Gigafactory Texas on 20 October 2023! This is where Model Y’s and Cyber Truck production happens!
Cybertrucks driving all over the site today! Footing construction hitting plaid speed on the south and east sides! Megapack site looking great and nearly finished and final electrical connections being made at the electrical switchyard! Lots to see today!
The highlight of the day was catching a Cybertruck driving in the testing and calibration lot and test track, then following it along the east side to the south end, meeting up with another Cybertruck and then following the new one all the way back north to the Superchargers. This gave us a long opportunity to see two Cybertrucks in motion, which was cool to be able to see and capture via the drone!
Much more to see in the video! Because of the Cybertruck driving portion of the video, the overall length of today’s video is a little longer than usual.

Some additional highlights from today includes:
We see the entire SE corner including the new angled perimeter grade beam has footings, rebar, and more excavation! More footing rebar cages being assembled nearby. The south end of Stamping 2 has extensive scaffolding present and crews were applying the final exterior textured finish. This extends onto the area where windows were removed on the SE, S and SW portions of the main factory.
On the roof, crews have added all roofing insulation and most of the white weatherproof membranes. Finally, large deliveries of equipment covered in yellow plastic were underway on the SW corner of the construction site.
The east multi-level parking garage construction site is extremely busy today with GeoPier work, steel corrugated pipe installation on the far east side, including a defined manifold system, and on the east side, concrete has been poured and in the curing process in many footings. More trench work with pipe systems, form work, excavation, and assembly of more rebar cages. The speed of progress here is also moving rather quickly!
At the east side of the casting machine section, the morning sun lighting was excellent and allowed for some good views inside where what looked like a batch of front and rear Cybertruck castings on the floor. This is inside the building and visible where some windows were removed, and the vent panels have not yet been installed. We also get great views of where the final wiring in the conduits is being completed, and a big part of connecting the new switchyard to the factory!
At the Megapack site, the perimeter fence and lighting seem completed, no work on wiring at the Megapacks which indicates this may be completed, and final work for connections at the north end under the covered structure seems to be underway. Farther north, crews on tall scaffolding were completing the wiring for connections directly to the grid.
On the east side of the Battery Cathode Plant, the earthwork and widening of the land area continues, progressing further into the tree line on the east. It appears the grade is being raised, leaving a water channel where we are likely to see the steel corrugated pipes installed, then covered over, creating a large area for potential future construction.
