Giga Texas Optimus factory construction update with 2 short video clips, one 360 at medium-altitude & a closer, lower flight showing tight views of the main steel structure! Ground work started in late March, with 1st steel on May 27. By 1 October, the frame was nearly at the north grade beam, large sections of upper floors were poured, & roofing insulation is arriving. The E side & the entire S half of the foundation have footings & grade beams, but no steel yet. The basic steel structure is ~ 40% assembled so far. This is the dedicated high-volume 7+ million sq ft (~ 650,000 sq m) Gen 4 Optimus plant. @Tesla has not given a standalone cost, but 2026 company capex was guided at ~ $20–25 billion for AI, robotics, & factory expansion; outside estimates put the broader N Campus at ~ $5–10 billion. This is in addition to the Fremont California Optimus plant (which is the Gen 3 pilot line) is sized at ~ 1 million units a year, expected to begin production in late 2026. The Giga Texas plant is 10X larger & has a planned capacity of ~10 million robots a year at full scale (a long-term ceiling, not the startup rate). The current target for limited initial production is late 2027. What is still ahead for construction over the next 6 to 8 months? Electrical conduit, water & sewage pipes, fire-water loop, storm water management drainage & underground pipes, exterior walls, roofing, ground slab & upper floor concrete & mechanical rough-in then equipment deliveries & installation. As you can see, lots of progress already, but there is a lot left to do before production line setup can happen.

No one made a mistake with immigration. The people who brought this to your country did so with malice, knowing full well what they would do. They are counting on it.
