"More & More Glass" Tesla Gigafactory Texas 5/14/24 9:06AM 

Thanks Brad

Boring Tunnel: Quick count-up of segment stacks; About 180 stacks on site, = 90 rings, = 135m. Currently about 185m completed. therefore total 310m worth of segments. So all the segments should now be on site to complete the tunnel to the edge of the extension building.

Merci👍👍👍

this place is constant state of construct and deconstruct it seems lol

Thanks Brad! HDD bore, speculated fiber optic duct-bank: @ 0:21 (Bottom left) Small vault in excavation. @ 5:39 Likely end of the HDD bore with 4 flexible conduits or fiber optic cables sticking out. @ 0:58 (Bottom) Laying 2 conduits in duct-bank trench heading west. To meet up with the HDD bore @ 5:39 @ 5:31 (Bottom right) Pull box with conduit risers sticking up. Cooling structure: @ 2:31 Continued work erecting steel structure on top of the concrete platform. This is NOT scaffolding. @ 4:22 Pipe sections on the roof to be mounted in the pipe supports. Very long pipe run appears to end right where the new tanks were built on the other side of the wall. Pond: @ 2:38 Continued fill. Pond clearly split into two parts. A small dry pond and the existing wet pond. Data center: @ 4:59 Speculating that the data center, if built, will be below in the 3 story section of the building. Secure location, and away from the glass. EOL facility: @ 11:49 Appears that they are replacing a section of an existing water main as part of the hookup to the city water supply. Notice there were trenches were made towards the homes. Another view of the work @ 12:07 New power supply to the factory: Northside of Tesla road: @ 13:09 Laying new conduit west over the utility easement. 12 conduits per duct-bank. @ 13:18 Concrete pour complete over these duct-banks. Northside of casting: @ 14:00 Something unusual here. Right duct-banks appears to have only 8 conduits instead of 12. That is, unless it is 3 layers (3 x 4) at this point.

Thanks Brad 0:34. GA, apron. Bottom right. Tricyclist working hard. 0:56. Southend, west. Inside. Stormwater drain works parallel to the tunnel alignment have been buttoned up. Apron. Electrical conduit trench to the right. 1:25. Southend, west diagonal. Turned the corner with the glazing. 1:58. Southend, south. 6 crates of the parapet wall glazing visible in the reflection. 2:26. Southend. Cooling platform structure. As mentioned elsewhere by HarderNL and Elton Ray, this turns out to be a conventional cooling tower structure. Possibly manufactured by EvapTech a subsidiary of Evapco. Frame material likely FRP (fibre-reinforced polymer/plastic). Evapco fan units stored across the Westside may be planted on top. 3:06. Parking Garage. Top centre. 96” 2.4m stormwater drains being extended west. 5:40. Southend, west. Perimeter road. Black cables drapped out of the excavation. 11:48. Westside. Far west. Residential estate. Saddle Rock Drive. 2 trenches were marked. 2nd may be for a Sanitary Sewer Force Main. Or the trench was marked incorrectly. 12:48. Tesla Road, north. Top right. Ductbanks encased in concrete. Very close to ground level/grade. 13:56. Casting, north. Apron. Office trailers ready for removal. 14:00. Casting, diagonal corner. Apron. Cast in-situ vault heavily altered on the south side. 14:15. Casting, east. Bottom right. Wall panel about to be cut for additional door opening/s. Track mounted demolition saw attached to the wall. Apron. Mud base complete. 15:21. Crash Test Track. Dunking pit covers in place. 16:24. Far north, storage. Left. Loading platform from the southend of GA. Recently moved from the east contractors yard.

Thank you!

Thanks Brad, nice video. Great music. Just matched the pace of the video, especially the first piece.

Brad... Thanks so much for the views of the HDD bore 5:39 (Bottom), and 0:06 (Bottom right)! If there is any way you can check on this from time to time, that would be great. Doesn't have to be every flight. I realize there is a lot to cover. Also, a view a little further south of 5:39 where there is another HDD excavation would be great. The reason this has importance is the orange conduits seen in the bore, though not on this video. These often carry fiber optic cables. A critical element for a data center, along with power (Seen being added on the north end), and cooling. Thanks. Also, thanks for covering the water main at the west end of the EOL site!

I feel like the length of the tunnel could be calculated by looking at how many stacks of liners are left outside. It looks like each stack has 3 pieces of the 6 it takes for one section. Or maybe how much is left to dig could be calculated. I'm not sure how long each section is, but as the piles reduce, we are that far from the other end......

Has Model Y production kicked up?

Should be hanging glass around the clock.

Working conditions in texas is abysmal. Why do planners not plan, and get the full road layout completed so dust is not a major issue. and no it is not because of the new construction this was a problem before they broke ground with the new construction, dust and dirt on 100 000 cars shows workers don't really care about their job and who can blame them when the conditions they work in are so damn bad. No wonder American manufactured cars are shunned by other countries, no wonder Europeans don't want American manufactured teslas but wait for them to come from the German factory or the Chinese factory, imagine your output being vastly inferior to that in china a country known for selling inferior products. I look at the conditions tesal workers are forced to live with compared to germany a factory built around the same time. Maybe one day things will change, but i doubt it, it might cost businesses a fraction of their profits, and they don't want that, maybe one day someone will decide workers being happy ensures quality improved dramatically, oh yes there are actually examples of some smaller very successful businesses in america , business that listen to workers and pre-empt them by ensuring they have nice surroundings to work in.

Thanks Brad
