Gigafactory Texas! This is where Model Y’s, and Cyber Truck production happens and soon, the Next Generation Car!
First day of the 3rd Quarter and it was a beautiful day to fly! Most of the work was concentrated on the south end extension area, the east and north sides of the casting machine section of the main factory and the Boring Company tunneling site on the west side of the highway.

In the video introduction, I provide some news and updates on the Cybertruck, particularly the Gray interior, when production of that interior began, a video of a customer delivered gray interior Cybertruck, updates on the Foundation Series production and delivery plans for Tesla (which have recently changed) and more!
On the south end, crews continue to work on the cooling plant on the southeast side, with more exterior cladding installed, work on the ground level machinery and electronics, trenching for the large underground water pipes that will provide the coolant for the plant, and additional work to complete this structure.
On the south side, crews have drained water out of the three underground tunnels and seem to be preparing rebar for the pile caps on top of the tunnel ramps with the screw-type piers. window installation crews were busy near the southwest angled corner installing trim pieces to finish out the glass installation while on the roof, crews were busy installing more insulation on the roof segment above the supercomputer cluster area. This roofing is noticeably of different materials and installation as compared to the rest of the Giga Texas roofing materials and weatherproof membranes.
On the east side of the casting machine section of the main factory, we see crews working on the slab mounts for tanks and equipment on the south side of the steel assembly and on four formed sections for concrete walls on the north end. Further north, crews were buys trenching in the dirt section where storm water pipes and concrete vaults were being installed. concrete forms and rebar have been placed around the south slab to complete the concrete apron.
