment!

[@donwiechers]

Thank you

the blue sheetroc has a fiberglass scrim coating. It has racking resistance and is weather resistant.

There is a certain beauty in that roof shot before the insulation goes on it…

[@rdavidmurphy1]

Good video, but if you insist on labelling sections by letters or by compass direction you must use insets OR 90% of those watching have NO IDEA where you are talking about. Just use right left front back from the camera position please

[@sagecoach]

The stamping machine manufacture schedule may be controlling the construction of the building for it, in the overall plan. This does not mean it is delaying anything. It would be interesting to see the critical path in the plan. Good luck with that.

8:10 The giant door seems to be blocked by steel bars. Any idea when garage doors will be installed on the docking bays? Great job Zanegler.

[@AlanMullett]

Those steel bars are the door, it just doesn't have the wall panels attached yet.

[@robertn2951]

@AlanMullett thank you

[@borincod]

So.. the truck just stands? It seems to be planted there just for curious eavesdroppers

[@upsill]

Thanks, Zangeler ! Can yoiu elaborate a bit about these 2 "twin projects" on the other side of the road to the north where is located your car ?

[@ZaneglerTeslaSemiStalker-vt3or]

They will be identical to many of the industrial building in the area, including the one at 550 Milan Avenue where the current Tesla pilot semi line is located. They use prefab concrete walls and they really will provide a contrast to how Tesla adopted a different technique with BZI.

[@robkeshav800]

Thanks for the update Zangeler. Appreciate your hard work. Is it true that they are not producing any more Semis at the pilot plant now? Wonder why. Will Tesla extend the GN plant as originally planned for 4680 battery production? It will be a game changer when Tesla starts pumping out the Semis from this plant.

[@ZaneglerTeslaSemiStalker-vt3or]

I believe they are still cobbling a few new Tesla semi's on the pilot line using existing supplier parts they have on hand but not ordering any new parts. I drove by the west side of the pilot line on my way to film this video and it did look like some additional tractors were parked there.

[@batchint]

when they get round to roads for mexico it’s a major operation in itself

[@TheodoreGelber]

Is that Big Dog Semi a roller ? It does not look like there is a battery stack behind the cab.

[@stevegolubic6399]

The batteries are under the cab which adds a low cg amongst other performance enhancements

[@enoch1680]

This thing is pretty big to be turning out 50,000 trucks. Makes one wonder, could it also house an unboxed cybercab factory . Things that make you go hmmmm.

[@robkeshav800]

Could they also make 4680 battery here for the Semis?

[@PeterVandermeer-w8c]

Maybe a second line for box trucks?

[@ZaneglerTeslaSemiStalker-vt3or]

Tesla did say there is something else involved here that they have not announced.

[@jeffkrupke3810]

Sure stamping machines have super long lead times.

[@MrFoxRobert]

👋👍

[@SjMk1.]

My guy, ya really gotta fade the music in and out, the straight cut is too abrupt 😅

[@ZaneglerTeslaSemiStalker-vt3or]

I know, I know. You finally motivated me to ask Grok how to do this using Adobe Premiere. There is no easy way to do this but by adding a 'transition' to the soundtrack, I think I can get this done. Let me know if this is better on my next video.

[@PlanetEarth3141]

One cannot help but know that the ever increasing speed with which Elon can build factories is hard to believe. On the other hand it matches everything he does. Which is the main reason that America, the world 🌎 and humanity's evolution is progressing faster and faster. These are fantastic days. 🤔🧐💯🛰️ But there sre dome things that are immune to progress, improvement and time; autocorrect, Democrats and morons.
