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!
Cloudy, light rain on occasion but otherwise good morning to fly around Giga Texas today! I start off the video with a 3-year look back to a nice sunrise over the south end showing what the factory looked like before the south extension began construction, then I transition to a current view form the same vantage point to help illustrate the differences. I hope you enjoy this along with the rest of the video!

In the video introduction, I talk some about the recent sightings of the Tesla Semi truck and the Megacharger at the west side outbound lot and a view of it driving along the west side of the main factory with a trailer attached, so we know it is being used in some manner and I hope we see more Semi’s at the factory at work soon!
I also discuss a few developments to look for in the main video, including the delivery of even more transformers on the far southwest staging yard today. At least 10 more transformers were delivered, and I got a good video segment of the crane lifting the transformer out of the trailer and onto the ground next to many more previously delivered.
Although there are at least four different types of transformers here, a Patreon of mine (Dessie Doolan) suggested I look at some of these more closely as he believes some may be of the same kind as those being installed at the Megapack #2 so perhaps this indicates we might see another Megapack installation on the north end?
The Cortex 2 facility is now at the full length with all steel assembly completed, however there appears to be some provisions in the form of footings and mounts that might allow for the facility to extend further to the north. The cranes have been moved away and appeared to be in the process of disassembly.
Lots more to see in the video today including a good amount of production with new vehicles in all four lanes next to the End-of-Line facility full and plenty in the outbound lot.
Thank you for watching and I hope this has been informative, educational, and entertaining for you. If you would like, please consider supporting me via Patreon (link is in the description of this video and in the video itself) so I can continue to make and share these incredible videos.
