In case you haven’t already seen it, the NTSB did a study on car fires per 100,000 cars sold. The results: EVs, 25; gasoline cars, 1500; hybrids, 3500! Yep, some serious BS!

Thanks Brad Great views into the east side of the Southend. 0:24. Southend, south. Central fire escape passage. Setting up the track mounted demolition saw to cut out the opening. More passage likely to be built outside the building line. Prefab rebar beside the road at 0:54 about the right size. 1:31. River Road extension. Trailer load of rolls of geofabric/mesh perhaps. 2:11. Parking Garage site. North road. Asphalt paving works at the intersection with the main north-south road. 2:39. Parking Garage site. South road. Bottom left. Concrete paving at this intersection. 3:42. Southend, east. Level 2. Inside. Unpainted steel beams. Late changes. Pipe suspension/support structure perhaps. Left. Boxing/formwork for equipment plinths. 3:54. Southend, east. Level 1. Pipe runs 'bedded' rather than 'embedded' in concrete. 4:29. Southend, west. Apron. Bottom left. 5 large pumps, hoses. 4:46. Southend, west. Precast wall panel installation cracking ahead. 5:05. Southend, west. Level 1. Right. Studwalls being constructed around the fire escape passages. 5:11. Southend, Tunnel Project. TBM shielded sections driven forward of the lined tunnel. Roughly 24 concrete legos stacked either side of the tunnel. 6:22. Westside, Tunnel Project. TBM cradle not part of the recovery operation. Delivery of tunnel road deck sections. 7:05. Westisde, Tunnel Project. Dismantling of conveyor continues. 12:03. Westside, central storage. Right. Arson. 12:44. Battery, north. Level 3 Loading platform. Acrylic render/stucco on the wall sheeting. Painted by tomorrow? 13:36. BIW, roof. Cable lengths run out well past the cable tray. Enough length to be dropped through the building to the Main Switch room. 16:13. Far north storage. Bottom. Can’t make out if the cabinets are glass fronted, or polished stainless steel. More to the right at 16.22.

Thanks Brad! South expansion: @ 0:29 Getting ready to saw-cut the concrete wall to open up the center emergency escape passage. (Bottom) Hydrovac truck boring some test holes. River road: @ 1:51 (Right) New construction road likely to replace existing construction road @ 2:28 (Bottom right) This will allow them to complete the stormwater construction project involving the two 8' diameter pipes. Rooftop cable trays: @ 3:07 (Left) Cable being pulled off the spool to the north along the cable trays. @ 13:32 (Bottom right, by the parapet wall) About 3,000 feet to the north cables can be seen in the cable tray. Also seen @ 13:38. Cooling: @ 3:25 (By the parapet wall) Crew working on two pipes that will likely go into the south extension. Where the large water tanks are. Cooling tower: @ 3:35 A view of the ongoing work. South expansion: @ 3:44 A view into the second level. To the left the section with the white beams and columns is the data center. @ 3:54 First level... Large 5' diameter pipe (Part of the cooling system) in the trench. There are also smaller branches off the large pipes. @ 4:54 Installing precast wall panels. @ 5:11 TBM separated from the tunnel liners. Again, Thanks Brad! Without your capture fenced in area inside building on 6/6/24 at the 5: 22 timestamp... The other great images that followed would not have been possible. New power supply to the building: @ 13:05 (Bottom) For some reason this project appears to be on hold. But that can't remain on hold for long. Without new power, their data center won't work.

A lot of other stuff needs to be finished before they need power and can accept delivery of the Nvidia SuperPODs. Tesla also doesn't have any computer system, AI software or robotics job listings for Austin yet. Only Palo Alto and Drapper UT. While they already have job listings for the lithium plant.

You’d think if they were going to bore more tunnels that we’d have seen them digging and placing foundations for the equipment by now. That way they could move the equipment directly from one site to the next. Perhaps they aren’t in a hurry? Need the rig for another gig somewhere? Just wondering.

Over the years I have noted every Soil Test Rig sighting. I have pinned all from the westside of the highway on Google Earth. One pin unsurprisingly is on the current tunnel alignment. Others are at the New EOL superchargers, the New EOL building, the westside north-south road/Tesla Road intersection, another in the highway median on the alignment of the HDD under highway bore for the electrical supply to the EOL. 2 others of interest are on or close to the north-south alignment of the New EOL building east facade, 400' 120m and 865' 265m north of the corner of the east facade. Hadn't particularly noticed that alignment until now. 400' is about opposite the north end of the area where the food trucks park, and the trouble Sanitary Sewer Lift Station is located. 865' a couple of hundred feet short of the demolished ramp at GA/Battery. Joe seems to think the next tunnel will be bored from within the factory. He may have some intel on that, but it seems completely unlikely to me.

Hell I don't know what the reason for for the tunnel anyway. Someone suggested that it going to be a pedestrian tunnel. That kind of make sense but for vehicles when there is a underpass just 500 yds south of the tunnel.

@@BTSflyer I've done the maths, with vehicles driving themselves to the EOL through the tunnel, saves 450 seconds per vehicle over someone driving each vehicle over via the road system. Multiply that by the numbers of vehicles produced per year, and by the cost to Tesla of a driver, and the numbers may add up to it being economically viable. Or not. What it does do unquestionably, is takes the risk out of new vehicles needing to negotiate the road traffic across to the New EOL. That's a another benefit that someone could probably put a dollar figure on.

@@DessieDoolan also it was the Cybertruck Engineer himself who recently mentioned that immediately after the finishing point of the CT production line the new vehicles would disappear into this tunnel, so production-wise I think there must also be substantial benefits to optimize the flow and use the available floorspace in the main bldg as efficiently as possible. Optimizing the production line movements apparently is a big ticket item in its own right, I recall a recent tour by Sandy where Lars pointed out that at night they would continue to automate movements upwards and around some corner if I recall correctly. If all this is indeed valuable, then it would make sense to repeat the tunneling trick at the end of the MY production line(s) - just get the finished cars out of the way without piling up inside somewhere.

Might be HVAC for the rest of the Southend not associated with the Data Centre. On the other hand, there is a history of HVAC equipment being on site for a long time before finding a home. The Evapco units at Cathode were on site for almost 2 years before being installed.

I'm tending to think they will expend the chillers at the cathode building, there is already some openings ready for more Evapco's, plus a few of the major pipes just have blank end caps, way easy to add further pipe sections.
