It makes sense to upgrade the Superchargers for several reasons: The V4 pedestals have longer cables, which means they don't have to be as precise in parking the Cybertrucks. Even with V3 cabinets supporting it, it may facilitate higher power output, and at times they will want to get vehicles through quickly to make room for more. And, of course, upgrading the pedestals gets them ready to upgrade the cabinets later.
At around 9:50 this morning, probably right after Joe left, some one working on the natural gas pipeline replacement nicked the active gas line and released some natural gas. They evacuated the immediate area including the cooling tower area, but not the larger Gigafactory itself. They were able to shut things down quickly and nobody was hurt and the evacuation lasted only a few minutes. Hopefully they’ll get some dirt on those pipelines soon. Get them buried and safe.
Are there regularly spaced isolation valves along pipelines? I guess if there are, they would have made sure the valves were functioning correctly as part of the safety procedure. AFAIK there are 2 pipelines in this easement. I wonder if the pipeline being repaired supplies the Sandhill power plant, and if it also terminates there.
@ one of the pipelines is for natural gas and is owned by Atmos Energy, a small regional energy company. The other is also natural gas and owned by Kinder Morgan, one of the largest pipeline companies in the world with over 79,000 miles of pipelines in North America. If you feel like jumping into the rabbit hole, you can go look at the pipeline map at the Texas Railroad Commission web site. In spite of the name, they don’t actually manage the railroads in Texas. Instead they manage all natural resources including oil and gas production, distribution, and transportation. On paper, the Commissioner of the RRC is the fourth most powerful person in the state, after the Governor, Lt. Governor, and Chairman of the House. In reality, she might actually be higher than that. They can set how much oil and gas can be produced on State of Texas lands and leases. Some say that OPEC was modeled after the RRC since they often limited production back in the early 60s to maintain oil and gas prices in the nation. After all, the State earns a good percentage of the profits from the production of our petroleum products. It’s one of the reasons that Texans enjoy lower property taxes and some of our state universities have huge endowments. Anyway, if you go to their website, they have a GIS map of not only wells of all types but the differing pipelines, tank farms etc. It’s a hell of a map.
@@Bill_N_ATX Thanks Bill! Down the rabbit-hole. Answered one question for me, neither pipeline terminates at the powerplant. Means they could potentially isolate a section without the powerplant losing supply. Sandhill Lateral Extension not made it the plans yet. I guess until it is complete and signed off, there's no need to show it.
@@DessieDoolan I think that’s the plan. I think they also want to connect the power plant to both pipelines in case of an issue, or one is cheaper than the other. Kinder Morgan is an 800 pound gorilla, with lots of pipelines to interconnect to just about anywhere. Atmos is a regional energy company. Still pretty big, but not a huge company. As you can see, Texas is just covered in pipelines and oil and gas wells. The RRC stays steady busy keeping up with those guys.
MEANWHILE in Nevada... The new simi factory has 4 of the 6 sections up. Some guys are beginning to lay down roofing while others are hard at work erecting the last 2 sections. The building should be closed in before the snow flies. !
The arrow on the driveway is for semi trucks to exit the building, On the other side near the big tanks is the entrance, so semi trucks can enter and unload steel coils with the bridge cranes that were installed early in the extension construction. The steel coils must be kept dry and unloaded in the area of the stamping presses. After unloading the semi will exit on the west side, a one way drive. Note there is another arrow on the east side where the semis will enter,
Watching the progression in Giga Texas, I am reminded of my journey with cold emails-it is all about persistence and finding the right tools. Yall ever tried Do You Mail? Unlimited email sending is the stuff dreams are made of, and I cannot stress enough how that saved my budget. High delivery and reputation have kept me confident in my campaigns, more stable than any production line at the DIE Shop construction.

Thanks Joe! Possible Megapack site: @ 25:08 (Right) Looks like there may be a pond to the right. Not too different from the pond east of the existing substation. With Megapacks possibly going in the area being graded.

