Child of God -- seeking His will!

TERAFAB: Grimes County, TX - September 5th, 2026 Happy Labor Day! Here is my first flyover of the joint Tesla and SpaceX TERAFAB project in Grimes County, Texas. It was a gorgeous day for a flyover. The scattered showers made for a beautiful backdrop. I took this trip a learning expedition to find spots to fly from and how to get as close as possible. I was able to get some amazing footage. The video is in 4 parts. PART I: EARTHWORKS The first maps show the current land acquisitions by WIT TECH LLC, a Musk-linked / SpaceX-adjacent buyer. Compared to the TERAFAB scale I give you an idea of where the current clearing is taking place on the southeastern side of Gibbons Creek Reservoir. There is also a clearing further east with a substantial lake that will eventually need to be drained. PART II: 348.59 ACRE MILLENNIUM POWER PARCEL This is the tract on the west side of the reservoir, directly south of and next to the Grimes County Substation. SpaceX has said it will use natural-gas generators and Megapacks, so it is not clear what this area will be used for. There was a No Drone Video sign, so I only took photos. PART III: SUBSTATION & INTAKE Far to the west on the Navasota River, WIT TECH LLC acquired two parcels. One is a 3.83-acre plot with an 11,000 gal/min pump station. The second is a 1-acre plot on and over the river that includes an intake and low dam. SpaceX says this will be used to divert stormwater into the reservoir. PART IV: 433.79 ACRE ENERGY PARCEL This site sits northwest of the reservoir, between the old, removed coal plant and the 210 MW Grimes County Solar Farm. Tesla and SpaceX have not said what the site will be used for. As always, there is an X Subscriber photo-thread. So please subscribe take a look and support the flyovers. Referral links are at the end of the thread. Thanks everyone!

"Fake news" are blasting their narrative that AI will result in major job losses! Here's Elon Musk's take according to GROK! Prompt: "What is Elon saying about his number of employees due to AI and Robots over the next 5 years? Response: "Elon Musk says Tesla will increase its headcount (employees) over the next years as AI and Optimus robots boost productivity. He has stated: “We aren’t planning any layoffs or reductions in personnel, in fact we will increase our headcount. The output per person at Tesla is going to get nutty.” Robots will allow far higher output per human, but total employees grow." GET REAL!

WOW -- While charging my Model Y in OKC, a CYBERCAB pulled up to a charger. Neat – got to talk to the two test drivers...sort of… They were very hush-hush and only answered questions like, “Hi, how are ya” and “What do you think about the weather?” The CYBERCAB had a Texas license plate, and was a Tesla Engineering Prototype with a steering wheel.

Slightly more "baby boomers" identify as Republican than Democrat. Fake news distorts reality by focusing most of their coverage on those identifying as Democrats. As a boomer, I have lots of conservative friends.

RARE-EARTH MAGNET ISSUE: Over half of Tesla vehicles were produced in China in 2024 so no problem there. Tesla developed a RARE-EARTH-FREE electric motor which will likely be used in CyberCabs and possibly in the affordable Model 3 and Y vehicles. Optimus must use rare-earth-magnets due to high torque/small envelope applications.

MAGNESIUM - POTENTIAL EDGE FOR OPTIMUS Tesla's Material Scientists continue to develop various alloys to vastly improve Tesla products. Tesla is currently in collaboration with several companies exploring the development and use of magnesium alloys in robot design and production. A big advantage is weight reduction (Mg - 30% lighter than aluminum), enhanced agility, and energy efficiency.

Unfortunately, many middle income seniors will not qualify for the so called "Social Security tax break" due to income limits. The Senior Deduction (One Big Beautiful Bill Act, 2025) for those 65+ provides a $6,000 deduction ($12,000 for joint filers). It applies to those with modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) up to $75,000 (single) or $150,000 (joint). The deduction phases out at a 6% rate above these limits and is eliminated at $175,000 (single) or $250,000 (joint).

Pres Trump keeps stating, "No tax on Social Security for seniors". MISINFORMATION: My social security is still being fully taxed! The taxation has not changed in spite of the BBB! A senior tax deduction on income will help some seniors but it disappears for most middle income seniors! Someone needs to stand up and correct this incredible misrepresentation!

