Tesla Gigafactory Texas 2 August 2020 construction Video

Great content, as always!

Nice that you address common questions and comments. It's obvious that you have a great understanding of what is going on with this project!

It looks like Giga Berlin might have a couple of extra piles of dirt to spare.

Love the added overhead graphics and labeling. Looks awesome !!!

Thanks for the update! How well is it going with the leveling of the terrain? It's a little bit hard to tell from the drone video how flat the terrain has become. Seems to be a lot of work still to come.

Wow way2go

Nice going Joe! Like the question and answer format. From what I can tell, the purchased fill is going to the lowest/wettest areas, especially where deep compaction is necessary. And the onsite belly dumps are pulling from high ground near the powerline and filling in generally low areas more toward the road.

Good to see they are working on Sundays. Wonder if maybe they took off a day when it rained so hard?

Nice to know you are using a Mavic Mini. I am planning on getting a drone, and thought that might be a good 1st one. Nice to see it takes such nice video.

Thank you for an awesome update video! Kudos!

Fantastic video Joe, loved the bonus footage at the very end! LOL

Is there work going on at night too?

Great video but may i suggest that to improve your chanel it would be extremely beneficial in you could leave your graphics on screen a lot longer cause you don't get to completely take in your important topics. Thanks

Rule of thumb is that you should have the time to read all text on screen, out loud, twice,
before cutting away.

Your videos are excellent Joe. I especially appreciate the low views you do which give some perspective on the leveling which is hard to see from altitude. You might increase your view count if you add "Tesla Austin" as key words. I had missed several videos because that's what I was searching for.

The western construction site will be bigger in the south part and include the swamps/mining cuts and the eastern will be smaller, looks to me not even construction yet but just staging area for construction. West part will extend towards the highway underpass that they need to make to reach the area west of the highway where future expansion will be.

Excellent! Thank you!

The land are is large, very big plans going on here, factory is going to be incredibly advanced. Just imagine the paradigm shift in Automotive factory locations. From industrial smokestack zones, to right to work rural areas, now A High Tech City famous for wafer fabs, micro electronics design, software, Silicon Fab Equipment, University Research Centers, and gobs of other tech like Yetti Coolers LOL. Those big power lines probably bring in the Juice from West Texas Wind turbines. millions of cars will be made here in the future, ships along coast will be loaded for shipments to all over the world.

Fantastic presentation Joe. Ranger Excavation has probably doubled their big equipment to 100 pieces. Great overlays on Your video giving descriptions, naming areas, and I especially liked Your Video showing removing the ponds. I liked Your Video following highway bottom dump trailer trucks hauling back limestone to site. GOOD BUT I WOULD LIKE MORE. I’m guessing there are at least 50 trucks and maybe even 100 hauling. Please get permission to show this huge operation at quarry site that can handle this many trucks for multiple loading locations at the same time. Is this a mountain or another big hole in the ground. I see all this truck movement but don’t see the huge loafing very coordinated operation that can handle all those trucks. We don’t see close up on site while they are dumping but still requires a lot of coordination and direction by dump master because they are not stopping and takes little time to unload. Is it known how much material is going to be trucked and for how manny months will this activity last? How many trucks? Is it 30 cubic yards or more? How many hours per day? Thank You Joe.

I wonder how much of Texas' earthmoving machinery is on that site, I bet it's a significant percentage and there's probably not a belly dump truck available for hire anywhere.

Excellent captions and explanations of the activities. Probably the most useful video I’ve seen, the only ones that come close are the China factory videos which sometimes have decent amount of labels and commentary about what’s happening. To the viewers many times the changes are not apparent unless pointed out by the video editor using captions, graphics or commentary.
Thanks again. Very informative.

Ground seems very uneven with many obstacles, I wonder if they will put it on a same level eventually.

seen any Gators?

Very professional map work w scale & compass. Thanx!

Looks like those Texas boys know how to roll up their sleeves!

Man those timelapses are completely breathtaking! I love watching it get made!
