23 September 2026 Giga Texas Snapshots! 1 day before the big
@tesla_semi unveiling & one is on prominent display at the W main entrance to help celebrate this major milestone for the company and the Semi as a product! We also see many Cybercabs all over the site today including on the top of the multi-level parking garage for the first time, along with more at the factory exit and on W outbound lot. Even more were busy testing on the track again today, along with some Model Y’s.
@Cybertruck production was moving along well too, with many over at the EOL sorting lanes & on transport trucks departing the site. We also see a constant stream of tricks pulling many Cybertruck castings being moved from the N sorting lot to the start of the production line.
The W clearing and graded area has more Geotextile membranes, top soil and one last large area getting deep reclamation work to finish off the grade for a new construction project.
The E side Vertical Recirculating Conveyor (VRC) system being added to the exterior of the main factory is making a lot of progress with more steel and other component assembly onto the main structure. I think this is to help further automate casting deliveries to the factory, possibly both the Model Y’s and the Cybercabs.
The Advanced Tech chip fab foundation continues to see large sections of concrete poured with even more new cranes are being set up for work on the next phase of construction at this new facility.
Steel assembly & S footing/grade beam final work is well underway at the Optimus Factory on the N Campus part of the overall site. Roof decking is also being added on the N end of the structure while cranes there continue to hoist steel beams for crews to assemble, lengthening the overall build even more.
Lots more going on today!
