Busy Monday morning and the bulk of the progress is on the south end where footing construction, rebar placement and concrete pours are quickly moving along. All of the column mounts on the footings appear to be about 2 meters tall and above grade, so this is a departure from what we saw in the main factory construction. Why do you think these column mounts are so different? Does this say anything about the height of the finished structure? Let me know!

There were eight new Cybertrucks on site today, one supercharging, two near the helicopter pad and five in the outbound lot. Based om my previous video and the VIN of the Cybertruck then, these should have VINs in the range of 865 to 880.

Here are some additional highlights from today’s video:

GeoPier work has resumes on the southwest end as well, indicating both CFA Piers and GeoPiers are needed to support this side of the extension. The CFA crane and drill appears still in the process of disassembly, bit it has not changed appearance in the last 48 hours.

The East multi-level parking garage construction site shows GeoPiers may be completed as all the equipment has been moved off the main site.

On the south end of the Body-in-White portion of the main factory, we see some of the large section of the TKS paint system being moved onto the second story temporary loading platform. This is another of these large and modular TKS Systems installed in the factory and is in addition two the two paint systems located further north in the paint section.

Three final electrical wiring is being installed on the east side of the casting machine section of the main factory. This is needed so the final connections at the electrical switchyard farther to the north can be made and bring the second large transformer online.
