Tesla Gigafactory Texas 10 February 2021 Cyber Truck & Model Y Factory Construction Update (07:45AM)

Gigafactory Texas on 10 February 2021! This is where the Cyber Truck and Model Y will be built!
Weather this morning was ... frankly terrible for flying and filming. Despite that, I was able to fly and get some interesting footage of a highly active and busy site today.
In this video, we also review the site construction areas, including 8 areas where some degree of construction or clearing has taken place beyond the original 280-acre Phase I site plan.

Drone flight footage & infographics: 4:37 to 20:10

Here are highlights from today's flight:
- The roof over the casting machine area is almost completed ... just two more roof beams and about 8 more roof panels (Double-T's) and this area will be fully covered, and it looks like they are already preparing to pour concrete on the top as well
- GeoPier work in the northwest corner continues, now on the north side near the paint shop structure.
- The paint shop is getting a large slab poured today in the area with the very tall section on the west side.
- An interesting development just south of where the concrete slab was being poured is what appears to be some of the trench-boxes installed in the heavily reinforced rectangular area of the paint shop. I wonder if these may be related to the concrete vault parts that arrived on the site yesterday as well and may be a part of a water management system.
- Speaking of concrete vault parts, several were delivered on the site yesterday and are stored on the west side of the battery cell area ... they appear to be too large for electrical conduits and switches and even have man-hole cover ports cast in them. These could be the first parts of a water management system (which would be trenched and underground) or part of a rainwater collection system from the roof. This is a development that I will continue to watch.
- More concrete floor pours have been completed, and more rebar installation for future concrete floor pours are underway on the west steel structure.
- The small steel structure on the west and just south of the larger structure was getting long columns installed today, indicating it also will have three and four floors
- The west perimeter beam running south of the smaller structure has had the first concrete pour completed, and now forms will be installed to pour the vertical wall-base structure ... this will tell us how many more loading docks will be installed on the west side of the factory
- It appears that electrical connections to the grid via the new powerlines and transformers in the south were made today so perhaps some electrical power is now available in parts of the structures
- They are installing the last-remaining wedge-shaped roof sections on the concrete structure in the south. Also, a large slab is being poured in the south west portion of this structure today, meaning the entire west side and most of the central areas of this structure now have their final foundation slabs installed.
- The west wall of the concrete structure is now about 90% installed and preparations for another large roof section to get concrete poured was underway this morning
- The east steel structure and the concrete structure are now joined together. This marks the first time that the Giga Texas factory building spans the entire length north to south and east to west of the foundation!
- The connection between the east structure and the paint shop is now almost completed, making this into one contiguous structure.
