Perfect capture speed, making long, monotonous activities more exciting, more gratifying. Also, great sunset behind the downtown skyline!!

[@AirwaveDynamics]

Thank you! I usually 'hyper-lapse' most of these to get to the point😉 Glad that footage from last month still had some benefit. Thanks for the feedback my friend!

Thanks for the update

[@AirwaveDynamics]

Thanks as well! 🙂

👍🏆 thx.

They really F'd up with the concrete panels for the tunnel. It looks like removing the brackets they used damaged the edge of the panels plus maybe the tunnel liner.

[@georgegoodwin9722]

Is that why they’re taking them out instead of putting them in?😊

[@ranig2848]

How many cars can they fit in these tents?

[@AirwaveDynamics]

Good question -- by observing the middle one (3:25) which doesn't have a roof yet, one could speculate an amount of vehicles that could fit🤔

[@bigtvjunky9119]

@@AirwaveDynamics The middle(largest) tent is 15 parking spaces wide. Assuming the support spans are 16' with the Model Y is 16' long and CT is 19'. The big tent can hold around 330 MY or 270 CT. The two smaller tents can hold 264 MY or 216 CT each.

@@bigtvjunky9119 Excellent hypothetical calculation! Thank you🙂

[@grahammonk8013]

Hail protection?

[@bigtvjunky9119]

Possible, but why after how many years they've been producing cars in Texas?

[@AirwaveDynamics]

I was wondering that too...

[@grahammonk8013]

@@bigtvjunky9119 They are building more cars now, and if they succeed, perhaps many, many more soon. Up till now, they have been distributing them pretty quickly, it is reasonable to think they will have lots more cars sitting in the yard for a day or two. I used to work in a yard like this, one bad rainstorm cost a lot money. I wonder if the new cheap car or robotaxi is built ultra light?

Old footage of south-end tunnels.

2nd half = hence the date right before the segment (also mentioned in the description). Making the trip out there is quite time consuming -- figured I would publish it rather than delete without anyone seeing it.
