Gigafactory Texas on 6 September 2021! This is where the Cyber Truck and Model Y will be built!

Tour around on a quiet Labor Day holiday!

We take advantage of a quiet day on the site to get a good perimeter tour and then some close in shots around the main factory building.

Here are the highlights from today's video:
- We tour around the perimeter of the entire construction site to help put into context all the areas that are currently getting some level of work performed, before going in for some close-in shots around the main factory structure.
- At the casting machine structure, we look inside to get closer views from a different angle of the two Giga Press foundations being constructed (likely for 8,000-ton presses!), and we see the roof concrete work and how it has progressed in the past few days.
- On the south end, I noted a new security check point on the road to the west side and a sign that is for GA employees (likely parking).
- We also look in the central area to see the footings now have rebar projections signifying possible concrete columns may be installed here (for a very heavy load bridge crane in most likelihood), and the pier machines positioned to get back to work tomorrow.
- We look at several areas on the main roof where cutouts, equipment and access panels are being installed. Many of these are likely for HVAC cooling vents or towers, whereas others may be a part of the roof rainwater collection system.
- Two more space frames are being assembled today on the east side and more parts suggest we will see a couple more of these frames assembled this week to finish off the "alley" roof.

I hope you enjoy this Labor Day holiday tour around the main site and the main factory structure. It’s likely this will be a very busy week starting tomorrow, and we’ll be back to the normal drone coverage of the action!
