Giga Texas 4K Drone Footage Before Tesla Started Construction - 6/27/20 - FROM TEXAS TERAFACTORY!

Here's a special blast from the past and we have Jack from "Texas Terafactory" channel (link below) to thank! Jack was the first known drone pilot to correctly identify and fly over the Tesla Giga Texas site before a single piece of construction equipment showed up! Thank you SO MUCH Jack for filming this footage so that we can all see how far the amazing Giga Texas crews have come in only 10 months!
Please enjoy the video and as always, I appreciate all comments, questions, statements, proclamations and otherwise below!

I remember being blown away by the incomparable job they did coordinating that huge operation! And the high level of coordination has continued to this day. 👍👍

[@Frank_W.]

Thanks for posting this historic footage. Amazing how much has been accomplished in such a short period.

[@dan_w3st]

Thanks Jeff, Thank You Jack!

[@DavidJohnson-tv2nn]

Thanks for a look at what the looked like before construction started.

[@etbadaboum]

Thanks Jack!

[@andrewjameson5918]

To have you and the rest of the quad squad recording everything is great but to have this historical footage is even better.

[@kirk8985]

Thank you

[@ThreeNoTrump_100]

"Thanks for the memories."

[@kirilovart1989]

Epic!

[@smotruns]

Thanks Jeff

[@kirilovart1989]

Oh yes ... It's nice and Enjoying... Also refreshes my memory!

[@zechmerquise5281]

2 more months!!! What will the quad squad do for the 1 year anniversary?!?!

[@iKingRPG]

Amazing! I live near houston and will definitely come see Giga Texas one day!

[@Arseve119]

Its not only about the destination but also the journey..thanks for the wonderful memories Jeff!

[@dalerichardson7202]

Thank you!

[@MartinGalway]

Amazing

[@jamescoppe]

Wow! Puts into perspective the fast progress Tesla is making

[@Masoneer]

Pretty cool! Would it be feasible to try to replicate this flight-path and make a side by side video comparison?

[@peterdog15]

That is a great idea, I’ll ask Jack!

[@roslemisri8557]

Thanks Jeff. I am watching your video. I am impressed.

[@patmcdaniel2016]

Awesome.

[@Sean-C]

Amazing what a difference a year makes. Thanks for all that you have done to show us the progress.

[@WayNorthDrones]

Cool looking views from up high of the landscape and future construction site, very nice flying of the drone. Keep up the flying, its looking good. Thank you for sharing and have a good day!

[@TadeoPontecorvo]

Awesome to watch it just before Cyber Rodeo!

[@dclpgh]

South clump of trees nearly out line the south end angle on the factory haha.

[@barrywinters1142]

Thanks, lest we forget

[@jimbobbob9063]

Love it

[@BlazerRox]

I hope when they expand into those other areas that we see the return of "Swamp Thing" :)

[@BigBoneESB]

Site is quite dry on today's video.

[@superceosnow9103]

Hey!

[@annafraley5388]

Wow, that truly is unbelievable and it’s Not even Zone year until June 27th hua..?? 🤷🏻‍♂️ WOW 😱

[@robertn2951]

I heard there was a quarry there, but it doesn't look like. Was there wildlife in those lakes?

[@thewolfdoctor761]

Swamp monsters

[@earthwizz]

Those 'lakes' and the piles of earth in between are the remnants of that quarrying and, apparently, all the standing water stank to high heaven. Seriously environmentally compromised.

[@robertn2951]

@@earthwizz And I can just imagine the mosquitos. There were a couple of houses right in the middle of all of it! I would have rather been in Alcatraz than to live there.

[@AvronMP]

no wonder - it does not fly your daily pattern

[@ChrisHplusland]

LoL @ the fav footage sarcasm

[@peterdog15]

😉

[@gfeher123]

0:36 The "main factory area" is extremely misplaced.

[@ddmitch1]

How? Looks close to me. Jeff should know this place better than anyone. It may be a little too far south on the south end. Other than that, it is pretty right on in my view.

[@ddmitch1]

Kind of hard to be "extremely misplaced" when the factory has 130 on the west; power lines to the south and east; and Harold Green road to the north. Hey, but maybe you are more of an expert than Jeff 😂😂
