Cooling towers seem awfully close to the power lines. I wonder if it will pose a problem during certain weather conditions such as fog.

Thanks for sharing, Brad!! You are amazing!

The speed of construction needs to be accelerated! In addition, employees’ cars should not be parked on the construction site to avoid hindering construction and asphalt paving.

It looks like they stopped using those QA tents possibly on August 22nd. That happens to be the day that drone footage from the Fremont plant showed them using an unmanned brightly lit video final QA tent. They drive through @ 5mph and go directly to the outbound lot.

More Tesla, less natural gas pipeline

Be storing castings in the southern extension before long. Should use the roof perhaps.

Even more cooling trucks down the east side... GT underestimated cooling requirements from the get go by a wide margin. It should be remembered that GT has yet to pump out EVs at any significant volume though this may change very soon. Hopefully.

Thanks Brad!
Transformers:
@ 6:31 and 9:24 Transformers look different? Would love to see the voltage ratings on the transformers @ 6:31

Employee lot not as full as usual. Maybe more are using the parking structure, or some are taking a long holiday weekend. Didn't look like any Cybertrucks were coming out of the factory. I wonder if most of the Cybertrucks ended up at the railyard or if that group of 200+ in that one area were transported by semi-trailers.

Maybe quality control moved inside the building?
