Tesla Gigafactory Texas 21 April 2021 Cyber Truck & Model Y Factory Construction Update (07:45AM)

Gigafactory Texas on 21 April 2021! This is where the Cyber Truck and Model Y will be built!
A windy and cold Giga Texas this morning! I think a cold front blew through which made for some challenges. A lot of interesting details to see around the site and the pace just is unrelenting now! A great thing to see!
In this video we take a moment and look back over the 9-months of work at the site, starting with a deleted sand and gravel mine with hills, valleys and big ponds (not to mention poor soils) to what we see today is simply amazing. Just imagine in 9 more months what this place will look like!

Some of the major highlights from today:
- In the paint shop structure (west side) we see the ring mount on the slab in the tall area of the building turned out to be the installation point for a very large pipe with rectangular ducting mounted on it ... we saw this pipe delivered 2 days ago and it's already installed! It s unclear at present what this is for, but it is most definitely not a large robot mount!
- The north fact of the paint shop has all but 4 panels installed now and the final roof material installation is essentially complete, with the exception of making holes to mount more HVAC and other ducting.
- The large excavation area just south of the Paint shop has grown again and is now about 150 feet by 75 feet (~45 m X ~23 m) rectangular shape and about 30 feet (~9 m) deep!
- We get closeups of the gas pipe installation and the "valve farm" area near where Harold Green Road was removed. We also see manholes installed along the electrical conduits running near the same area and parallel to the gas pipe on the way to the factory. It appears the gas line installation is almost completed, and the Stabilis LNG tanks had crew working as if to remove them soon.
- The casting machine structure extension area (for the Cyber Truck's larger casting machines) had most of the footings completed and the perimeter grade beam outline is taking shape. Only the area with the temporary LNG tanks are located at have not had GeoPier work completed.
- Also in the casting machine area, a new partial slab is being poured in the east bay, where it appears they are reserving space for future construction of the remaining 3 6,100-ton casting machines. It appears they are doing this because they do not yet have the IDRA steel foundation frame units.
- The Battery Cell area steel structure is now passing the halfway point to filling in the area and is about 4 1/2 squares form meeting the angled perimeter grade beam!
- The west steel structure is getting the first visible interior walls installed as well as roofing, concrete floor pours, more masonry work for stairwells, a new stair installation starting and more steel on the south end.
- The southwest footing area has seen materials, equipment and temporary structures moved so they can complete the footing construction on the extreme south. The south perimeter grade beam is now emerging!
- Two fire water loop lines and hydrants were added on "projections" into the large water detention pond. A possible overflow area is being constructed which will allow water to flow from the detention pond to the pond just to the south.
- Significant land clearing on the south, under the bridge and onto the west side of the highway is clearly visible now, with large water pipes arranged on both sides of the highway.
- Work on the east clearing continues and the outline of what may be the first foundation construction area is taking shape now. The last remaining ponds are almost gone, with only a sliver of one remaining and water removal continues.
