it must be a big hassle to move not yet trimmed castings outside one by one and arrange them literally on any available space. Finished castings on the other hand move batch-wise in racks. Are freshly minted castings still too hot when they emerge from their initial cooling to be put in racks? I never understood this intermediate storage process that we see. Maybe the casts need to further harden at room temp before being trimmed, and pressure points in a rack may still cause dents? Hence, flat lay down required??
@@hardernl8893 After watching the Munro/IDRA video I was convinced that anything stacked outside was a reject. Based on the IDRA people stating that the castings are trimmed immediately after being removed from the die casting press. Of course this being Tesla, the conventional doesn't necessarily apply. With all these castings stacked outside they must have deleted the initial trimming stage as a way of increase the through-put. Possibly a temporary measure as construction works inside Casting continues. Die-casting machines may only be running 3 or 4 days a week.
It looks like they stopped using those QA tents possibly on August 22nd. That happens to be the day that drone footage from the Fremont plant showed them using an unmanned brightly lit video final QA tent. They drive through @ 5mph and go directly to the outbound lot.
The speed of construction needs to be accelerated! In addition, employees’ cars should not be parked on the construction site to avoid hindering construction and asphalt paving.
Employee lot not as full as usual. Maybe more are using the parking structure, or some are taking a long holiday weekend. Didn't look like any Cybertrucks were coming out of the factory. I wonder if most of the Cybertrucks ended up at the railyard or if that group of 200+ in that one area were transported by semi-trailers.
Even more cooling trucks down the east side... GT underestimated cooling requirements from the get go by a wide margin. It should be remembered that GT has yet to pump out EVs at any significant volume though this may change very soon. Hopefully.
What are you expecting Brad to show more of? Most of the Tesla site is now looking pretty much the same from week to week, so those of us who like watching construction projects appreciate him also showing the pipeline project and the occasional FM973 shots, otherwise there’s not much to encourage watching every video.
@@AntTurner What is boring is flights over the Cybertruck lot! But I don't complain, I just skip it. Laying pipeline IS interesting in my opinion, but to each his own.
@@Frank-gt7me Nothing wrong with showing the pipeline but this is "Tesla Gigafactory" video. Also I literally said what he should be more focused on. The extension is changing daily so I don't know what videos you have been watching.

Gr8 Soundtrack, Brad, and fantastic drone/camera action. Thank you!
Thanks Brad.

6:31 and 9:24 Am I looking at it wrong or are those completely different transformers?
@@DavidJohnson-tv2nn Yes, different logo, different construction, similar configuration.
Thanks Brad

🙋♂️ THANKS BRAD, FOR THE UPDATE 🤗💚💚💚
Thanks for sharing, Brad!! You are amazing!
love Frank Zappa "Sleep Dirt" music
The speed of construction needs to be accelerated! In addition, employees’ cars should not be parked on the construction site to avoid hindering construction and asphalt paving.
Cooling towers seem awfully close to the power lines. I wonder if it will pose a problem during certain weather conditions such as fog.
Be storing castings in the southern extension before long. Should use the roof perhaps.
Employee lot not as full as usual. Maybe more are using the parking structure, or some are taking a long holiday weekend. Didn't look like any Cybertrucks were coming out of the factory. I wonder if most of the Cybertrucks ended up at the railyard or if that group of 200+ in that one area were transported by semi-trailers.

Transformers:
@ 6:31 and 9:24 Transformers look different? Would love to see the voltage ratings on the transformers @ 6:31
More Tesla, less natural gas pipeline
Aspirationally, yes! But there are processes on factories like this that yet require natural gas and is the only viable solution
Jim I agree, a major focus should be the extension and cooling tower which has the most activity. The gas pipeline is boring content.

so all the unsold Cybertruck gone:)
who said they ever unsold Tesla doesn't ship them out unless they going to customer...
Umm I don’t get it is this supposed to be special, it looks just like every other bloody great big factory.
Maybe quality control moved inside the building?
Building is surely large enough and I'd argue that that is what the building is for.
@@memrjohnno or possibly moved to the new large tents at the Taylor railyard. Although I agree the EOL building should be plenty large enough for QC.
