We are accustomed to the fact that Tesla’s gigafactory projects are massive and are being built very quickly, but work at the Tesla Giga Austin in Texas could raise the bar even higher.
It appears that the company has contracted a large number of people and equipment to clear the site and prepare the site for construction. Things are changing fast on a large scale, though there are some serious swamps that need to be restored. It is probably not the best soil to build on, but after removing the subsoil and then building it up layer by layer, it should be good to build massive structures.
Here we have two new videos, first from Terafactory Texas (recorded on August 7) and the second from Jeff Roberts (recorded on August 6), both of which revealed tremendous progress compared to just several days ago.
The work must proceed at such a rapid pace as Tesla really wants to produce Semi and Cybertruck by the end of 2021.