Note: Option 2 would require a new BESS substation. Also note: There are still no new permits or any other information, other than what we see here, to indicate that there will be a new Megapack site. EOL facility: @ 17:23 New road being paved to connect the tunnel to the EOL facility. Supper charger upgrade: @ 16:54 While they are changing the charging pedestals.... Cabinets appear unchanged after the upgrade.
The pedestals are V4, however, the SuC Cabinets are V3.5. This is the latest configuration being installed at New sites around the US. We already know they have the ability to turn up the output at existing sites based on the discovery by Teslatino and confirmed by Wes Morell.
I was thinking that economy car Tesla is said to be working on could it be underway on the ground floor of the parking garage behind those curtains? Away from prying eyes & drone cameras? !

W. Paving, DIE Shop construction, Prod Equip Arrivals & More! 13 Nov 2024 Giga Texas Update (07:25AM) is an amazing development and I could not help but relate it to how cold email tools are pacing up with similar innovations. Speaking of which, ever felt like you are struggling with cold emailing? I have been riding the Mystrika wave for a bit now, and let me tell you, it is like finding the missing piece to the cold email puzzle. That user-friendly interface makes it such a breeze to manage everything! Not to mention the detailed analytics, which are like having a true, reliable friend in your cold email journey. Seriously, it is a pay-once-use-forever deal and it is been a major game-changer. Give it a whirl and see for yourself, you would not regret it!
They are actually spraying asphalt prime coat, not tack coat. The prime coat soaks into the pores of the aggregate subbase and fills them so the liquid asphalt in the blacktop mix does not soak into the pores before the mixture cools. Tack coat is a different mixture that is sprayed between layers of blacktop.
Dying to replicate Giga Texas-level efficiency in everyday tasks? Then cold email might just be your playground and Mystrika your tool. A quick peek at their free Cold Email Accelerator masterclass guide is a treasure-a true blueprint. If I could highlight just one feature, the high-precision analytics would be it. They are akin to having a radar for success. Every campaign feels entirely manageable, from email setup to audience reaction. If you want to master the abroad email game, Mystrika is where it is at, hands down!
If they are going to have the vehicles self drive themselves over to finishing then they should install inductive charging pads instead of superchargers. I know one guy could plug in a lot of superchargers and induction is slower (for now). Maybe stick an Optimus over there to work the superchargers.
At 23•14 outside the 4680 end of the factory, I noticed at least one, maybe two, windows. Were they awaiting installation, or had they just recently been removed?
Great update. WRT the could it be possible that they are the transformers used to manage X number of wireless charger pads for the Cyber Cab? and potential future Wireless capabilities of the CyberTruck? (Monro said there are headers in the cybertruck battery pack possibly for wireless charging . 2nd floor of the new south end extension, the portojohns have been moved to the edge of the slab so to me they are pulling them out to start putting up glass.
102 transformers rated @ 4.8 MW in one group and 80+ in another group. That is way more than what would be needed for charging of any kind. Speculating that some of the transformers (not all) will be used south of the existing substation boost low voltage from a new Megapack installation (480 volts) to medium voltage (34.5 kV). See work @ 25:08
Two thoughts come to mind after watching Joe. 1. If the cyber trucks don’t exit the boring tunnel autonomously then it would be total hypocrisy on Teslas part as to the readiness of FSD. 2. Production equipment for the cybercab has already been purchased/delivered ahead of FSD being solved. Thats potentially a huge waste of capital expenditure if FSD isn’t solved and they can’t produce the robotaxi. I suspect that’s Elon’s ploy to put pressure on autonomy team to solve FSD.
Love your work, Joe! Thanks. I have a tiny wording question, and sorry if it's already been covered: Isn't that "paint" on the building and inside the tunnel, rather than "stain"? Here in Australia it definitely is, I had a bit of a check on US language and it seems the same there? So this is paint, rather than stain?
The excess heat from the southern extension is simply being lost to the atmosphere. What a waste. There's a power plant just across the river that could put the hot water to good use, after which it could return cooled water to Tesla to begin the process again. Symbiosis. That would nicely fit in with its mission about using sustainable energy.
sorry, but the thermodynamics say otherwise. To convert hot water from a datacenter to energy (electricity) the technical solution is theoretically possible but at a prohibitively low overall efficiency. The only practical solution is to use hot water for town heating, or argriculture (hothouse). In colder climates there are already initiatives to use this waste heat for civil use, with a simple (but very large) heat pump in-between to reach say 150deg C. In Texas it is difficult to see any use for warm water. There is a new chiller technology to use hot water ex datacenter to generate cold, using silica gel for an absorption-forced desorption cycle, but that is a voluminous contraption that hasn't been scaled up commercially to the best of my knowledge, but hopefully I'm wrong on that. That would mean that inside the main building they can use part of the waste heat for chiller/hvac functionality. Maybe they'll give it a try! But no use whatsoever for this hot water at the powerplant.

