Gigafactory Texas! This is where Model Y’s, and Cyber Truck production happens and in 2025, the Next Generation Car(s), Cybercab & the Optimus Robot!
High level clouds early cleared up to sunny skies about 2/3ds of the way through the drone flight today, but otherwise, conditions were nearly perfect, and we get to see some interesting developments around the site. I tour around the far east and north parts of the site today to reveal areas I don’t normally visit, mainly because of the distances involved, but I’m glad I did because we get to see some new developments!

Drone flight overview with discussion & illustration: 0:06 to 2:52
Drone flight footage & infographics: 3:14 to 28:37
In the video introduction, I discuss the recent Frunk or Treat Halloween event on the east side parking lot for em0loyees. We saw Cybercabs with bats & skeletons inside, a Ghost Busters themed Cybertruck, a Tesla Semi, original roadster, Optimus robots & much more. This is an annual event and is very popular with employees and their families.
I also discuss today’s 3rd Quarter Financial Results meeting that will be held here at Giga Texas at 4:30 PM CDT (2130 UTC) and this one should be a great one following record vehicle deliveries in the quarter and record energy storage deployments.
Since there is an opportunity for Tesla to discuss upcoming events, perhaps we will get some news about the Cybercab production line, Robotaxi service expansion plans, Optimus robot progress, Full Self Driving V14, and many other subjects.
Finally, I remind viewers of the 6 November Shareholders Meeting which may be the most significant event for the company, with many key items up for vote, including the CEO compensation plan, and perhaps new product demos like the V3 Optimus and possibly the new Roadster.
If you have not yet voted your shares, there are several ways to do so and you can find this at the it.Tesla.com website. You have until 5 November 2025 to ensure your votes are properly registered and counted!
A lot to see in today’s drone flight and of course talk about along the way! Thank you for watching and I hope this has been informative, educational, and entertaining for you.
