Vocabulary hint: In power utility nomenclature: *Conduit: A conduit is a tube or pipe used to protect and route electrical wiring in a building or structure. It can be made of metal, plastic, fiber, or fired clay. Conduits provide protection to enclosed conductors from impact, moisture, and chemical vapors. They can be rigid or flexible and are typically installed by electricians. (think breaker panel to lighting circuit or electrical outlets) *Duct: A duct is a pipe or tubular runway for carrying electric power lines (usually not referred to as wires), telephone cables, or other conductors. In the context of underground installations, a duct often refers to a single enclosed raceway for conductors or cables, while a duct bank may contain multiple ducts.

those tunnels on the end are likely for liquid purge if there is a break in the system. with such large volumes of liquid going through there, it needs to be managed away from the equipment. there shouldnt be that many people in there once things are up and running so these tunnels would be an expensive people-mitigation system. there are weirs at the bottom of the tunnels and they empty out right at the bigger pond. this is obviously for liquid movement. since it is already treated water, it should be ok to come out to the pond in case of emercency. you also dont want tunnels like that in case of emergencies for people-egress. too much constriction and risk of more hazards.
I thought I recalled it being mentioned at some point that the tunnels were terminated inside the building with "freight elevators" ... which makes the idea that these were "fire escapes" for personnel exit highly unlikely. A "fire escape" should not involve an elevator which could be rendered inop in case of a fire. The "liquid purge" theory makes more sense.
Liquid drainage could be done with a simple pipe. These tunnels connect to internal stairways for emergency evacuation. Codes require a minimum of safety exits. Numbers of people and distance to safety. Because of the fancy glass walls , they are going with this very expensive solution. Water drainage? Your life must be strange and interesting.
On one hand, in plumbing systems the drain pipe is usually larger than the supply pipes. On the other hand there’s got to be some elevators in there somewhere, and I don’t recall seeing any other than the three at the ends of these “tunnels”. My memory may be bad… Often fire escape stairs and elevators are located next to each other and both need to be fireproofed. Poured concrete tunnels does seem like an expensive solution to fire egress needs. But those are big, heavy sheets of glass. Maybe requirements to get escapees clear of those? I dunno…
It's not just a facing structure that is needed at the tunnel portal. They also need to construct a roadway to get from the tunnel to the end of line facility. No sign yet of any activity to that end.
I am sure joe announced a few months or so ago that the boring company had wanted the tunnel to be in useable by July, or was that another musk timeline. Also surprised, they have not cleared the exit of the tunnel on the west side and laid the surface for the road and surrounding infrastructure. I hypothesized that maybe all work has slowed down due to the very high temperatures, and we may see in a few months as cooler weather come in more activity. Amazing when you look at the Berlin factory flyover how much nicer it looks compared to texas.
Wow, Franz and his team will go down in history as the people who worked to change the world By the way Joe, keep a lookout for any robocars in the crash test area.

Watching construction going on is, I assume, a male thing. Do a survey and find out what is male : female ratio of the audience here ! Just academic interest! 😀
Has work slowed down on the site, i am 22 minutes in and barely see any difference to the baghouse other than what looks like two fan units installed to the north of the baghouse is the only real difference from 3 weeks ago even the rebar for the slab to the north of the baghouse is just slightly advanced compared to what i saw two weeks ago.. the tunnel is exactly the same other than the gravel and two small piles of sand, I wonder if most work has been slowed due to the heat being experienced but one new bit if activity is seen on tesla road where the water pipes are being installed again, maybe? They have done absolutely nothing to tesla road extension for almost a year now. Otherwise, the only real difference is the levelled areas look slightly more level to the south and where the outbound lot is it looks like they are maybe preparing for more tarmac to be laid down soon.

Regarding the Cybertruck in front of the "graffiti trailer", it looks like it has a Range Extender installed in the bed. It it real or just a housing mock-up?
IIRC there are 6-8 battery production lines installed at the moment. Do you think that all of those lines still have all the equipment needed for the wet electrode process. If/when they finalize the dry process and use it for volume production I imagine all that extra equipment for the wet process will be ripped out.
A recent article claimed additional equipment was needed to be added following calendaring for dry cathode to work, I'm curious if and how much of this equipment has been implemented at GigaTexas [on the new and existing lines]
@9:09 The tunnels are for personel security. Server room fire suppression systems use *Halon* gas. If a fire breaks out in the servers, you have to get out or you'll die of _asphyxia._
I don't agree, as if it was, surely the tunnel would end closer to the building to get workers out into fresh air sooner. Very strange, but i am sure we will find out some day for certain.
After all of the effort and expense Tesla went to in pursuit of beautifully landscaped grounds opposite the main entrance, it makes me laugh that Tesla has it more or less permanently obscured by the graffitied cyber trailer.
Hi Joe, is there any chance that the object in the bed of the Cybertruck in the display area opposite the west main entrance is a range extender battery? It seems to take up about 1/3 of the bed which is what they have said will be the case.
Yeah I thought the same. I wonder if they're a way to scram the supercomputer's water system in the event of an overpressure? They lead straight into the water retention pond.
Thats true. They sure put a lot of piles under where they put these tunnels. You do not need all of that structural support for what would be a glorified sidewalk. I realize Giga Texas goes for over the top needless engineering. They did put in a whole bunch of geo piers under what turned into a gravel covered parking lot for trailers in the east WOW lot. I am also curious about what is so dangerous in this part of the plant that requires three dedicated escape tunnels when the rest of the plant doesn't need it?
Dual motors in some vehicles. Tri-motor in some Model S and X and Cybertrucks. Multiple motors in the Semi, although neither here nor there in numbers produced yet.
the concrete around the large brown cooling pipes.... ALSO.... helps to keep the water flowing thru the pipes colder than it otherwise would be if only encased in soil

Hello Joe, One more super video. A white cyber Truck (what new in this one) wrong.
Are these still all Foundation series Cybertrucks? If so when are the All Wheel drive ones starting production??
Can outsiders go and drive around the building? In Texas this week and wondered if it’s worth it to drive to Austin
Regarding the Cybertruck in front of the "graffiti trailer", it looks like it has a Range Extender installed in the bed. It it real or just a housing mock-up?
I'm thinking it might be the CyberTent, folded up.
IIRC there are 6-8 battery production lines installed at the moment. Do you think that all of those lines still have all the equipment needed for the wet electrode process. If/when they finalize the dry process and use it for volume production I imagine all that extra equipment for the wet process will be ripped out.
They don't have any equipment for wet cathode installed. They buy the cathode from Samsung I think.
A recent article claimed additional equipment was needed to be added following calendaring for dry cathode to work, I'm curious if and how much of this equipment has been implemented at GigaTexas [on the new and existing lines]
@9:09 The tunnels are for personel security. Server room fire suppression systems use *Halon* gas. If a fire breaks out in the servers, you have to get out or you'll die of _asphyxia._
I don't agree, as if it was, surely the tunnel would end closer to the building to get workers out into fresh air sooner. Very strange, but i am sure we will find out some day for certain.
