26 August 2026 Giga Texas Snapshots! Hot morning again, with plenty of production of Model Y’s, Model YLs, @cybertruck & Cybercabs coming out of the E factory exit! The outbound lot was busy taking in more vehicles from the factory & shipping them out on trailer trucks. On the S bank of the Colorado River, crews were finishing up work to pull a massive HDPE pope under the river and additional work near the Austin Energy power plant. The E Advanced Chip Fab foundation work continues with more heavily reinforced footings, GeoPiers and concrete pours. Nearby, the lined water retention pond was getting more liner material and some fill dirt placed on top of the liner. The W clearing near Tesla Road continues grade work as crews are working to raise and level the grade here for a future project. At the North Campus, the Optimus Factory continues growing larger & for the 1st time, crews are working on massive trenches for the underground water management loop, taking advantage of the on-site pipe fabrication setup. Footing work on the S end continues as well, including what may be foundation locations for Giga Presses (or similar). The E side exterior wall modifications on the main factory continues today too, with newly reconfigured concrete wall panels being installed where there was once large glass panels. Lots more to see today!
