The latest WuWa video revisits an area he believes may be the location of a new Tesla factory. I consider it speculation fit for weekend post, noting considerable vacant land adjacent to the east and south of the current factory which would seem to make more sense. However there's no question...

I've only seen anecdotal reports of non-Tesla vehicles in Europe able to use Superchargers. Anyone have the full story? The reply is part of this twitter thread: https://twitter.com/Kristennetten/status/1340507683409969155

Nice fly through of the Berlin factory site on a quiet day, taking the opportunity to peek inside in the buildings. The paint shop already has an impressive amount of equipment moved inside.

I enjoyed watching this short (~1 min) video from Wuwa several times. It's a time lapse showing the impressively coordinated movement of new Model 3 vehicles around the Shanghai factory site. On the west side, new bridge construction nears completion, and it appears Tesla has taken over a...

Today at the Texas factory site: The steel structure has gained a second level with corrugated flooring and what looks like roof trusses on top. There are hundreds of footings already completed, so I hope to see the assembly accelerate rapidly. The big foundations at the south end are really...

Lots of interesting stuff this week. The outside ramp to the upper level of the Model Y factory building has been demolished, along with the waste processing facility which was next to it: New waste processing facility appears to be under construction at the rear of the property behind the...

Exclusive: Indonesia to woo Tesla investment in push to become battery superpower

Exactly one year ago, Elon announced the location of Tesla's new factory in Berlin: Construction began in May. Today the buildings are almost fully enclosed and lots of exciting stuff is happening inside and out. Sorry for posting this in the wrong thread earlier.

Texas factory update - lots of activity all over the site. Things seem to have sped up these last few days. A precast concrete column has arrived by truck, similar to components used at the Berlin factory. More steel components are arriving as well.

Presumably because of this! https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1324283305789812736

Tesla dismisses project manager for factory in Grünheide Tesla entlässt Projektleiter für Fabrik in Grünheide

Texas factory update - crane moved to north end of foundation, and first columns erected. Seems like just a test? Doesn't look like they are ready to scale up yet. I'm a little disappointed to see small metal components, instead of the large precast concrete components used in Berlin...

Berlin factory update. Many more container office/dorms are being setup, perhaps in preparation to ramp interior construction. The buildings will all be enclosed soon.

From the Ottawa Tesla Facebook group: Model 3 purchased before around March 2020 (?) now have Premium Connectivity for life! I can't find any announcement - not sure if this applies only to Ontario or what. But I can confirm that my vehicle purchased June 2019 now has it. Previously, I had one...

Shanghai factory update. Model 3 production appears to be back up to full speed, with vehicles continuously streaming through the delivery area, including use of the new supercharger stalls.

In the latest video below (skip to 12:00), the drone flies around the mobile batch plant, and it can be plainly seen that one of the mixers has 3 belts feeding it, and the other has 4. Why would this be?

Texas factory update. Getting a lot busier. In addition to the usual massive earth moving and geopier operations, there is now continuous pumping of concrete, and a large crane is being assembled.

Berlin factory update - first windows installed in drive unit building! Amazing progress all over the site.

Shanghai factory update - lots of activity. New access road construction well underway. Model 3 production appears to be back up to speed, many vehicles visible. New excavations for additional structure(s) behind the stamping extension of the Model 3 building.

Close range fly through of the Berlin factory site. They may be taking a day off, but this build is progressing very rapidly.

Shanghai factory flyover. It appears that Model 3 production has resumed; the test track has lots of vehicles, and there is a row of car carriers lined up to accept deliveries.

Shanghai factory flyover. Still not much activity, presumably due to the holidays. Site cleanup slowly continues, there's some new digging to improve the water's edge along the outside of the fence. The new road will be entering the property right at the giant supercharger station, but we don't...

Short update from the Texas factory site - too windy for much drone flying. North pond completely filled. Excavation begun on a new foundation section at the south end.

Tesla Battery Day Slides 2020/09/22

Shanghai factory flyover. Construction and cleanup continues, but manufacturing still appears to be idle. There are very few Model 3 visible on site. Solar panels have been installed in at least three different areas of the new building rooftops, but not at large scale.

Giga Texas update - first concrete poured! Perhaps it should be called Tera Texas now? ~~~~Not in this thread it won't be. Confine that bloviated term to the moronically named TeraFactory thread. Fair warning to all, and too bad for any poster who didn't see this.~~~~~

Giga Berlin weekend update. Lightning rods installed at the switchyard. Exterior of drive unit building almost complete.

Timelapse of Giga Berlin today. This is a long shot from across the road, mostly focused on the switchyard area. Lots of activity. Numerous Tesla vehicles in the office parking area. :)

Giga Texas today.

There are piles of cast parts all over the place. At around the 1:40 mark a robot can be seen unloading a freshly cast part from the giga press.

It's rainy and muddy again at Giga Texas today, most of the heavy equipment is idle. However they are still installing geopiers at the same pace.
