Gigafactory Texas! This is where Model Y’s, and Cyber Truck production happens and soon, the Next Generation Car!
Yesterday, based on images posted by Jeff Roberts on "X". Elon Musk commented about the south end extension and the supercomputer data cluster that is under construction. Based on this, I decided to dedicate a larger than normal part of my flight on the south end and I include a lot of discussion about the various construction projects underway on the south end in today’s video.
In the video introduction and in the main video, I show some graphics about where the data center will be located, the cooling structural platform, review additional information about the EVAPTECH cooling units & show how the roof in this area of the extension differs (and suggests future modifications by cutting openings into the roof over the data center), and review the large cooling pipes that are observed inside the west side portion of the extension. I also point out previous videos where we discussed the permits and additional information related to the south end.

Some additional highlights to look for in the images & video today include:
The boring company has been doing small scale tunneling as I noted an excavator removing some dirt from the spoils bin and loading it into a dump truck for movement elsewhere on the site. There were other minor indications of work underway, but it was an early Monday morning flight so there was not a lot of observed activity around the tunnel opening.
On the west side of the 4680 battery cell section of the main factory, I noticed in addition to a bin full of 4680 battery cans for recycling, several large rollers nearby ... I am not sure what these are or if they are related to battery cell manufacturing, but it was something of interest and I'm hoping a viewer might be able to identify what these are.
Cybertruck production ramp continues, and they are now making over 200 per day (or around 1200 to 1500 weekly ... I got this number from information I've heard and also, from a few trusted social media channels that watch Cybertruck production closely and had a 24-hour VIN data sheet series of images from 14 to 15 May that showed this is indeed accurate information. Model Y production is noticeably much lower than this and has not yet resumed anything close to what we have seen in recent months before the layoffs occurred.
On the north end, we see Tesla Road has had two areas where conduit trenching will connect the existing conduit on the north side all the way to the south and to the casting machine section, where additional trenching and conduit installation is underway. There is additional earthwork farther north near where the original trailers for the construction crews of the Megapack site were located, and we see more earthwork covering up trenches under the powerlines. All of this connects up to the south end of the electrical switchyard.
On the east side of the casting machine area, we see crews busy assembling rebar into the new bag house plant foundation. This is where the screw-type piers were installed, the mud base and forms. Overall the foundation is rectangular, with plumbing and conduit already installed and with a few depressions that are formed out and will allow for some underground connections.
Finally, we tour the far east fabrication workshops where many of the large gray pipes observed in the west side of the south extension are made and prepared. We also see pipe segments that have gray straight sections attached to black elbow sections, so we should see some of this showing up on the south extension area.
