Gigafactory Texas! This is where Model Y’s, and Cyber Truck production happens and soon, the Next Generation Car!

Another nice sunrise on a cloudless morning at Giga Texas and we go on a viewer-requested hunt to see if there are any gray interior Cybertrucks on the lot. I would say the vast majority are white interiors, but I cannot say for sure there were no gray interiors. I gave it a good try and have many close-in images, so I'm curious what you may find. Let me know if you spot any gray interiors!

I decided to concentrate more time on the south end today as there is so much activity going on, and you'll see that in the video. First, we start on the southeast side examining the lined pond and what appears to be a pumphouse under construction on one of the three corners of the triangular pond. A filtration system has been installed (and covered up) on the bottom of the pond and more riprap (broken up stones) has been applied along some of the berms for drainage. A roadway seems to be under construction as well between the new lined pond and the remains of the original tree-lined pond.

The cooling tower unit has all six fans and cooling shrouds installed, along with more electronic equipment on the ground floor. Large open vents along the middle section of the enclosure have been installed too, along with most of the exterior cladding and both the north and south staircases. Between the south extension and the cooling towers, the two large brown coolant pipes have been extended to about the halfway point between the two structures, and tow more large sections have just arrived for installation.

On the roof, crews were back at work installing more insulation, a black membrane material and preparing for the weatherproof material over the supercomputer section of the south end. This requires a different kind of roofing material to meet fire codes because of the number of computer systems in this area and the significant amount of power that will be consumed by the computer data cluster.

Inside the structure, looking in from the west, we can see more interior walls have been erected, more large materials in white plastic wrapped crates have been delivered (possibly components from Xnrgy that makes data center cooling units) , and a lot more equipment, pipes and other machinery has been installed on all floors. The Boring Company tunnel has had the entrance area cleaned up of all equipment and materials, likely indicating work on the entrance structure to finish the tunnel is about to begin.

I did go over the southwest side across the highway to check on the Boring Company disassembly process of the Prufrock-3 TBM and all but the cutting head has already left the site. I was able to get some great views of the cutting head, both the face and the rear section and this helps illustrate the modular nature of the Prufrock-3 construction. One steel ramp remains and a few smaller items and materials. Soon all of this will be removed.
