Cortex 2 at Giga Texas continues to make progress simultaneously with partial operation. Permits show Data Hall 5 is now in the process of being completed inside while crews are working hard to prepare for a doubling of the installed Megapacks (from ~130 currently to ~250 when completed). The... part 2 of the chiller system assembly continues, with most of the superstructure in lace and the 6 fan openings on the roof taking shape. Utilities, plumbing, storm water management systems & more are nearly completed in and around the facility. This facility will be important to train the Optimus Robots & in the distance just north of the facility, the new 10M/yr Optimus factory is starting to take shape.show more

Another flyover of a major construction project at Giga Texas, this one Cortex 2.0 where AI training for the Optimus Robot (and possibly some FSD training) is taking lace. The plant is still partially operational with about half of the Megapacks & cooling systems installed while the second half is well under way to be completed later this summer/early fall. Once completed, I expect there to be about 260 Megapacks dedicated just for Cortex 2 operation, while there is already another 72 Megapacks in operation for Cortex 1, located on the south end of the main factory,. Cortex 2 is located just south of the new Optimus 10M/yr run rate factory which itself is under construction, so this is a convenient location for both her at Giga Texas!

Giga Texas Cortex 2 continues to see more Megapacks arrive today & be installed, while a new paving project is underway today for roads & large apron sections around the W, S & E sides of the datacenter. The chiller plant construction & assembly continues at a quick pace, while new permits for temporary chiller units match up with on-site trailered units on the SE side!

Giga Texas News! A brand-new, stand-alone factory is starting construction! This follows the Shareholders meeting & info that a 10-million-per-year Tesla Optimus production facility "on the Giga Texas campus" will be built & enter into production in 2027! Here are some details! Land clearing on the E side, River Road expansion & several construction projects are already underway! In addition, the Giga Texas Riverfront Ecological Park project is proceeding along the same time frame & when completed, will allow public access to new sports parks, trails, water access & nature areas. We will see all of this throughout 2026 as Tesla prepares for the start of production in 2027!

This is a high altitude view of the entire North Campus construction site at Giga Texas where the new 10M/yr Optimus factory is being constructed! The approach is similar to what we saw with the main factory building when it began construction. Grade preparation & old sand & gravel mine reclamation work, while GeoPiers put in piers to support footings & then steel erection beginning int eh center part of the structure, then proceeding to the N & then S as the structure assembly progresses. Tesla construction uses an agile & Minimum Essential Capability (MEC) approach which means we are likely to see portions of the factory be completed more quickly than other portions to allow the start of equipment installation & initial testing before the rest of the structure is completed. I also think we are seeing this in two main parts … the first where the structure is rising now & the second, further south where ground reclamation work is still needed before grade preparation can begin. Again, this is very reminiscent of how the main factory was constructed in 2020 through 2022.

Another major construction project at Tesla Giga Texas today is the new test track on the far SW of the property! A large “oval” like outer track with what looks like a smaller oval track is definitely taking shape, and of course there will be support structures and more added as this project continues to make progress. Overall, the amount of construction around the Giga Texas project is approaching the original effort to make the main factory almost 6 years ago! It’s hard to keep track of it all, but I’m trying! Such an amazing story that has been, & continues to happen here just east of Austin!

29 May 2026 Giga Texas Snapshots! AS I get ready to head off to Europe for a few weeks to attend the Tesla Club Austria Takeover Europe event, Here is an extended snapshots video clip showing a site absolutely brimming with activity. Today is also a rare production day to make up for the holiday on Monday. Cybercabs all over the place today, exiting the factory, driving in the outbound lot for transport pickup, many with their hatches open prepping for final inspections and more! The refreshed Tesla Semi with extended cab removed at the Crash Testing facility today too! Construction in 4 major sites is really moving along today too, including more steel erection at the N Optimus factory site, and the extension ground reclamation work continues to progress. The E Advanced Tech Chip fab shows more earth preparation and Cortex 2 part 2 of the cooling system getting 4 of these 6 fan units installed while more Megapacks have arrived and are being installed. The SW Test Track is also getting work done on it, with some new excavation work and pipe installation along with new concrete curbs. So mush more to see today and I hope you enjoy this slightly loner snapshots look at the factory today. See you in a few weeks!

The North Campus at Giga Texas (aka Optimus 10M/yr factory) work on the main foundation continues, with gravel & crushed concrete being laid down in a massive excavation on the south end, while GeoPier, footing construction & rebar cage assembly work makes progress on the middle to the north end of the site. The foundation work shows at least two types of footing construction underway, one of which appears as isolated footings (or pad footings) with a column starter cage which is a standard reinforced concrete foundation element used under individual columns in buildings. I’m not sure why there are serial kinds of footings being used here, but it is similar to what was used for the south extension to the main factory, along with a few other areas in the main building.

