Sweet video with my morning coffee. Thank you Airwave!

[@AirwaveDynamics]

Thanks too! 🙂👍

[@josepecanocano1587]

Thanks you form video, fantastic, from Spain

[@robkeshav800]

Great video! I could watch for hours.

[@AirwaveDynamics]

🙂👍

[@srruth]

Very well shot and produced! Thanks for all the scouting intelligence.

[@AirwaveDynamics]

I appreciate the feedback~

[@ohtoah]

Hands down, the best videos of Gigga Texas.

[@AirwaveDynamics]

Thank you! 👍

[@stephenj6837]

The best videos? What are you smoking? This bozo sucks! Flying too high all the time and never shows much of anything really!

[@shazam6274]

Thanks for your patience and showing a complete story in each segment: beginning, middle, end. Really neat!

[@AirwaveDynamics]

Thanks for the feedback! 👍

[@Travlinmo]

I love the idea of the tunnel to make the land more efficient.

[@dadman9492]

Following the train into position with all the track changes and pin point accuracy at the end is fascinating - thank you.

[@AirwaveDynamics]

Thank you as well! Here's one where I spent half the day there (in case you haven't seen it ;-)) kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6G8l2yArJKZmpY

[@dadman9492]

Awesome!!

[@lukeknowles5700]

The logistics of crew and vehicle transport at the railyard is mind-numbing.

[@mattsparks5957]

There should be a cyber truck coming out of there soon about every 30 seconds

[@terrysmith8655]

Great video! Unless I'm mistaken, that was a nice touch showing the same truck you followed down the highway, as it pulled into the train yard from your drone. It sure looked like the same one :)

[@AirwaveDynamics]

Yes thanks! I believe it was😉 The speed limit (on most) of that highway is 80, so arrived there and got up in the air pretty quickly.....likely capturing the exact same rig.

6:06. Southend, Cooling Tower. Plywood deck removed from under the fan blades.

[@Gig0Surf]

Great catch, them moving precast road bed into the tunnel

[@hardernl8893]

If they move one piece at a time, instead of loading multiple road beds on the tunneling-cars used previously, the end July tgt seems unattainable to me.

[@sammyk874]

@@hardernl8893 Only ten days left so that ship has already sailed.

[@AirwaveDynamics]

Almost captured the entire process....needed a battery change... Arrived back, nothing was going on for quite some time -- flew over to the staging area for a bit and when I passed back over, they were already inside. Btw, just remembered those precast road beds were made at the Boring Co's facility when I was there a couple months ago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaHbkpyha56mgbMsi=5ECGSd4U75HSXozx&t=420

[@Gig0Surf]

@@hardernl8893 Yeah, doesn't seem that efficient. The swinging around transporting them with the lifting jig can't be helping!? Even using a second telehandler with forks to bring in stacks [dropping it and going to get more] while this one carefully positions/places them [working back towards this entrance] seems like it would be better!? Maybe they are just getting the first couple in place so the positioning telehandler can work from / drive on top of the roadbed!? [The tunnel-cars aren't on-site anymore, are they?]

[@DavidJohnson-tv2nn]

@@sammyk874 Just another example of the CEO over promising and under delivering.

[@mattsparks5957]

They need more construction workers. Elon said this would be done in July

[@ourv9603]

Sure is odd that new Teslas have to be hauled so many miles to the railyard for shipment. FORD too has a 3600acre development underway near Memphis called BLUE OVAL CIty. One of the first things Ford did was reach an agreement with the local RR to build a railyard ON SITE for all the new Ford Evs they are going to build there. Wonder why Tesla did not do the same? !

[@AirwaveDynamics]

Good question- I've seen some reports that the railyard might have been the originally planned location for GT. If so, not sure exactly why it was changed. Maybe there's a grand plan for a complete underground transport system? Ex. x.com/elonmusk/status/1814682173376491913?s=10&t=CFBiPNxsMjHPhz6QAp4Hkw

[@mattsparks5957]

What do you think they're going to do to let the water pass through that damn they built in a ditch?
