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!
A lot of changes today both for Giga Texas and Tesla to cover, with big operational changes on the west side which we cover in the video intro. I also saw a camouflaged Model Y driving around the site and a few near the crash testing facility. Big progress at the electrical switchyard with transformer catch basin and support slab, underground vault being back filled & two control trailers on top of the vault roof.

Big news concerning operational changes at Giga Texas including a push for more public venues & options for direct vehicle delivery from the factory.
A few key highlights: Customer direct vehicle deliveries have already been happening at a small level from Giga Texas for a few months … this also includes the 1st fully autonomous delivery across Austin
A new customer direct delivery center (essentially a sales center) is being added on the N end of the W End-of-Line (EOL) facility … this will be open to the public & will be used for customers who opt for this instead of autonomous delivery to their house
Customers will be able to take delivery & complete all paperwork to take possession of their new car at this location new road access is currently being added on the NW corner of the out bound lot, & the N-S road that connects to Tesla Road on the N & River Road on the S will allow customer access to this location
This recent decision changed the original plans for a new Welcome Center near Tesla Road … it will now be constructed in the large plot of land just N of the EOL & use the new public road access as well
Discussions continue about the potential second Boring Company tunnel for Model Y transit from the factory to the EOL facility. This debate is ongoing, but I think we will see a tunnel at some point.
