Randy please don't give up. You are a excellent videographer and drome documentalist and above all a exceptional talent researcher. I really miss your updates. I anyway will respect your decision. If you don't choose to camback, godspeed and my full respect to you.

I miss your updates, hope all is well…

Randy, please give us an update about if/when videos will resume. Thanks for all your good work thus far.

Randy, how about an update! It's been two months, and we miss you and the nice late day videos.

Where you at?!

Hey Randy, I miss your videos. What happened--did your work get too busy to continue with the videos? I know it must be a lot of work... Please let us know how you're doing! --Glenn

When will you return to making videos?

Really miss ya man hope everything is going well! please come back! the sunsets are slowing getting later again.

miss your videos! Hope things are going well for you!

1:25 How to tell this site is in Texas: 90% pickup trucks in the lot.

The heavy tarpaulin covered items by the stamping area are probably stamping dies for all the different panels that go to make car bodies. Such as sides, hood, trunk, doors, fenders, etc and most large panels have an inner and outer pressed panel welded together. Each finished panel probably needs about 4 separate dies each consisting of a lower and upper die. These dies are loaded into the multi stage press, mostly automatically nowadays for high volume manufacturers, from one side of the press whilst the dies that have finished their production run automatically move out of the opposite of the press. Once one set of dies for a particular panel have finished their production run they will go to the tool room for cleaning and maintenance so they are ready for their next required production run. Each die can weigh up to 50 tons.

Been waiting for your return and felt it was time to come right out and contact you. Hoping you will be back, miss your videos and commentary! Hope all is good for you and yours. Stay Healthy Be safe AD

It's always changing in massive ways. Buildings like this are alive with activity and it's bigger than many small towns. The sheer force of the work is mind blowing. To think of managing all of this manpower and energy is incredibly exciting.

Good morning to all with the exception of the person from yesterday. Nice work and thank you Randy.

I like the shots of the employee parking lots like those starting at 18:30. They give a good sense of the number of Tesla Employees on site. Super helpful in assessing how soon we will see cars rolling off the assembly line. Hoping to see the North parking lot filling up as well.

Things are definitely coming together. My main concern has always been making the building weather tight so production can begin. But perhaps this is misguided for such a large project. A few leaks, a few openings here and there doesn’t seem to be a problem when you have so much under cover. I was concerned many months ago when they started bringing robots in. Watching the videos I guess I’ve learned something about huge building construction and sequencing. Terrafactory: Time to start spitting those Model Ys out !

Thanks, Randy. Great video with the closeups overhead.

Hey Randy, how are you brother? My wife and I have enjoyed your videos and mellow commentaries. We hope you are having a nice break with your family for the holidays. Wishing you all a wonderful New Year! Peace.

Thanks for the video. Looks like Giga Texas will provide a nice Christmas present for Tesla.

Thanks Randy!

Excellent footage, Randy! I LOVE that you first do a summary with the key takeaways before rolling the timelapse. Thanks a bunch for doing this! Keep up the great work!

If you could get a closeup of the activity on the south east corner of the building, they have set up a tent area. Joe Justice said that is how agile manufacturing works. Set up a tent and design what you need from there. I noticed they staged 2 concrete pumpers there but that could be a coincidence. AS fast as they seem to be moving on the dirt work, we won't have to wait too long to find out. Also would love to see some after dark shots through the windows again.

Great video, recording fantastic progress.

Thanks for the flight today Randy, At 1:49 the two green tarped items under the gantries appear to be bases for a stamping press and the two items in the near field are the draw works that will be placed on the bases. It appears that they are assembling the second transfer press line. Near the base of the tower are more frames that were removed from other presses. The original line has five presses and this one could be similar. This is the start of the second assembly line to produce ---- what ?

@acmefixer1

The 2nd line of stamping presses does not seem to be for the Cybertruck because the CT bodies are much heavier sheet metal and would require larger presses. The throughput of one Gigafactory is a car every 90 seconds on each of two lines so I assume they would need the stamping presses for the full production of the model Y.

@@acmefixer1 Acme, The stainless 304L cold rolled .118" thick cannot be formed in a stamping press. The stainless only covers the outside of the cyber truck. The interior passenger cabin, door frames, bulkheads, glass mounting surfaces and other parts have compound bends and will be pressed of another metal, not stainless, before connection to the die cast front and rear. The stainless will be shaped only in straight lines or as Elon says, origami to form the exoskeleton. I do not know if this stamping line is for the truck. Actually a stamping lines production only has to do with the dies and are changed for the production requirements. Stamped parts are usually produced ahead and stored to feed BIW.

Hey, I noticed there hasn't been an update for a while. Did they ever finish that factory?

When the production is planned to start in Texas? Here in Germany/Berlin it looks like we are again delayed by environmental complaints.

They recently published government paperwork saying that the expected completion date such that they will get a certificate of occupancy which will allow normal production is December 31. That would make sense for certain tax purposes. So i expect them to be officially open for business on the 1st of January. That matches up with the Tax year.

Hey Randy. Your content is awesome, so thanks for sharing :) One question, the footage day is 12/06 or 12/07? Yesterday video was on 12/06 and almost on the same hour, so I thought you could have mistaked the number day. Just that, saludos!

When the paving is complete and vegetation returns the dust will be much less. Wind does not blow all the time. I have driven past the location many times and had no problem. After being stored here for a short time the product is placed on car carriers and driven down the road at 70 mph through all sorts of weather. And then the owner takes over ---

I reckon they will try to have transporters loading as quickly as possible once vehicles come out the factory door. Elon's recent email about reducing costs, minimising staging and vehicle movements saves money, it also gets the vehicle to the customer more quickly and therefore reduces the number of vehicles 'in transit' at any one time. This is also a working captial advantage for Tesla. Ford, GM, etc. have huge numbers of vehicles on lots, unsold, that costs them, increases market risk, discounting, incentives. Also I guess the volumes will be ramping from a low level, it will be many months before big volumes. It looks like the drainage is progressing well in the main carpark to the east. Once the area to the south of the building and the southern pond is levelled it can be prepared as a contractors zone for the southern gap. Then the main carpark to the east can be paved and there'll be clean roads from the factory door.

Of course they could have a dyno inside to check performance. If I was going to build a permanent track I would build it near the river in the flood plain, area cannot be used for buildings without a lot of fill. Good for test track and ecological paradise though. Of course if you are serious you could drive south a few miles to The Circuit of the Americas.
