[@benguthrie49]

Especially good one. I found the overlays of information interesting and useful.

[@paulstubbs7678]

Surprised by the solar canopy, I didn't think the sides would connect, I thought they'd be all stand-alone. Nice to see the extent of the land Tesla is planning to expand to, I didn't think it was so extensive, I thought the recently cleared area was the extent of it.

[@Potet578]

You are the best... what an amazing job....

[@two_tier_gary_rumain]

Yes, I thought that too but it makes sense to cover all of the road underneath with nothing going to waste.

[@davidmiller6010]

Awesome job Tobi! Sorry I haven't been stopping by as much recently. The place has really changed a lot, and you display it well. And your choice of music is superb! Your flying and editing skills have come a long way since the early days. I appreciate what you have done to document this epic project. Thank you kind sir!

[@nanaimoshoerepair]

Very well researched, very informative. Danke Tobias

[@TamasVarga-VatartPhoto]

Amazing quality of recurring videos. Real source of actual information instead of zillion of “rumour” channels without evidence..

[@sjokomelk]

I am going to visit the factory next Friday. Thank you so much for all your videos preparing me for this for the last few years.

[@MrFoxRobert]

Thank you!

[@hartertobak2186]

Just one more thing. I like the subtitle idea. Maybe you can use the KZbin Subtitles. This way around they appear in the Transcript and have a timecode. Maybe it's for the most viewers not necessary, just as a thought :)

[@karin.mathias3985]

Vielen Dank, klasse Einblicke u. Neuigkeiten 👍

[@ChristianBlueChimp]

Thanks Tobias!

[@jamesdubben3687]

Thanks, the overlays of the expansion were very helpful. Surprised by the fact a round-a-bout is being replaced by traffic lights.

[@gonzooxx]

Good visibility today, at 15.06 it is possible to see the Berlin TV tower, close to 30 kilometers away. Thanks Tobias for the drone shots.

[@arnomarkmann6118]

sehr gute Übersicht - Danke Tobias

🙋‍♂️DANKE TOBIAS, FÜR DIE UPDATE UND COOL 😎 MUSIK 🎵💚💚💚

[@julianreverse]

Der Cybertruck steht aktuell noch bis Freitag auf der Intersolar / Smarter E Europe Stand C2.231 in München auf dem Tesla Energy Stand. Bin gestern drin gesessen, ist schon irgendwie interessant das Auto.

[@TobiasLindh]

In der Mall of Berlin konnte man sich leider nicht reinsetzen. Hätte ich auch gerne gemacht.

[@julianreverse]

@@TobiasLindh Ist in München auch nicht möglich, durften wir beim Aufbau aber mal ganz spontan.

As ever Tobias great work

[@josepecanocano1587]

Thanks you Tobias, video fantastic, from Spain

[@sicher-2323]

Wieder gut gemacht 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Potet578]

Beautiful job....

[@esmirri]

interesting... first time I see Trucks arrive with cars to park, instead trucks load cars to leave the gigafactory. Thanks for the videos!!!

[@hartertobak2186]

Have to comment as well. This colored Areas are really aweseome. Thank you very much for your content. Just a little question: Did Tesla every approach you and complained about your drone-flights? I think it's not good or bad for Tesla. It just gives you an Overview about the project, but i just wonder what they said to you. The Footage is really impressive, calm and relaxing at the same time. Anyway, thanks for your effort :)

[@TobiasLindh]

Tesla does not complain about my drone flights. They just don't want me to fly over the fenced factory property.

[@Mrbfgray]

Love the broader prospective.

[@ASDFG8949]

Bei 3:30 im Kiefernwald neben der Straße könnte Tesla und der Energieversorger gut 2 oder 3 Windkraftanlagen Bauen finde ich. Der Strom aus der Windenergie kann Komplett im Produktionswerk Verbraucht werden.

[@b.r.7126]

Naja könnte man aber die Genehmigung dauert aber 7 Jahre haha

[@amartart]

Hi Tobias, I saw the new building around 12:51 what is it for? Also, any guesses to how many employees at the factory are now driving Teslas? Also, did you see the Cybertruck? As usual, a very nice flyover!!!! Oh, I see the solar canopy being built over the charging stations too!! I haveent seen any new graphics painted there latiely, either!!

[@markkennard861]

I know that music .. cant remember... please enlighten.. grear video. :)

[@hal3137]

The factory must be doing ok , still spending money.

[@Spieleanleitung]

Für die neue Ampelkreuzung auf der L23 lassen die sich aber mal wieder besonders viel Zeit zum Leidwesen der Anwohner. 2 Monate und die sind noch bei den Erdarbeiten👎. Zum Glück ist der Fahrradweg noch frei.

