Can I get some likes

 

[AudubonB]

Would you please stop with this “Tera-“ nonsense? If for no other reason, although there are plenty, it diminishes any material you would like to contribute.

And....”Can I get some likes?”? Word.

 

[JG T3SLA]

Sounds optimistic for keeping on schedule for end of 2021.

Why is it nonsense? If the CEO calls it Tera, who are we to object?

Elon Musk -- Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer

I think we will announce the next Giga possibly as soon as a month.

Spoiler: more words

We may not -- as soon as next month. This is not a prediction, just saying. That's -- that could happen. It will certainly be within three months and possibly one month. And that would be in the US. So as for how many will be in five years, I'm not -- I don't know right now what that number would be. I guess, several more than there are today. But I'm not sure, what exactly it would be in five years, but some number more than today.

Zachary J. Kirkhorn -- Chief Financial Officer

I'll also add that our Gigas have gotten bigger.

Elon Musk -- Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer

Yes.

Zachary J. Kirkhorn -- Chief Financial Officer

And...

Elon Musk -- Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer

It could arguably -- it could start being called Tera.

 

[AudubonB]

Except that he isn't doing that. "Arguably" and "could" is not the same as "is" - even in Elon-speak.

Nice find -- so I can expect to get my CT in June? I pre-ordered last week.

Just Wow. It’s good that you’re not a moderator anymore.

You'll get your CT when Tesla's damn good and ready for you to get it ... NOT BEFORE THAT!!

Well that was.... Rude... dog...

“Anymore” ≠ “Vacation”

For crying in the mud, if you’re going to go Full Frontal Texan about this, why that pissant “Tera” term? Call it a PetaFactory. Call it an EkaFactory. Call it a LumaFactory.

Words matter. Abuse them, and they become meaningless. That’s why not.

A splendid example, and look at the two-year old’s word under my avatar!!!!!!

Will be released before ready and fixed in customer service

Tesla Cybertruck poised to start trial production runs in Giga Texas in May 2021

 

[AudubonB]

A Q for those of you in Austin / Travis County:

That red earth that forms most of the submaterial the GF site developers have been leveling - is that relatively benign in wet weather, or does it act like Louisiana gumbo or Georgia clay or Wyoming bentonite or other slicker 'n otter snot unmentionable ~~~~~~ ?

 

[CyberGus]

I've lived several places in the Austin metro area. Round Rock had nice topsoil but you couldn't dig 3 inches without hitting solid rock (it's named after a different rock). Pflugerville had mostly reddish clay with poor absorption and high volumetric variance with moisture content that ruined the foundation of my house during a drought (apparently I was supposed to know that I need to water my foundation? whaaa). However, that's on the the North end of TX130, and I imagine much of the topsoil at the (giga/terra/ultra)factory site is sedimentary from the nearby Colorado.

tl;dr: i dunno

 

[AudubonB]

remind me not to build my balance level manufacturing site in Pflugerville.....