The Giga Texas Optimus Factory has made a lot of progress with ground work, GeoPiers & now the steel superstructure which has grown to 4 Floors, at least in the sender section! This is similar to the main factory construction and I suspect we will see varying levels throughout the structure as it continues to build out. This means that with the extension work to the south to reclaim even more land to further lengthen the structure, it will have a meaningful % of the 11 Million Sq Ft of the main factory, so this is truly becoming a massive factory! A large steel staging yard in nearby in the “lone tree” field & several large cranes are at work actively adding more steel as they build out from the center, again, very similar to how the main factory was constructed. Check it out!

Fantastic short video clip with a unique view of a Cybercab at the Giga Texas crash testing facility today showing what it looks like under the front hood We can also see what the open door looks like from above too. In total about 12 Cybercabs were at the crash testing facility this morning with several showing some signs of completed on in progress tests. There were also 8 Cybercabs at the outbound lot today, & these appear to be more of the engineering testing versions with blue tape where exterior mirrors could be attached while they are being used for tests around the country.

FLASH: Six additional train sets will be in Lagos very soon to strengthen the capacity of the Lagos Rail Mass Transit (LRMT) Blue and Red Lines to deliver value to commuters and thereby increase the economic viability of the state. The six trains sets, which have scaled the factory acceptance test hurdle, are scheduled for shipment to Lagos from China. The addition of the train sets to the Blue Line rolling stock will increase the number of train trips along the corridor and will be deployed for passenger operation to Okokomaiko when phase two of the Blue Line is completed. It is projected that the construction of phase two from Mile 2 to Okokomaiko, about 14 kilometres in length, will be completed within the first quarter of 2027 and passenger operations extended to Okokomaiko shortly after. #LagosBlueLine #GreaterLagosRising Babajide Sanwo-Olu

While everyone is thinking about Cybercabs, FSD, the new Advanced Technology Fab and more, don’t forget Tesla Optimus needs a place for his body to be built, and that new 10M/year factory is seeing a lot of foundation work today on the N end of Giga Texas! More Sentez | Geopier work creating piers in the ground to support the future structure, defined earthwork in the middle section and more grade work on the N & S sides of the construction site! This is going to be fun to watch come together!

Cybercab entering into the Giga Texas production line exit this morning & we see many more castings have been made … all 3 that are used for the basic structure of the body that is part of the “unboxed” process”. We are just over 50 day s from when initial production is expected to begin. With testing of the Cybercab in multiple states and cities, crash testing & evaluation work already completed, all these castings, & production line run through tests, we are getting very close to seeing many more of these around the factory!

13 May 2026 Giga Texas Snapshots! Progress at all 4 major construction sites today, including the E Advanced Chip Fab site with more relocation of workshops, materials and vehicles, soil sample drill rigs at work & more. The N Optimus factory foundation continues to make progress too, especially with the site drying up. GeoPiers, Rebar cages, pedestal footings & three levels of grade evident today. Cortex 2 prep for more Megapacks today, with transformer installation nearing completion & part 2 of the cooling system coming together. The new test track is getting more asphalt laid down in several different locations & some infield grade work too. There are vehicles on some of the paved driving surfaces to give a better sense of scale and width of the road surfaces! Cybertruck production still seems fairly slow, but I’m hoping to see this pick up. For the 1st time I’ve observed, over 70 Cybercabs were in the outbound lot today in three main groups & some driving around. Lots more to see today & I hope you enjoy this snapshots video clip!

Everything Elon shared about Optimus in today’s all-hands: ⦿ How does AI × Robotics fit into the sustainable energy future – Sustainable Abundance for All. A future of abundance for all, where anyone can have anything while preserving the beautiful parts of nature. The key to that is AI and robotics – self-driving cars and Optimus. ⦿ The new Optimus, featuring a 22-degree-of-freedom hand and forearm, is now in production. ⦿ Tesla is the only company with all the ingredients for making intelligent humanoid robots at scale. Our robot has a real brain, and we possess expertise in design and manufacturing. ⦿ My prediction is that Optimus will be the biggest product of all time by far. Nothing will even come close – I think it will be ten times bigger than the next biggest product ever made. ⦿ We are aiming to produce 5,000 Optimus robots this year and 50,000 next year. Around the second half of next year, Optimus should be ready for use outside Tesla-controlled environments. After that, we will offer Optimus first to Tesla employees. ⦿ Will the robot take your job? There will be a ratio of people to robots, so you'll effectively end up managing a group of robots. ⦿ Optimus robots are currently being built in Fremont. We also expect to have a bigger Optimus production line in Austin. ⦿ Ultimately, we'll have tens of millions - maybe even 100 million Optimus robots a year.
