Tesla Gigafactory Texas 11 May 2022 Cyber Truck & Model Y Factory Construction Update (

[@JoeTegtmeyer]

KZbin is taking longer than normal to process the video in 4K. This is beyond my direct control but hopefully it'll be corrected soon.

[@jbbuzzable]

NP dude.

[@davefroman4700]

Later in the day pieces of a large crane arrived at the cathode plant. Including its weight plates.

[@thosoz3431]

Ah yes, lay the bitumen, paint the lines, wait a week, then dig it up. We use the same system here in Australia.

[@Bill_N_ATX]

My Grandfather used to say as they were building the highways in Texas that as soon as the finished them, they’d tear them up to put a water main down the middle.

[@jbell6642]

Between Mother’s Day and her birthday, your Mom must have loved the second week of May. My thoughts to you and her.

[@DessieDoolan]

Thanks Joe. 6:36. Starlink/SpaceX site. Silos/tanks. Size comparison with the green dumper bin. Someone more familiar with US dumper bin sizes can confirm. I think that green bin is 8’ x 8’ x 20’. Silos would be around 12' dia x 30' 3.6m x 9.1m. 10:32. South west corner. Green machine appears to be a pile driver. Some steel pile casings nearby. No spoil being/been removed. 10:55. South of the south pond. Steel stockpile. Confident this is a workshop where the steel is being modified, not a building site. Steel could be additional for Cathode and/or being modified for the likely design changes that have occurred in the 9 or so months since the steel arrived on site. And steel for elsewhere in the main building. Stamping Extension etc. 15:24. Old Cathode site. Fence has been shifted east. 17:53. Cathode. The continuous geopiering across the site is visible from the dimpled surface of the ground. A geopier every 4’ 1.2m or so. 22:20. East side parking. All the new trenching seems to be for electrical conduits. Street lighting (there’s currently none) or more destination chargers possibly. 22:50. East side parking. Saw-cutting another trench line. 25:20. Battery. Cantilevered a short bay of the scaffold out over the door opening. Apron, working on the top of the screw pile for the loading platform footing.

[@DavidJohnson-tv2nn]

22:20 Too bad they didn't lay the conduit BEFORE paving the lot. I'm not an expert. Just seems like the logical thing to do.

[@patrickkenny2077]

10:32 looks like soil cores to me, short length gives it away.

[@Dwayne.Shea.231]

@22:20 I initially thought more destination chargers but they don't line up with any of the parking lines, unless they are going to redo them. (which is totally possible) @10:55 I agree, in Brads video you can see a number of the yard trucks in the area. I assume it is going to the cathode plant. @15:24 Will this become the permanent trailer parking area or do you think they will locate elsewhere on site. The one at giga berlin has parking for over 400 trailers

[@ChrisHplusland]

Maybe all that steel at the south end is for a bridge across the river

[@DessieDoolan]

@@patrickkenny2077 Any idea why they might want core samples?

[@mikek4024]

Another great flight, video Joe! May your mother continue to rest in peace and enjoy watching her son do some great work!!

[@glennnile7918]

Great Music. Great job as always.

[@andreandre1051]

Merci👍👍👍

[@MrTubacle]

Here's to moms! My mom's anniversary was today and she would have been nearly 94. Thanks for the great videos. I also like the music that gets me tapping to the beat and waiting for the finale with the "Banjo Joe" signature song.

[@gridcoregilry666]

May God bless your mom

[@JP_813]

Thanks Joe. Have a great week

[@JoeTegtmeyer]

Thanks J P. Hopefully KZbin will get the video into 4K soon so it'll look even better.

[@tedg1609]

Happy Birthday Mom :)

[@paulstubbs7678]

7:16 The size of that 'S' is crazy big, I've watched heaps of flyovers, but this angle really shows the size - enormous.

[@pfcrow]

22:58 For the new entrance, I would expect to see the door frames before they start with any glass.

[@TheElectricMan]

thanks joe for the drone update

[@eclecticmemes]

23:44 Well we KNOW that Tesla is making Electric Semi's this year. And we therefore can assume that at a minimum, Tesla will be running their trucks between Nevada and Texas and probably Fremont too. My guess/theory is that this location is where Tesla is going to install the Semi charging stations. They have to have them. So here is where they will put them. We shall see.

[@jameshoffman552]

5:12 The steel is being laid out on a patch big enough for a narrow building between the future road and he river. That would be a good location for a showroom and visitor center, with large glass windows looking south over the river.

[@royh6526]

Would that be legal in Texas?

[@jameshoffman552]

11:27 The markings are for 6 loading sections, each with 3 rows accommodating transporters of up to 10 cars, so 180 units total, or a cycle rate of ~6 batches/day once a 1k/day production rate is reached

[@tashi282]

the mystery is who's getting those cars-my Tesla employee friend has no idea.

[@sammyk874]

I think carriers max out at 9 vehicles and for the ones we've seen I have not seen them load 9 yet.

