Gigafactory Texas! This is where Model Y’s, and Cyber Truck production happens and soon, the Next Generation Car!
Perhaps the best sunrise of the year so far greeted me on arrival at Giga Texas so I tried to capture as much as I could in the images and video for you to enjoy. In addition to the sunrise and fabulous lighting, we see a lot of activity on the site today, particularly on the south end, the east side of the factory and the north side near Tesla Road for conduit installation.

In the video introduction, I discuss recent changes to how Giga Texas will perform the End of Line (EOL) functions and hos most of this has now moved across the highway to the new EOL facility, I give a good overview of the west support facility, where the EOL sections for Model Y and Cybertrucks are in the factory now, where all of this is being relocated, the routing new vehicle will be taking, and the rationale for these changes.
Also, later in the video at the electrical substation, I discuss new expansion plans, adding a third transformer along with all of the support infrastructure to connect to the new conduit and support the operation of the supercomputer cluster going in at the south end. Much of this new information was discovered by my KZitem viewer David Johnson and provided to me by Patreon Dessie Doolan.
A few areas of note for today include the south end extension, where new earthwork is underway along the southwest angled corner area and just north of the Cyberpond. Most of the glass company trailers, materials and crates of glass have been moved away from the area to allow this earthwork to commence. This may be the start of a new main entranceway for Giga Texas and/or the headquarters for Tesla.
Work continues with the water pipes for the cooler plant on the southeast side and there are many portable generators arranged around the base of the glass walls on the south end. I note this because the entire structure, save for where the Boring Tunnel inside the extension is located, was dark when I arrived. This may indicate electrical work underway inside the structure, and this may explain all the generators.
On the east side of the factory, we see hundreds and hundreds of castings stored on the ground, in rack mounts and elsewhere. clearly the casting machines are in full use at the moment, and this may indicate what is going on with production and may be related to the End-of-Line changes that are nearly completed. We also see work on the dirt ground in front of the new receiving doors, possibly getting ready for finishing off this section, finally!
Also on the east side of casting, the Bag House plant is getting a lot more ducting and equipment installed on the south end of the galvanized steel structure, while additional concrete work is underway on the north end under the steel structure. Farther north, more work on the dirt section, with what appears to be electrical conduit going in on the north and south ends, with radiused conduit near the main concrete walls.
