Thanks Jeff
0:28. Casting, east. Apron. Some rebar placed.
0:59. BIW. Apron. Mobile chiller units. Hoses seem to be connected. Some scaffold erected for easy access.
1:12. Stamping, roof. Loading platform. Not sure how this will operate. Platform deck down to roof level is around and 8’ 2.4m drop.
1:21. Southend, east. Roof. 1 final perimeter beam to be placed.
Cooling platform structure. Some vertical divisions installed in the FRP framework.
2:25. Highway median. HDD boring rig. Orange conduit further north at 2:49.
2:30. GA, highway side. Bottom right. Area taped off in the small green space.
3:23. Tesla road. Road trenched and the pre-assembled ductbanks dropped into trenches. Works must have been carried out Saturday.
To the left. Possibly some remedial road works, or dropped some other pipe/duct/conduit for ‘later on’. Original ductbanks crossed Tesla Rd slightly east around about where the pair of trees are.
North side. Excavator stripping vegetation from the old batch plant road berm. May be the last section of Harold Green Road.
11:24 - 11:30. GA, roof. Nice flyover of 10 additional flues.
11:50. Casting, roof. Framework for the Rooftop Pipeline Project continues north around behind the parapet wall.
Ducted fan enclosures. White pipes crossing under are marked. ‘TMW OWW’. T might designate Treated. W I guess could be Waste, or Water. O, 0 clues.
2:25 Another good catch! Taking a closer look... Looks like there might be another Excavation/bore @ 2:36 left. It has some orange fencing around it.
Also, though I don't have it in front of me, I believe the old sight plan shows a fiber optic cable running along the side of the highway. I'll check on it in the morning.
2:25 Update... PDF page 14 of my old site plan does show an existing fiber duct-bank running along the highway berm.
That last row of steel went up really fast.
Good to have you back
Gracias ! Gracias
Perfect day for a flyover. Tnx
There is a LOT going on in that factory other than CT and MY. Look at the progression of equipment on the roof. I predict a lot of surprises in the near future folks (legacy auto) wont be ready for.
🙋♂️THANKS JEFF,FOR THE UPDATE 🤗💚💚💚
Cool video. i work in the stamping department at GFTX 💪
Thanks Jeff!
Thanks Jeff for the rare Sunday video!
Thank you!
Thanks Jeff!
Cooling structure/South expansion:
@ 1:31 At least 2 large black pipes can be seen passing through the fiberglass frame.
One more beam to be placed to "Top out" the steel structure of the south expansion.
Supercharger power supply:
@ 4:27 (Right, vault by the Superchargers) Probably the most overlooked project by drone coverage is complete.
Project involved a reroute of power to the Superchargers during reconstruction of the main power duct-banks to the factory. Then reconnection of the Superchargers to power from the main building.
HDD bore:
@ 1:59 (Bottom left) Steel plate covering excavation in the middle of the road. Then, trench going towards the building.
This bore for fiber optic cables goes from the south side of River road to north of the main entrance.
Vault locations (All bottom left) @ 2:01, 2:07, 2:13, 2:21, 2:27, and 2:34
Note: in addition to the orange conduits pulled through the bore, some black conduit was pulled through as well. Possibly a shared duct-bank?
New power supply to the factory:
@ 3:22 Two trenches excavated across Tesla road, preassembled duct-banks placed, concrete poured, and backfilled. Also appears to have been another large excavation to the left.
Thx Jeff.
Merci👍👍👍
wow
Hey Jeff, are they using all that solar power yet?
No tree on the last beam. I guess they didn’t feel the need to top out an addition.
They are probably waiting until tomorrow
there are 1 or 2 beams on the ground waiting to be placed to top off @ 1:33
@@danawoodbury7106 Good eye!
@ 11:22 Jeff.... On the next flight would it be possible to fly over the roof slightly east, over the new cable trays by the east parapet wall? Thanks.
There is about 4,000 feet of cable trays/ladders. Which will likely carry the medium voltage (MV) cables to bring power from the north end of the building to the data center in the south expansion.
Ok!
@@peterdog15 Thanks so much!
Wanted a better view of the parking structure to see if the Cybertrucks are still there. Do you think they're going to wrap the glass all the way around to the 4 tanks?
1:28. There is a Level 1 perimeter beam fitted with the glazing channel mounting bracket lugs in front of the southern most tank. That would be the maximum extent of the full height glazing. Somewhere in that stretch of wall the glazing need to taper down to meet the smaller windows in Stamping.
Similar to the west side at 2:04.
Cybertrucks are still there
The giga battery looks finished or completed but the transformer station looks 1/3 completed
"transformer station"? Do you mean substation? And what timestamp? Both substations are complete. Though the LCRA substation was designed to allow for a 3rd transformer if needed in the future.
@@DavidJohnson-tv2nn yes substation no transformers or wiring to main grid.
@@johnpublic168 Both substations are connected to the grid. Do you mean the substation @ 3:41?
There is a large transformer in in the middle of it. It is connected to the grid via underground cables to the monopole @ 6:39 (Right). From there a short span of overhead transmission lines connect to the 345 kV (345,000 volt) buses in the LCRA substation.
where are all the silver model Y’s?
Hey Jeff do you by any chance have the picture of the Ironworkers with the topping out beam on 5/20/24
I don’t but check Joe‘s video on May 20.
apologies for my dumb question I've been out of the loop, what is the south end going to be? factory expansions, offices, showroom?
$25,000 Tesla and Robo taxis.
@@peterdog15 I thought there was no 25k car and is it true Tesla is closing Fremont?
Wonder how much in re work tesla has wasted on this building? It's not even 46 months since announcement of it.
And It's had endless re works, new concrete, new roads etc all done&then ripped up. And now a major extension added already. 😀
Can you imagine the chaos inside the factory? Adding and removing loading docks. Having to add extra cooling fan units or fine dust collection.
South expansion was announced 6 months before the factory structure was completed.
Who said it's wasted?
Giggagflop.