@@josephhobbs4754 Art has to be interpreted in relations to the contemporary context. The way that Elon has been supporting a certain politician is impossible to ignore. The timing of the placement of this piece of art seems more than just coincidental.
@@DessieDoolan Mostly yes. Which is why I said "slightly off topic". Care to answer my question? I mean really, what do you think about guys like Musk, with an obvious conflict of interest, influencing government policy? I'm sure you wouldn't be happy if he came to Australia and did that? Or would you be ok with it?
To be more clear.... I wonder what the guys on the right would say if George Soros were to buy Twitter for 44 $billion to help get Bernie Sanders elected. And then Bernie Sanders put him in a position of influence. I'll bet the guys on the right would be screaming? Am I wrong?
If guys running Iran were to make another mistake, and they probably will... I think the problem will be solved in the coming days, weeks, or months. Which will be better for both the people of Iran and the rest of the world.

In colder climates there are already initiatives to use this waste heat for civil use, with a simple (but very large) heat pump in-between to reach say 150deg C. In Texas it is difficult to see any use for warm water. There is a new chiller technology to use hot water ex datacenter to generate cold, using silica gel for an absorption-forced desorption cycle, but that is a voluminous contraption that hasn't been scaled up commercially to the best of my knowledge, but hopefully I'm wrong on that. That would mean that inside the main building they can use part of the waste heat for chiller/hvac functionality. Maybe they'll give it a try! But no use whatsoever for this hot water at the powerplant.

Slightly off topic, but... I'm just curious. With Trump selecting Musk to influence government policy, doesn't that make him an oligarch?
Aren't you just here for the construction?
@@DessieDoolan Mostly yes. Which is why I said "slightly off topic". Care to answer my question?
I mean really, what do you think about guys like Musk, with an obvious conflict of interest, influencing government policy? I'm sure you wouldn't be happy if he came to Australia and did that? Or would you be ok with it?
@@DavidJohnson-tv2nn No, I don't care to answer your question. I'd prefer to stick to the topic of construction and manufacturing.
@@DessieDoolan Then why reply to my comment?
To be more clear....
I wonder what the guys on the right would say if George Soros were to buy Twitter for 44 $billion to help get Bernie Sanders elected. And then Bernie Sanders put him in a position of influence. I'll bet the guys on the right would be screaming? Am I wrong?
tesla supposed to make all electric short range airplanes soon. just saying

I am from Iran
Do not buy Oil from Iran
Oil money goes for tourists, Buy EV car
If guys running Iran were to make another mistake, and they probably will... I think the problem will be solved in the coming days, weeks, or months. Which will be better for both the people of Iran and the rest of the world.

Basically Iran is in for some problems if they keep doing what they are doing.
@@DavidJohnson-tv2nn It's worth noting that there are a number of Iran hawks chosen for positions already. This isn't the place for this David, especially going forward.
