Gigafactory Texas! This is where Model Y’s, and Cyber Truck production happens and soon, the Next Generation Car!
What a gorgeous sunrise and start to the day at Giga Texas today! the weather was ideal for flying and video, and I tried to take advantage of the lighting to see inside several sections of the south end and the Boring Tunnel itself!

On news-worthy even happened I wanted to point out while I was flying on the north end, and that was a trash trailer fire on the west side of General Assembly. I include a video clip of this event in the video intro.
I first started smelling something that seemed like burning plastic but I was not sure where it was as it was partially hidden from where I was standing flying the drone, but then several firetrucks and equipment started arriving with their alarms blaring & lights on, so I tracked them over to the west side of General Assembly #1 and saw a trash truck was on fire and employees had been evacuated from the building.
The firetrucks were able to get the trailer doused with water quickly and put out the fire, also pulling out some of the burning items onto the concrete apron. Nobody was injured, the evacuation was orderly and employees quickly began re-entering the building to get back to work.
On the south end, we see crews active on every level of the extension and a lot of equipment, internal walls, pipes and manifolds bridge cranes, temporary stairs, different ground floor grades and much more. I spend some time looking into the well-lit interior of the south end and the west side of the extension, and also, some of the work going on with the cooling plant and huge water supply pipes being installed in trenches.
On the southeast side of the cooling plant, we see the lined pond getting some additional work, including a possible location for a pump house and a trench at the bottom for a filtration system. Rip-Rap is being installed along the berm of the original pond, possibly for drainage and erosion control.
We see many Cybertrucks on the old east side temporary testing lot today, confirming inventory does change here. Many of these Cybertrucks are awaiting some kind of final work before heading over to the outbound lot on the west side of the highway.
On the east side of the casting machine section, we see crews continuing to work on the bag house plant steel structure, forms and concrete mounts for equipment and tanks, and a large rectangular section with forms for walls. Farther north, more work on the ground area with crew-type piers and receiving door reworks. on the North end of casting, resumed trenching for electrical conduit which will extend through the north parking lot, under Tesla Road and into the clearing just north of Tesla Road, where more crews were working on extending the conduit.