[@eugeniustheodidactus8890]

Shout out to your mom, Joe. It took me a few years to get over my mom's passing at age 97. I miss having that ww2 generation in my life.

[@JoeTegtmeyer]

Thank you! Losing a patent is never easy and hopefully the good memories persist.

[@waynethefridgemanosborne8984]

great flight over the aera . regards to you on your mother's birthday. keep smiling everyone

[@JoeTegtmeyer]

Thx!

[@arthursalazar8993]

Can you please find out, how many cars are being built in Texas. No KZbinr has been able to give us a number.

[@kantameena9668]

Happy Birthday Mrs Tegtmeyer.

[@jorgenjohnson2168]

awesome

[@JoeTegtmeyer]

Thx!

[@DavidJohnson-tv2nn]

@ 11:00 The steel is probably headed across Tesla road to the cathode site. Or to finish building the bridge crane rails in the center section of the main building that they left unfinished months ago.

[@DavidJohnson-tv2nn]

@ 16:26 (Right side) Good to see them doing erosion control early in the project. Another temporary pond?

[@johnsteele5836]

I'm a bit confused...how many times do they dig up a parking lot? (see 23:05) My years in construction must have been inadequate to understand this type of construction roadmap of critical pathways? Not to mention the carbon footprint? Hello? What am I missing?

[@boostav]

The stormwater management has been appalling since the very beginning, I've stopped being surprised.

[@shadowmancer7040]

I'm kinda sad about the temporary pond. I thought it was pretty

[@farmerinchico]

Nice tribute to Giga Berlin with Tobias Lindh music!

[@coreycoddington8132]

Happy birthday Mom!!🎂🍾🍾..97

[@coreycoddington8132]

Joe the new chimneys going in look like they're a bit larger diameter, maybe the 12K cybertruck Giga press??

[@DavidJohnson-tv2nn]

@ 13:52 Good to see they built a parallel dirt road so traffic driving between storage yards doesn't have to drive up on the main road, tracking mud and dirt with it.

[@karubemanabu4341]

Happy birthday to your mom. My mother is 100 years this month. ha ha ha.

[@BigBoneESB]

Do we have a rough estimate of how many consumer Model Ys are being produced per day and if a single one has been delivered to a non-Tesla employee? No rush just with war, recession fears and China lockdown any extra Berlin/Austin delivery will help Tesla's predictable shipment fall.

[@Leopold5100]

excellent

[@davidharris7249]

HB to your Mum! @6:17 I see more lumpy things under the roof ... is this another casting machine? Do you think they are installing machines for folding CT bodies (gigabrakes), as yet?

[@DanTastic66]

Regards to your mom's birthday Joe!

[@DavidJohnson-tv2nn]

@ 23:10 Are they surrounding the slot drain with aircrete or regular concrete?

[@charleshaggard4341]

I'm beginning to wonder if this drilling under the river will be for the high voltage lines. They wouldn't be needing more than one shaft for a gas line and something like this was done at Lake o the Pines after a fatal accident involving a sailboat contacting the high lines.

[@Bill_N_ATX]

No, I sincerely doubt that they put the high voltage lines underground. There is just no need for it. I’m thinking reclaimed water lines for the regional wastewater treatment site across the river. But that’s just a wild ass guess.

[@DavidJohnson-tv2nn]

@ 21:17 Could have saved a lot of clean up time if they did the demolition my way 💥 :)

[@DavidJohnson-tv2nn]

@ 22:20 Looks like they are now ripping up the newly paved lot for conduit trenches? Unbelievable!

[@ChrisHplusland]

That has to be one expensive parking lot eh lol

[@shannon8560]

I don’t know who But someone actually needs to hear this, You have to to stop saving all your money and venture into investing some if you really want financial stability

[@Bashar245]

Same here, there's no doubt Crypto investment is the key to future wealth, with my current profit of $59,000 made from my investment with Mr Lark Davis trading platform I'm totally convinced, He is the best trading broker I have worked with and his strategies are so easy to adapt. He is such a blessing to me especially in this current dip

[@jozicazanic]

Wow I'm just shocked you mentioned expert Lark Davis, Thought I was the only one trading with her

[@amyparker1418]

@@jozicazanic I started investing in Cryptocurrency a little while ago and I've come to realise nothing beats first hand experience... Investing with Lark Davis has been the best experience ever.

[@Qassem365]

I think Mr Lark is the right person to start trading Cryptocurrency with.. He knows his way around the Crypto world..

[@kevincage2282]

That's right, I earned $17,000 a week. God bless Lark Davis, He has been a blessing to my family

[@gtbproductions1]

It's odd that they don't have permanent lights in the parking lots for safety

[@hillbillyintheasia6122]

get solar power parking lot light

[@BrianWestSeattle]

It's a shame you never credit the artists who created the music you use. Naming them seems only fair, and literally the very LEAST you could do for the composers contributing to your channel.
