Giga Texas tweet poll meant for SpaceX?

[Cosmacelf]

So Elon just tweeted a poll asking Giga Texas, yes or no. But could it be for SpaceX?

Cybertruck. Definite Yes. Imagine the logisitical efficiency of locating the factory near all those potential customers.

Cybertruck indeed, but for synergies with SpaceX stainless steel foundry IMHO

Nope, not Space X. All the Tesla factories are named “Giga” something.

I also think Elon is hinting at plans to build a Texas factory for battery production and the Cybertruck. There is no more room at Fremont to build a new vehicle. Texas would be the perfect place to build the Cybertruck, in the heart of “big truck country”.

Most likely Cybertruck and Semi

Minimizing welds: if the steel roll were large enough, could it be unwound and welded at an angle to create a one-piece spiral rocket body?

Similar to cardboard tubes for paper towels.

I had wondered this as well but after tearing a cardboard tube apart and looking at the unusual bend required was not sure the resulting tube would be as strong.
