"Prufrock Evaluation" Tesla Gigafactory Texas 6/20/2024. 8:34AM 

Curious why there's pixelation. Faces of others were shown. Wonder if RU-vid did it themselves.

Southend escape passages to be serviced by CyberGondolas being punted by bots dresses as Charon the ferryman from ancient Greek myth.... during inclement weather.

@@sammyk874 I did wonder if it was automated. Also thought maybe Mr Pixels flipped Brad the bird, and that had Brad add the pixelation.

@@memrjohnno Yeah, I think so.

6:31 can you place where ye olde splittre box and associated piping is here?

Here is an electrical question for you David: the other day Elon mentioned that in the first wave they are shooting for 130 MW power/cooling for the datacenter, expandable to 500 MW (!!!) in 18 months or so. Where is all that power coming from?? It is about the total output from the commercial powerplant to the South, which is already fully booked by the looks of it (big plumes above the cooling towers). Also, to put 500 MW onto some racks on the roof seems a bit.. odd. For that amount of power a HV spur from the main grid wouldn't be out of place I would think.

@@hardernl8893 First, while I have some knowledge, I am not an electrician. What I can tell you for sure..... * No power is coming from the gas turbine power plant across the river. Which is owned by Austin Electric and it provided power to the temporary substation, via the smaller 138 kV transmission lines. * The new duct-banks being constructed contain 12 conduits each. But right now, only 8 conduits from each duct-bank actually enter the building. But that can be easily upgraded 12 conduits each to the building if they do it prior to pulling cable. Let's assume each conduit contains one three-phase circuit. So counting only one duct-bank (the second duct-bank is likely redundant), there will be 12 new three-phase circuits bringing power in. How much power for each circuit? Here is where I am not 100% sure. Just a wild guess would be 8 to 10 MW each, for a total of 96 to 120 MW. I don't know how to do three-phase current calculations. But did find a calculator online. It says to get 8 MW @ 24.9 kV would require 321 Amps. 10 MW would require 400 Amps. So 130 MW may be do-able. They also can add one more transformer to the substation. And there is one more duct-bank coming out of the mega-vault, also containing 12 more conduits. *500 MW? I would take what Musk says with a grain of salt. That is half the power from a typical nuclear reactor! * HV spur from the main grid..... If you mean from another set transmission lines located elsewhere, that would be very expensive. There would have to be a switchyard at the begging and a substation at the end, plus the cost of the towers and lines in-between. Even a second substation on the existing LCRA transmission lines would be expensive. * Cable trays on the roof.... It will be interesting to see how they do lightening protection? Also, the trays are double stacked and appear way too close to each other. If anything happens to one cable tray, they can lose both of them. The electrical experts out there can correct me if I got any of this wrong.

Yes, nothing better than a true specialist commenting. I was hoping for another tunnel, but now that the TBM is being dismantled, and already the tail shield removed from site, the chance for an additional tunnel is quickly fading. I guess the thrust ring footing will be left in place if possible. No need to remove it unless it somehow interferes with the portal. The construction team are quite efficient with earthworks and paving. I think no more than 2 weeks to create the tunnel ramp and roadway to it. Inside the tunnel, drainage works, the road decks, asphalt paving, lighting and emergency systems would easily keep them busy for a couple of weeks. 5 weeks is doable I would think. Jeff's video of a trip in Las Vegas tunnel shows there is no fire sprinkler system. No ventilation system either, except maybe a ducted fan at the portal.

I miss David Salisbury's comments too. Tunnel being operational in less than 5 weeks.... I wouldn't pay too much attention to timelines from TBC or Musk. Keep in mind that TBC claimed that they could set up in 24 hours and had a goal of being able to tunnel at a rate of 7 miles per day!

Unfortunately, on the opposite end of the building from the elevators, and... Not enough elevators!

@@DavidJohnson-tv2nn Why are more elevators needed?

Unskippable ads is new to me.

I watched the entire video and didn’t have that issue. No ad blockers active for this channel. Might just be a bug.

I had 2 ads, but they were both skippable after 5 seconds.

…just make it square… oh.. ok

Outgoing trucks to owners.

Some going to the rail head, Some not. Local maybe.

They have to balance the recall wiper motors with manpower to do that work in the field before they repair back load in lots and still produce daily product.

Ahhh, I didn’t realize that there was this recall. I knew about the accelerator pedal but I hadn’t heard about this one.

I'm hoping a sharp eye will see the gray interior soon. My order is for gray with Oct-Dec.expected delivery.

@@Jim-hr1ky BEAST ?

@@TeslaDiyMan Yes. Just because. You?
