Gigafactory Texas! This is where Model Y’s, and Cyber Truck production happens and soon, the Next Generation Car!
Busy day with production of both the Cybertrucks and Model Y's appearing to be at a high rate, possibly due to the new production shift schedule. We see the west EndofLine facility also busy with welldefined lines of cars marshaling to enter into the north end for processing.

In the video introduction, I discuss the breaking news that X Corp, another of Elon Musk's companies is relocating from California to Texas, and I show some possible locations where this might be located in the Bastrop area where the Boring Company and Space X already has facilities.
I also discuss a recent Czech Republic Tesla Club tour group which met with me at the Hyperloop Plaza in Bastrop and some of the items we discussed. Finally, I talk about the upcoming 2nd Qtr Financial Results meeting coming up at Giga Texas on 23 July.
In addition to seeing increased production rates of both the Model Y's and Cybertrucks, we see a lot of construction activity on the south end, particularly with the concrete prep work for the three south facing tunnels and loading aprons, the southwest corner new entrance area grade work, and continued installation of the huge water pipes for the cooling plant.
In the east side of the casting machine section, a large mud base has been applied on the graded dirt area just north of the baghouse plant structure, with an interesting moundlike raised section in the middle. We can see the tops of the screwtype piers sticking above the mud base, so pile cap rebar should be installed next, along with forms around the perimeter.
Crews were busy installing more filtration systems and ducting on the south end of the baghouse plant, with two very large metal radiused ducting units just delivered during the time my drone was over the plant.
Finally, the Cathode chiller plant continues to see operation of the two trailers cooling/pump units and the two trailered generators. A new crane is operational just to the north of the chiller plant, so perhaps we might see additional construction beginning in this area soon.
