Tesla Semi advocate Zangler offers an exciting construction update from Tesla’s newest project, highlighting unexpected developments and showcasing the strategic choices driving rapid progress.
This footage captures the site’s northwest and southeast sections, with surprising adjustments such as early paving, a move speculated to prevent delays during rain or snow.
As viewers approach the flag-adorned northwest corner, notable progress in insulation, waterproofing, and wall panel installations on Section SA becomes clear. Intriguing layout details emerge as we move across sections, including an unusual “X” mark pattern expected to correlate with building vents per renderings.
Zangler delves into another significant change with the relocation of the “panel table” to optimize assembly processes. Originally positioned along the site’s middle southern perimeter, it has been moved to the southeast corner in a diagonal setup to streamline future installations.

This strategic repositioning reflects a calculated attempt to complete Section SE while minimizing panel table relocations.
Key structures, including octagonal footings for columns and additional beams, indicate ongoing work on stormwater and freshwater piping, accompanied by blue piping visible in the video.
The video also reveals trusses nearby, possibly for future roofing panels, indicating Tesla’s intricate approach to supply and equipment management.
