Stainless steel rolls spotted during delivery to Giga Texas today (9/20/22) ?

[Throwcomputer]

Per Jeff Robert's video today:




Looks like a really interesting delivery not mentioned yet...

Is that what I think it is? Sample rolls of steel to possibly start testing a certain piece of equipment?!

But can you tell what material is is? Could just be the aluminum or steel they use for the MY?

If it were aluminum, they would've bee able to load a lot more than two rolls on that truck. Makes me think its SS.

Months have passed and Austin has produced 10000 vehicles.

Jeff, Joe, Brad would spend close to a combined full-time job filming every week.

it's the first time we have seen it.

Timing is not out of sync.

Can't say for sure, but it's tempting

Never seen steel rolls loaded onto flatbed chained at midsection rather than over the axels.

The question isn't if the metal is stainless. I zoomed in and saw no stains so obviously it's stainless. The real question is, did it see its shadow. If it saw its shadow, 6 more months of no CT news. If it didn't, we should see an early CT soon!

You caught me stirring the pot!

Knowing you’re half taking the piss: since Elon claimed the CT is angular because the steel is so “hard” (incorrect term) that it would break presses (incorrect consequence), I can’t imagine that a rolled-up steel sheet would be relevant to any “test”

It's possible there was a third roll over the rear exle that was already unloaded...?

Mind blowing news for sure! CT production is imminent, Elon has been sandbagging!!!1! /S

I see no difference to the sheet metal rolls appearance we purchase at my mechanical contracting company. I am not sure how anyone can tell from the photo that it is stainless.

Aluminum metal sheets are not used for MY, only Model S&X as far as I know. But it's much more likely that's the regular steel for MY

Apart from the stainless question, are those even large enough to make an exoskeleton w/o welding?
