On April 6, I rendezvoused with AeroStealth and wife in Austin, Texas. They were coming in from a visit to Space-X at Boca Chica, Texas.
On the morning of the 7th, we drove out to the Tesla, Texas Gigafactory construction site.
It was quite the beehive of activity. The initial building going up, we were told, is structurally complete. All employees present signed the last piece of structural steel. The roof is on. No walls. About a dozen cranes are loading in materials through the open envelope. From our vantage point there were three levels visible.
It's the largest building I've ever seen. ' looks like four World Trade Center Towers could lie next to one another inside it. The drone footage online just doesn't convey the scale of it.
Anyway, the trip constitutes my latest significant contribution to global warming.
