I guess we will have to be content to watch the surrounding infrastructure being completed.
The fact that they have a concrete batch plant on site tells me that they will continue to build around that site.
There may even be an asphalt batch plant nearby to pave more roads.
My guess it that at some point there will be some housing developments popping up close by followed by the usual growth of businesses to serve people living there.

Canā€™t they just ghost in open doors behind employees? Thatā€™s how Iā€™ve always gotten in to closed buildings I wanted to check out.
Hmmm.... I'm thinking that a drone with the loud props might just be a little difficult to ghost into a building. Someday not too into the future though there will be drones the size of flies. They will be much easier to ghost into a building. Hmmm... I wonder how long it will be till we have current sized drones that act as aircraft carriers with multiple fly-sized spy drones to penetrate structures. The parent drone could fly to the building and deploy flies at various doors to hang on the wall and wait for a door to open. Then the parent can pull back and set down to wait too. when a door opens, the fly jumps inside and explores a bit. Before running out of battery, it waits back at the door for it to open again. Then at the next opportunity flies back to the parent drone. From there they all go home. A little Sci-Fi at the moment but probably not out of reach in the next 10 years.

We just need to gift employees hats, shirts, tiesā€¦ all with hidden cameras and transmitters. Censor mode in bathrooms, nobody wants to see that. Electric shock prods them into the CT production line area.

Cottage industry drone construction youtubes about to shut down once the exterior done and not much interesting visible outside after the ponds are done. At least until the rest of the structures start going up.

They still do drone flyovers at Fremont and Shanghai, they are just a bit less frequent. Checks of production volume, new releases, export volume, etc etc.

Drones pouncing on all deliveries and wild predictions made. We will be guessing at more green wrapped cybertruck bodies being delivered.

It is just a bucket on top of some drywall. No, it is Alpha bodies sent to set up production lines, you canā€™t fool me.

The more interesting stuff will be tracking what's going in and out of the building. New presses and equipment going in. Raw materials. And soon(ish) we should start to see vehicles rolling out. Sure sure, they'll just be Model Ys, but that will be fun.

And there's tons of development going on around the main building. Have they even started on the "eco-paradise"?

Personally, I hope for regular drone videos from Giga Texas until seeing a Cybertruck roll out for delivery is no longer exciting.

The closer we get to CT production, the more interesting it will be to see the footage. But I have to say, once I take delivery, I will lose the vast majority of that interest in favor of my interest in my personal vehicle.
