Luckily, TMC has sharp people like @KarenRei, who spotted that these are not actually cranes, and that instead foundation stabilisers are being driven into the soft ground.
Also, many thanks to new contributor @phnix, who earlier today explained about the need for such stabilisers at the site,
TMC (and the truth) is beating the shorts hands down.

Those are pile drivers. Due to soil conditions at the site, piles need to driven, literally, before anything else can be done.
Hello Chinese friends. Would you stretch your drones once per week so we could see the construction progres?
I'm sure you have fine drones.

Too funny. These are not cranes. They are foundation pile drivers, essentially they bore straight down into the soil to rock bed to which the voids are filled with concrete that supports the weight of the floor. Effectively it is a floating concrete floor supported by the concrete pile foundations, since even the compacted soil is not sufficient to support the structure due to local site conditions. And yes, this is the first step of construction after grading of site and compaction. Carry on Tesla.
Edit: A couple of posters beat me to this already.

Elon mentioned a Tesla Model 3 "Very Long Range". Maybe he let that one slip accidentally, or maybe that is not to be taken literally.
Tesla Twitter account:SA reporting that Model 3 ordering is open in China, I don't see any other confirmation anywhere else yet, TBH I didn't really look either

What I take from that: TSLAQ people are such dolts they don’t know what a crane is. I know a 4 year old who could teach them how to recognize one.
And what those pile drivers really show is how the Chinese contractors are lined up ready for the off as soon as the whistle got blown at the ceremony today. By crack of dawn tomorrow, they will be going at it hammer and tong, as they say.....
Thus far, the Chinese have not shown the type of animosity Tesla has received from US regulators, particularly the SEC.

Thank you
I suspect we are both age cohorts somewhat of mr bonestell, who depicted a lot of astronomical paintings, just a teensy tiny bit younger
He did a lot of illios for magazine F&SF

Looking at the video and the way it's reported by the Chinese, my take is this- GF3 is not just about TSLA.
It will be used by the Chinese as a showcase for their capabilities. After all, GF3 is the biggest foreign project from this kind in the area.
The probability of GF3 being build faster than stated today is quite big imho.

I imagine that these are friction piles rather than than end bearing piles. Friction piles don't go down to bedrock; they rely on friction against the piling for stability.
But, I could be wrong.
