14:09 Cable tray furthest west contains the cables are the cables that exit the roof above BIW/Casting and bring existing power to the data center. Note: From previous videos, it appears that those cable ducts through the roof can carry 12 cables each. Not enough for 48 new cables from the substation plus 12 cables from BIW/Casting. Unless the connection to BIW is temporary?
@@DavidJohnson-tv2nn I'd also bet the connection to factory power is temporary. The 12 cables now in the roof railway will be disconnected at the point where they go into the factory near BIW and spliced onto 12 of the 48 new cables coming from the north along the railway..
at 25:44 what are these 4 cars under the gray/black cover. They look like the size of a cybertruck but don't have the shape of it at all. They are clearly bigger than the model Y...
If you look at the use of Megapacks at the Colossus facility. The main purpose is to protect the grid from the data center. The power fluctuations or spikes in energy demand from the H100s happen in milliseconds. Which is more than the grid can handle, but not a problem for the Megapacks. The end result is a constant load on the grid. Yes, it is usually reversed, the data center needs to be protected from power fluctuations on the grid. But in this specific case it is the grid that needs protection.
Looks like we're starting to see some hints (i.e., grading) of the work needed to provide a roadway to connect the west tunnel portal to the end-of-line facility site.
Thanks Joe! Possible Megapack site: @ 27:47 For those interested... Look up Colossus and the use of Megapacks to buffer power fluctuations caused by the H100s (Spikes in energy demand). Note: Megapacks are not used as an additional power source. Substation expansion project: @ 26:56 and 27:19 Not much change.... But a look at the footings that will support 2 new A-frame towers and the associated switch and busbar structures. Rooftop cable trays, north end: @ 20:31 First cables laid along the north end cable trays. To the left of the workers is where the cables will go through the roof into 4 cable ducts, 12 cables each. 48 cables total, 16 3phase circuits. Rooftop cable trays, south end: @ 14:09 More cables being routed through the roof into the data center. Cooling: @ 11:15 Some steam coming from the cooling tower. A lot more steam coming from the BIW chillers in the upper left. Possibly a temporary cooling source for the data center?
A question: Are those chillers you see at 11:15 on the roof near the BIW really for that? Long before Cortex, there has been another data center (maybe Tesla One) in and for the factory. I don't think the location of that has ever appeared on Joe's intro site map, but for some reason I've long thought that data center was located in that spot and cooled by those chillers. I've been and often am wrong about a lot of things, but I believe the factory was producing cars long before the roof was opened and those chillers installed. My impression then was that process took a long time to complete. (It was open to the elements maybe almost a year, it seemed.)
As Joe pointed out, looks like the idea that one set of transformers could serve a new megapack assembly for Cortex power flow smoothing sited at the old temporary switch yard might be turning into reality.
@@WarrenLacefield 11:15 The actual chillers would be on the 4th floor, below the roof. I may be wrong on this. Dessie has more information than I do, But I think those that chiller plant is for cooling the south end of the original building. That would include part of BIW, Stamping, and GA, and maybe a small data center for the factory. Temporary cooling.... I believe there is now an interconnection that chiller plant and the new data center.... Two large pipes that go through stamping into the new data center, right below the roofline. Again, Dessie would have more accurate information. Maybe he can chime in on this.
@@WarrenLacefield Transformers and Megapacks.... You have a good point. The only question I have is that the existing Megapack installation as it is currently connected to the grid will automatically buffer power fluctuations and stabilize the grid, at least to some point. For those reading who haven't followed this..... In other words, when there are energy demand spikes from the H100s that are more than the grid could supply.... The Megapacks fill in the gaps. So is there a need for more Megapacks? This is still early speculation but the current construction seems to indicate that there is.
@@WarrenLacefield 11:15. Chillers. Would likely serve BIW directly below and everything westwards, Stamping 2, part of GA. Overhead views into the chiller plant show large pipes (2' 600mm, or more) running west. There are also pipes from the Data Centre through into Stamping 2. I would guess this has been the temporary chilled water supply into and out of the Data Centre. Other than a plant in Battery, all the chiller plant is in BIW.
They really need a building or canopy at the west end of the tunnel. Also the road at the end of the tunnel should slope away from the entrance to keep rain from flowing in.
I don’t know what they will do, but seems like a smallish building to cover the exit would make sense so they really never have to close the tunnel. It just is always open in both ends into a buildings.
Rain ingress. The ramp down would have retaining walls anyway, and that would also stop surface water flowing in from the sides. A bund/levee at the top of the ramp would keep out surface water. A grate drain/s would then be enough to deal with whatever rain falls directly on the ramp. Tunnel is 12’ 3.6m diameter. A ramp 100’ 31m long x 12’ 3.6m would be 1200sq foot, 111.5 m2. An inch/25mm of rain would be 111.5 x 25 2787litres 2.8m3 or 740 US gallons. What little rain gets past the grate drain would be picked up in the sump/s inside the tunnel.
Strategic is an appropriate word, the military industrial complex is integrated into the fossil fuels regime of support for defence, as we should expect. Times have changed and tech shifted applications, but "true love" never runs smooth and vested interests have enormous momentum. Circumstances will adjust, eventually.
Does the Boring tunnel have any forced ventilation? I know the EV’s don’t pollute but their tires do, and the paint inside the tunnel likely does. Radon? Depends where it is built but other contaminants that are heavier than air will accumulate. Must be some ventilation.
Lifting up a Xitload of portable Xitters onto the 1st floor, south extension. Condensation from general circulation of pumped water that is already cool enough to circulate back inside. The datacentre around mid building was fuming and fussing like she had seen the wrong end of a Lone Star.
9:25 still unsure why Joe tries to make it look like he’s not flying over the highways when you can clearly see traffic in the transition frame, indicating that it is, indeed, flying over the highway 🤔
Hi Joe ... have you heard how they do rain/dirt management inside the tunnel? Surely a lot must collect in the flat bottom under the highway. Not to mention critters.

