TESLA: Brookshire, TX, Megafactory, October 4th, 2026 It was an overcast day, but that did not slow the Megafactory. The site was busy, with more employee vehicles and equipment than on recent flyovers. Production looks close. ** Before the highlights, please become a paid subscriber here on X or YouTube and support the flyovers. Thank you. ** The most visible change is eight gray Megapack 3 frames now sitting on the southeast lot, and three COMBiLIFTs on site. On the south side of the 1-million-square-foot factory, a new large white tent is up. Steel beams are now in place along the foundation for three of the large vertical tanks. The new large ramp and entrance on the north side now has a massive roll-up door. A large amount of perimeter work is underway along Empire Boulevard and the west end, around the cooling tower and the main entrance. Landscape has been removed in places, and concrete is either poured or the rebar is set for a pour. The Empire Boulevard perimeter fence was moved closer to the factory, and a temporary fence is now closer to the boulevard. The east end of Empire Boulevard is being reworked so Class 8 trucks and trailers can enter and exit more easily as soon as they turn onto the boulevard.

SPACEX: The contract with the Industrial Development Board of Vermilion Parish, SpaceX agreed to job penalties for Starbase Louisiana. - The job clock starts at least 12 months after all launch-pad permits are issued. - Required full-time jobs rise from 18 in year one to 3,000 from year 10 on. - Jobs count only if they pay at least 150% of average state wages. - Transfers from other states count. Local hiring is not required. - If SpaceX misses a target for two straight years, the penalty is the percentage shortfall times 1.8 times that year’s tax savings. - A miss of more than 50% requires repayment of the full annual savings. The deal is estimated to save SpaceX $23.8 billion in property taxes over 25 years. The parish is to receive about $25 million a year, plus 2% annual increases and a $20 million payment within 90 days of signing. I do not think SpaceX is going to have any issues on meeting these goals. More SpaceX news in today's EC below!

SPACEX: The Lafayette Metropolitan Expressway Commission met yesterday, September 29th, and several speakers stated Starbase, LA, now makes faster work on the Lafayette Metropolitan Xpressway more urgent. The 36-mile, 5,000-foot-wide corridor runs from I-49 near Carencro south to Maurice in Vermilion Parish, then east into parts of Iberia and St. Martin parishes. In May, state law was amended to let the commission build in Vermilion and Iberia parishes. Jacobs Engineering project manager Patrick Owens said the likely path is a public-private toll partnership to design, build, and maintain a four-lane road; a 10-month traffic study will include estimated SpaceX demand. Commission Chairwoman Elaine Abell said the project predates SpaceX but nearby growth increases pressure. More SpaceX news in today's EC below!