[@TobiasLindh]

Naja, die sind voll im Zeitplan. Aber laut Zeitplan dauert der Umbau auch noch bis Ende 2024.

[@Spieleanleitung]

​​@@TobiasLindhLaut Zeitplan ja, aber muss man bei den Anwohnern dadurch noch mehr Skepsis gegenüber Tesla hervorrufen? Bei der Fahrbahnsanierung der L23 bei Spreenhagen passiert seit 2 Wochen auch nichts mehr nach dem abfräsen der Fahrbahn. Wenn 2 Wochen an einer Baustelle nichts passiert, stimmt es im System nicht, aber das ist den Planern ja egal, wohnen da ja nicht.

[@TobiasLindh]

​@@Spieleanleitung Ja, ich war auch vom Zeitplan etwas schockiert. Auch die Sanierung der Fahrbahn der Autobahn soll jetzt wieder ewig dauern. Und da ist jetzt seit Wochen die Baustelle eingerichtet und ich hab da seitdem noch keinen arbeiten sehen.

[@Spieleanleitung]

​​​@@TobiasLindh Die Akzeptanz für Tesla steigt dadurch natürlich nicht, mein Vater verkauft in Spreenhagen Hühnereier von 600 Hühnern. Durch die Sperrung ist natürlich viel weniger Durchgangsverkehr und damit viel weniger Kunden. Das die Fahrbahn gemacht werden muss, ist jedem klar, nur wenn auf einer Baustelle 2 Wochen nichts passiert und daran Existenzen wie in Spreenhagen, Quick-Shop oder Hollys Cafe in Hartmannsdorf... hängen, trägt das nicht zur sowieso mangelnden Akzeptanz von Tesla bei. Na mal schauen. Bin nächste Woche mal wieder in der Heimat, da werde ich mir das mal anschauen. Wie gesagt, zum Glück ist der Fahrradweg nach Fangschleuse noch frei.

[@two_tier_gary_rumain]

To be fair, it looks like a lot of work. The area is quite extensive, judging by this video. By the way, where is the bike path with respect to the road?

[@jespersaunte]

Great footage of the surrounding forest. I would have loved to see the protesters living in trees.. Are they still there?

[@pinkelephants1421]

Very interesting to see Tesla's approach to the solar canopy design. It's something I hadn't expected given their usual limited design. By limited, I mean they normally only bother to cover the area immediately above parking spaces. It does seem a bit over engineered though. Could it be something to do with strength of the wind in this locale? Either way, it's good to see and I will be keen to see if they expand right across their outdoor parking, storage, and freight areas; there's HUGE potential for clean, reliable on-site renewable electricity generation. Tesla makes a big deal out of using 100% renewable electricity at its supercharging stations, some self-generated, the rest from PPA's from renewables generators. But for the life of me, I (cannot) understand why they continually & unfathomably fail to do the obvious and make full use of their often gargantuan sites by generating more of their own electricity from wind & solar, particularly solar + storage. There HAS to be several GW of untapped ⚡ generation capacity & storage going to waste across their entire property portfolio. If I were a shareholder, I'd be wanting to know why. Paying out good money to others for electricity that could otherwise be self-generated, hits the bottom line, makes Tesla's products less affordable to the masses, undermines Tesla's mission, & lowers dividends to shareholders.

[@two_tier_gary_rumain]

I know the forested area is all plantation with the wood, when harvested, intended for paper production. But what was there before? Was it all farmland?

[@andreandre1051]

[@peterpan2748]

Was genau wird dann denn an der Autobahn A10 instand gesetzt? Der komplette Fahrbahnbelag auf beiden Richtungen?

[@sentient3906]

Is municipal recycling built by Tesla?

[@rtz549]

Why don't they build the rail yard next to the tracks in the existing cleared area

[@ansgartrust6536]

Did you see how much space Hutto has?

[@sjokomelk]

DB is rebuilding the entire rail mainline, and trains can't do 90 degree turns. So you need to put the railroad tracks in a big curve to get where you need.

[@karnasaur2]

Is Giga Berlin getting a BSS?

[@pinkelephants1421]

Two things: Firstly, despite all of the noise from locals about 'cutting down the forest', I wonder just how many of them actually use it, and of those that do, how many of them do so on a regular basis. Colour me cynical, but I'm betting that the numbers don't come anywhere near what would account for all of the racket objectors are making. Secondly, that 'forest' is a commercial plantation and would have eventually been clear cut anyway. There's nothing (remotely) natural about it. Tobias, if Tesla hadn't bought the property & had plans to expand it's ownership into the rest of the plantation, how long would it have been before the owners clear felled it ot make cardboard?