I'm really looking forward to the Department of Government Efficiency.I hope they follow through with it.

If America really was just one president away from oligarchy (from a supposedly democratic republic), we would be in trouble. As it is, this slide to oligarchy is at least 40 years in the making. Reagan, Clinton, and Bush 2 did much more harm and Obama added quite a bit to get us here, too. Biden did little to reverse Trump, who won't be able to do as much as anyone fears or hopes anyway. The USA needed amendments & Second Bill of Rights decades ago. Now we need a straight up New Constitution.
Every oligark in Moscow supports Putin. Not because they like him, but simply out of fear. But he also knows, that each of them just dont want to end up like Navalny or Jeff Epstein, crossing the interests of a gangster with political power.
Apolitically speaking, what Elon did here is the biggest, most public, quid pro quo influence buy of a politician in history. No matter what you think of Trump or Musk or Musk's business interests, it doesn't bode well for the country.
Yes, it 's a shame there was/is such a toxic cocktail of lies/fear/corruption in this country. I believe a very large number of voters had to step outside their brain to vote for Trump. People typically do this kind of thinking out of fear/hatred. Putting a Trump in a 2nd time, it's not like we can say, "Oh, I didn't know ....." America (half of it anyway) chose to replace an old, demented person with another old, demented person, and a criminal to boot. Interesting times.
Strongly disagree there is ANY evidence of quid pro quo. Elon saw whose ideas would be best for his companies and the country, and he supported him. Basic politics 101. Not even a hint of quid pro quo. This is how politics is supposed to work. you support the candidate who you think is best.
I'd rather Trump be listening to Elon than neocon chicken hawks like Mike Pompeo or John Bolton. Elon is smart enough to know not to push for war with China. Not even a silly Second Cold War. The way I look at things, Elon is a possible ray of hope but let's face it: America needs a new Constitution either way. This one's dead.
@@ZipZoomZipTrump has no loyalty and would ditch Elon whenever it suits him. Elon has been foolhardy to think Trump will hold his word. The Biden administration implemented the IRA act which Tesla would have died without - no guarantee Trump will continue with IRA act or the $7500 Fed tax credit for EVs. Elon is likely thinking about fast tracking FSD regulation and starship launches in his support for Trump. FSD is many many years away and any Trump/Musk alliance is not going to benefit Tesla one iota in the medium term.
Hello Joe, I feel you are so right about Elon's companies and the election results. But also for Elon him self. As some one not even in tge USA it did seem that Biden was out to get him personally.

@@JoeTegtmeyer I'm sad because we know what kind of leader DJT was before. Now with new rules from the Supreme Court, I fear for our democracy. I've seen a lot in my 75 years on the planet nothing like this. Thanks for your flying Joe.
@@fernvalleyinn9172 Very sad that Americans chose to elect a felon, a dubious businessman at best and a threat to their own freedom and democracy for their President. I can understand the frustration with the economy but inflation was a global issue and it was not Bidens fault - it was the result of wars and a poorly managed Covid pandemic by Trump when he was last in office. It’s a tragedy for the United (divided?) States that he has been re-elected. I wish Americans knew how much Trump is despised around the globe - he is viewed as a total clown……
Elon may well have just been making a pragmatic decision to try and influence an easily-influenced powerful person. Dems have nice rhetoric about healthcare but Obamacare created massive profits for HMO's and docs get screwed while patients die from lack of care & medical records. If Dems supported Single Payer/Medicare For All, and not platformed genocide while refusing to put a single Palestinian voice on stage.. they threw the election. Voters of both parties are getting played.
Trump victory.... Great for Putin and Musk, not so sure about the rest of us. Harris came with her own set of problems. I didn't vote for either one of them. That is my rant for the day.
@@DavidJohnson-tv2nn OK … I do share the view both were poor choices. In any case, now they have to show if they can execute what they said they wanted to do.

