Still seems like crumbs. The whole loaf would be one of the giant press plates!

When there were fuzzy pictures of major GP components in the distance and under plastic, I was like “That’s most likely the Gigapress” but there was room for a tiny bit of doubt.

This picture leaves zero doubt you can clearly see the red components which were quite obvious in the images of the assembled press previously. There is no uncertainty left. Most likely the press plates are one of those plastic wrapped packages behind, but the red armatures are extremely conspicuous. Particularly stacked next to boxes with IDRA which are the perfect shape for holding the huge piston shafts.

Extrusion is usually more like this.

Wow... I have my own Extrusion Machine at home... damn.

What do you think of that huge robot? For removing a huge die cast rear-end?

Just watched Joe's 12/21 video. I have to say I'm absolutely blown away by the scale of Giga Texas and the sheer volume of parts they are storing all over the place. Sure looks like they are preparing for massive ramping. Not to mention four foundations for additional giga presses. This factory is incredible.

Did you see that IDRA posted an updated breakdown of the 9K ton gigapress and that it is 85’ long? I am not convinced that there is 85’ between those columns so maybe they intend to orient the press the other way and cover 2 of those foundations somehow.

The casting floor area is 300 feet across.

IIRC, it's about 40' pillar to pillar.

This is exactly what I've expected. Those things are huge. The two foundations are one press.

Inreaaaally really hate to be that guy, but guys I’m about 60% sure I saw the Cybertruck pass me opposite way on the freeway tonight

IF my dash am caught it(was driving Tacoma) I’ll be checking the memory card tomorrow and will report back. I’m trying so hard to not post this but I’m so stoked

no ears on the front light disc like the Lightning. No Pixar eyes like the Rivian…….. the rearlight wa as pure line. I’m 60%.