[@two_tier_gary_rumain]

Yes, the entire forest area is a plantation with the wood intended for paper production. Was wondering what was there before. Probably farmland.

[@pinkelephants1421]

@@two_tier_gary_rumain I'm guessing that it was indeed probably farmland and, as is happening in so many countries, the farming community is rapidly ageing, farming is difficult to make ends meet, let alone a profit, and with the younger generation frequently being unwilling to take on 'the family farm' preferring city life instead, the owner or owners, if it was more than one farm as seems likely, thought why not get out now and enjoy the cash. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the plantation was formerly made up of many small farming units. Traditionally, those would have made a living for their owners, sufficient to support a family, possibility the extended family. But those days are largely a feature of history & scale is now usually a key for farming success, preferably done using regenerative/permaculture techniques & not modern industrial farming so harmful to soil, water, air quality & as climate change drivers.

[@two_tier_gary_rumain]

@@pinkelephants1421 Yep. Although all the farmer protests in Holland and other places in Europe suggest that farming is still an ongoing concern for some.

[@pinkelephants1421]

@@two_tier_gary_rumain Absolutely. I come from a farming background and even back then, making a profit was pretty tough in some years. For many famers it's almost more of a way of life rather than a living, something you have to love because most of you won't make any real money out of it. There will always be farmers, just not as many as in previous demand centuries; we all have to eat.

[@suchdevelopments]

😃Hi Tobias, Good day from GOONELLABAH, NSW! Exciting news: in 108 sleeps, I'll embark on a six-month journey to circumnavigate Australia in two CYBERTRUCKs and a Tesla Semi, covering 22,000 kilometres starting in October 2024. This adventure isn't just about the miles and the impact we can create. I'm looking to build a team of six to join me, with a special call-out for a camera and sound crew to document our journey. Women like my wife Kate are encouraged to apply as they bring relatability and the necessary driving expertise. - 😄Ian Cleland

Automatisierte unbemannte Lkw-/Schienentransportsysteme müssen so schnell wie möglich vollständig auf Flughäfen und auf Bahnstrecken eingeführt werden, um die Effizienz der Logistik zu steigern.

[@gabormark2294]

There is so much empty space and already talking about further expansion. Do not get it even I am a Tesla supporter

[@HenryLoenwind]

To get the train station there, you'd have to invent a train that can do 90° turns. Most of the expansion is for the rail loop, the rest is a storage area for the train station.

Oh I'm not sure of that. Given all the "environmental" protests that have centered on this factory I can't say there's a lot of credibility to sentiments like that. 🤔

[@cardcasacardona9083]

Tesla es realmente ecológica? Me parece que solo es un negocio...aprovechando lo eco. Si quiere serlo que haga coches baratos para la gran mayoría, de momento es solo para ecosnobs. Y esto no va ha cambiar el ciclo climático.

[@bfelten1]

Replacing a big, lovely roundabout with traffic lights? Typical US thinking: They never learn in traffic school how to navigate a roundabout, so they hate them-except in Carmel, IN. Roundabouts move traffic more efficiently and reduce the number of fatalities and serious injury accidents. They work because of their safety record, compatibility with the environment, aesthetics, and ability to make it easier for pedestrians and bicyclists to navigate.

[@TobiasLindh]

Tesla is not involved in the roundabout. So it's not a US thing. The calculations of the traffic planners showed that the roundabout wouldn't be able to handle the expected traffic in the future.

[@bfelten1]

@@TobiasLindh So there's US thinking in Germany as well. What else is new? A roundabout can always handle much more traffic than a traffic light - with less idling in long queues and without the high added cost of the lights and their maintenance. The more traffic, the longer the queues at a traffic light, that's a well known fact.

[@TobiasLindh]

Their argument is, that it's not only the amount of traffic, but the uneven distribution of traffic. They did not want to remove the roundabout, but they calculated a few different versions of possible roundabouts and traffic lights, and according to their calculations the traffic light can handle the traffic at this specific location best. They said, in the roundabout versions, there would be long queues, because the cars on one road wouldn't be able to enter the roundabout easily, due to the traffic flow of other roads. I do not know if they where missing something, or if their calculation software is bad. I can only tell you what they told me.

[@2nd3rd1st]

@@TobiasLindh Thank's for getting so involved and doing such great in-depth research about this whole area, Tobe.

[@two_tier_gary_rumain]

Roundabouts aren't efficient when there's more than one lane due to the lane changing problem. We have them all over the place here in Sydney (Aust.) and they're always one lane. For higher capacity, traffic lights are always used.
