Hmm… smoking hot Cybertruck rear ends inbound in 3 months

There's big cooling and smelting gear that needs to be added for the gigacasting machine.

Tesla's own presentation had the layout flipped lol, BUT I think we're all clear that "Future Production" area is for Cybertruck.

But will the 9kt gigapress end up in the "Casting" area, or the new "Cybertruck Production" area? Does the current Casting area even have enough room for that 9kt beast??

Plus, the CT castings would need to be hauled from the Casting area to the opposite corner of the factory, which is like 3 miles lol

Of course the original was upside down. It was designed by an Australian you insensitive clod.

The bigger issue with that map is the fact that it’s 2 dimensional. Most of the cell/ battery stuff is done on the 3rd & 4th floors and take up almost no space on the ground floor. Batteries are build up high then dropped into general assembly from above.

I seriously doubt the actual layout looks much like this at all. Maybe it represents % of space used by specific things.

But...this is Tesla's diagram, and corroborates what we saw during construction. You think Tesla is trying to trick us? lol

It is likely as accurate as you can get while rendering a 3d multi-floor building in 2 dimensions and attempting to preserve trade secrets.

Yeah, I wouldn't use it to measure for carpets

I would assume they would have it all done near by for logistics since they do have the room. Only time will tell.

Logistics already has the ingots, smelter, chimneys, fire suppression, bridge cranes all over in the NE corner.

According to Joe Tegtmeyer, the delivery was a DMG MORI milling machine that is used to finish the castings after they come off the press.