GROK needs the capability to format reports as docx. It is a complex mess going from a MARKDOWN file to a DOCX file for MS Word

Tesla vehicles can save thousands of lives every year! Just today, I viewed two National Safety Council TV ads regarding the danger of leaving young children in hot cars. On average, 37 to 40 children die annually in the United States from heatstroke after being left in hot cars, based on data from 1998 to 2024. Tesla cars detect a child left in the car and take steps to keep the interior cool until the child is retrieved. Tesla vehicles are programmed with a directive to protect humans. Another National Safety Council TV ad demonstrated the danger of a driver being distracted by using his smart phone. In 2023, NHTSA reported 3,275 deaths in distraction-affected crashes. A Tesla with supervised FSD sets off an alarm and warns drivers to keep their eyes on the road when it detects a driver using his phone. For other distractions, the Tesla starts out with a mild warning which then becomes more intense if a driver does not return attention to the road ahead. I encourage Tesla to place ads highlighting built-in critical safety features unique to Tesla vehicles. Thousands of lives can be saved every year!

ELON, WHAT A GENIUS! Is anyone else out there getting this? Elon just made chess moves that make all other AI factory builder wannabes look like 1st graders. Yes, around December of 2023, Elon acquired use of the Electrolux facility in Memphis and began modifications to support development of Colossus 1. In insanely record time, Elon had Colossus 1 operational 9 months later, by September 2024. The Colosus 1 supercomputer was installed and operational in 19 days! As Jenson Wang of Nvidia declared, the whole development should have taken over 4 years. Colossus 1 is now running with about 230,000 GPUs. Primarily H-100s but about 30,000 GB200s. In mid-February, XAI broke ground 12 miles away in the Whitehaven area of Memphis to begin construction of a 1 million sq ft facility for Colossus 2 in which will have over 550,000 (up to 1 million) GPUs, primarily GB200s and GB300s. Colossus 2 is slated to begin initial operation in just a few weeks! So, what about the 2 GW of electric power needed to feed 1 million GPUs making up these power-hungry XAI Supercomputers and facilities? Well Elon just happened to find an inactive natural gas power plant located a little over a mile south of Colossus 2 across the state line in Southaven, Mississippi. The deactivated power plant is in bad shape and would take a lot of time and money to refurbish the plant. So, to speed things up, Elon found and purchased natural gas power plant equipment (including gas turbines) from an undisclosed location overseas. Think about it, this power plant site is already permitted/zoned for a power plant and already hooked up to the local grid. For everyone else, right now, it can take 5 to 7 years to design, permit, and build a natural gas power plant -- primarily due to equipment shortages. The lead time for gas turbines alone is up to 48 months. Let’s watch and see how long Elon and XAI take to get the power plant operational. Don’t you just love to watch a verifiable genius at work? (How is Stargate coming along?)

TESLA - VETERAN ISSUE ===== ELON MUSK NEED TO BE MADE AWARE Even GROK is surprised of Tesla’s impropriety in this matter! So much for Tesla showing respect and honor to military veterans! I mentioned my military service to a couple of sales/delivery persons along the way, yet no one informed of the availability of the $1000 MILITARY DISCOUNT. My driver’s license clearly displays ““AIR FORCE – VETERAN”. I provided the physical driver’s license and several photos of my driver’s license to both sales and financial personnel. Why was this clear declaration of VETERAN status ignored? I found out about the $1000 MILITARY DISCOUNT after I took delivery of my 2026 Tesla Y last week on May 16. I’ve spoken to both Tesla Customer Service and Tesla sales staff regarding the “hidden military discount”. Catch 22 – Both Tesla Customer Service and Tesla sales staff arrogantly declare that the military veteran must ask about the military discount in order for Tesla to actually reveal its existence. “Afterwards is too late and SORRY but there is nothing we can (or will) do about the miscue – no retroactive remedy”. The same words were used by all the different Tesla staff. Reminds me of the way “fake news” frequently parrot the same phrases as if they are all told what to say by Tesla management. This is blatant deception and shirking of accountability! Why is the existence of the $1000 MILITARY DISCOUNT so hush hush? The Better Business Bureau frowns on such deception whether it is intentional or not! Now I’ve been an avid fan of Tesla and a stockholder, but this really rubs the wrong way! For a highly innovative company this major DODGE and lack of accountability and creativity to resolve this issue borders on fraud and abuse. Tesla Customer Service arrogantly divulged this has been an issue with several other military veterans but Tesla always refuses to “retroactively” address this miscue/deception.