The USA needed amendments & Second Bill of Rights decades ago. Now we need a straight up New Constitution.
Every oligark in Moscow supports Putin. Not because they like him, but simply out of fear. But he also knows, that each of them just dont want to end up like Navalny or Jeff Epstein, crossing the interests of a gangster with political power.
Apolitically speaking, what Elon did here is the biggest, most public, quid pro quo influence buy of a politician in history. No matter what you think of Trump or Musk or Musk's business interests, it doesn't bode well for the country.
Yes, it 's a shame there was/is such a toxic cocktail of lies/fear/corruption in this country. I believe a very large number of voters had to step outside their brain to vote for Trump. People typically do this kind of thinking out of fear/hatred. Putting a Trump in a 2nd time, it's not like we can say, "Oh, I didn't know ....." America (half of it anyway) chose to replace an old, demented person with another old, demented person, and a criminal to boot. Interesting times.
Strongly disagree there is ANY evidence of quid pro quo. Elon saw whose ideas would be best for his companies and the country, and he supported him. Basic politics 101. Not even a hint of quid pro quo. This is how politics is supposed to work. you support the candidate who you think is best.
I'd rather Trump be listening to Elon than neocon chicken hawks like Mike Pompeo or John Bolton. Elon is smart enough to know not to push for war with China. Not even a silly Second Cold War. The way I look at things, Elon is a possible ray of hope but let's face it: America needs a new Constitution either way. This one's dead.
@@ZipZoomZipTrump has no loyalty and would ditch Elon whenever it suits him. Elon has been foolhardy to think Trump will hold his word. The Biden administration implemented the IRA act which Tesla would have died without - no guarantee Trump will continue with IRA act or the $7500 Fed tax credit for EVs.
Elon is likely thinking about fast tracking FSD regulation and starship launches in his support for Trump. FSD is many many years away and any Trump/Musk alliance is not going to benefit Tesla one iota in the medium term.
In 2020 Zuckerberg sunk 250 million in Biden campaign, not to mention Twitter Google and others pushed him with money and influence, nothing new here

Hello Joe, I feel you are so right about Elon's companies and the election results. But also for Elon him self. As some one not even in tge USA it did seem that Biden was out to get him personally.
@@johnhjic2 thanks … now we will see how it all plays out over time.
Twitter was a democrat propaganda Machine. Buying it and make it politically neutral was an unforgivable sin in their eyes.
@@simson4t Didn't Musk restore the accounts of some Nazis? I don't think Making Twitter a far right propaganda machine is the answer to a democrat propaganda machine.
How it plays out over time. That is probably what some germans thought in the thirties. Do you know what 40 of his 44 cabinet members had said?
They should make Elon the CFO of the US
Get ready to get fired at any moment even when u think u performed at 150% 😂😂😂
if he works with us government we have to recuse himself from all his businesses.
Not really only if it's a cabinet role or senate hearing committee
He'll be informal at first like phone calls and visits to the white house but most likely when they set up a or if? A efficiency commission he won't run it but just a member with democrats and republicans but trump in charge
Just like Trump *should have* put his businesses into a blind trust but didn't? The uber rich are exempt from norms or laws, don't you know that?
Yea, all hail Reichsführer Musk.

@@JoeTegtmeyer I'm sad because we know what kind of leader DJT was before. Now with new rules from the Supreme Court, I fear for our democracy. I've seen a lot in my 75 years on the planet nothing like this. Thanks for your flying Joe.
@@fernvalleyinn9172 Very sad that Americans chose to elect a felon, a dubious businessman at best and a threat to their own freedom and democracy for their President. I can understand the frustration with the economy but inflation was a global issue and it was not Bidens fault - it was the result of wars and a poorly managed Covid pandemic by Trump when he was last in office. It’s a tragedy for the United (divided?) States that he has been re-elected. I wish Americans knew how much Trump is despised around the globe - he is viewed as a total clown……

Elon might be a good businessman, but he is not much of a human being if he is aligning with Trump.
Wow. Its true. The left is the party of hate
Elon may well have just been making a pragmatic decision to try and influence an easily-influenced powerful person. Dems have nice rhetoric about healthcare but Obamacare created massive profits for HMO's and docs get screwed while patients die from lack of care & medical records. If Dems supported Single Payer/Medicare For All, and not platformed genocide while refusing to put a single Palestinian voice on stage.. they threw the election. Voters of both parties are getting played.

Would that it were possible. With businessmen directing our destiny, we now have a shot.
The threat of socialism (and marxism/communism) is just fear mongering. Our corporate overlords would never allow it no matter who is in office. If it was going to happen it would have already.
