Great video from IDRA regarding the shipping process.

It takes many shipments to move the roughly 100'x30x30 machine. Takes weeks to assemble / disassemble - guessing the old info is components shipment 1, of maybe 2 or 3? We don't know for sure. No press components in yesterdays flight, but... Here's true full proof it's now shipp/ing/ed?

I thought we talked about this two to three weeks ago of this thing arriving from France? Are we talking same thing now or are we talking from Houston to Giga Texas? Seems like click bate talking old news?

When I saw this news my first thought was that they either just sent the last piece and this is confirmation of that. Or, they took these photos awhile ago and their agreement with Tesla is to wait 30 days after shipping before making an announcement.

So it's possible that it could be partially or fully here in the states already.

Sigh. Certainly unknown. Again.
We are a series of guesses all glued together, trying to come to the inevitable conclusion that our Cybertruck is here. Can you imagine, when they tell us "You'll have your order in 24 hrs?!!??!!!???"

Is this the second one, going to need more than one.
