About 3 months ago on 21 March, @elonmusk announced an ambitious @Tesla, @SpaceX, & @xai Advanced Technology Chip Fab located at Giga Texas just east of downtown Austin, Texas. This is expected to be "the most epic chip-building effort ever, combining logic, memory & advanced packaging under one roof." The chip designs produced at this facility will be key elements of future Tesla Autonomous cars, the @robotaxi service, Optimus Robots & orbiting AI Data Centers, among many more products. So, how is construction of this new facility coming along? Here is a 3-month visual recap showing the bulk of the work, consisting of a massive effort to relocate construction offices & trailers, materials & equipment related to past & on-going Giga Texas construction, drillings for soil sample testing, extension of River Rd, excavations for underground water pipes, tree clearing, basic grade work & initial GeoPier construction. There remains more relocation of workshops & the recycling center before the entire site is ready for construction, but progress is already quite noticeable. Imagine what this site will look like in 3 more months! @esherifftv @FelixSchlang @MarcusHouse @interstellargw

Joe Cybercab action at Giga Texas, including a Test Track facility dedicated for Cybercab testing, “Cybercab” logos on many of the cars parked in the outbound lot, noticeable inventory changes too (I get asked that often), many lined up at the factory exit point & more! Also, I noted the return of what looks like pick up and drop off stop testing in the same areas around the factory we saw this happening last year, but without a chase car. It did look like someone was in the Cybercabs driving around, but I think they were just supervising the autonomous drive, possibly working out some final details of the operation. Wouldn’t it be cool to start seeing Cybercabs available to employees as a kind of shuttle to being then to work and take them home? The @Robotaxi service does include Giga Texas. 🤔🤠

Giga Texas’s Test Track is operational with Cybercabs driving on it today! This video clip is from Nate @StarbaseBrewing and shows two Cybercabs using the track … view from the ground slightly obstructed by trees and vegetation, but I hear many Cybercabs have been using the track today. The photo is from the air and made by @AirwaveDynamics recently to show the current state of construction. Much of the road surfaces are now paved and marked,m along with rumble strips on the central straight section. More work remains to finish the track, but nice to see it in action. I’ll be flying on Wednesday after the rains leave the area and I get back on schedule after returning home after 2 weeks in Europe. In the meantime, check this out!
