Cybercabs, Model Y Standard Prod & Huge Transformer Arrives! 17 Oct 2025 Giga Texas Update(12:35 PM)

From Joe Tegtmeyer.

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!

Later than normal flight today gives great lighting and perfect flying conditions to get updates after a few days away for me to attend the Starship Flight 11 at Starbase.

The biggest news items today include an engineering Cybercab driving with flashers on along River Road, seven covered Cybercabs at the crash testing facility, Model Y Standard production is now well underway along with the Premium versions and Cybertrucks, and the 1st of 2 huge transformers being delivered at the electrical switchyard.

In the video introduction, I recap some of my trip to Starbase to watch Starship Flight 11 successfully achieve all planned objectives and brought the V2 booster and starship development program. Next up is the V3 upgraded versions of both the ship and booster and a brand-new launch tower, mount and water deluge system.

I also discussed a large number of Cybertrucks that were at Starbase and the ongoing program with SpaceX, The Boring Company and XAI to replace their gas and diesel vehicles while helping Tesla clear out a large part of the Cybertruck inventory. A Win-Win for all companies involved.

We discuss the Cybercab drivi9ng on the south side of the factory along River Road and under the south bridge to the west support facility and the Model Y Standard production.

I also talk about the delivery of the first of two huge transformers at the electrical switchyard expansion, along with many other updates, installed equipment and steel items, plus more foot9ing and slab construction. There is also a new perimeter fence bei9ng installed around the expanded area.
