And note Joe has captured (documented) the industry electrical transformer constraint and the Tesla construction team’s forward planning - for multiple years now!
Where’s Herbie?
From 10.2M sqft headed to 20M sqft with the new 5.2M sqft North Campus (Optimus) and SpaceX joint venture Advanced Technology Fab…
Note the signature Tesla GFTX chamfered corner building architectural design.
Thank, Joe!
Did you know today is the 6th anniversary of the official start of @Tesla Giga Texas! Here’s a brief look back at this day in 2020 and some of the earliest and rarest views of the site as it appeared just prior to construction start!
This location and factory have come a long way in just 6 years, from building a car manufacturing facility to the world headquarters and now fully embracing AI and Humanoid Robots, @Robotaxi and joint ventures with @SpaceX
What will the next 6 years bring? 😎 @jackfarrington
Another excellent @JoeTegtmeyer & Brain / @FutAZA discussion on GFTX Austin!

@JoeTegtmeyer@JoeTegtmeyer great work on GFTX North Campus drone flight. The Chamfered corners of the construction is interesting (seems to be a higher density of piers)
Note: Bevel is a length/linear term. Chamfer applied to GFTX building corners.
@CernBasher
Cern/Larry - Ground breaking.
Foundation to steel erection is no longer a long timely process with the Elon Way of building construction.

Electrical Transformers and electrical switch gear are still the Herbie in this equation. 30-month leadtime depending on specs.
BTM SMRs & micro-reactors do not solve transformer bottleneck.
Behind-the-Meter energy solutions for industrial and data center power.
Tesla Megapacks to off load peak demand load in Industrial project and to smooth load fluctuations for data centers.
