Video #10 blew my mind on how much they’ve done filling in the water holes.
Been a crazy day! I forgot to post the link. Let me do that real quick! Thanks for the reminder ?!

Anyone know what the big gravel area is? I'm guessing it will be the new construction office and parking area. Right now they appear to be parking on the clay. I can't imagine that will work in rainy weather.

The light colored area is really low and was where they put the most of the barrier plastic.

I can't imagine it being used for building building directly, with the nearness of the river, but the relative heights are hard to make out.

Randy, I was just thinking.

At some point one of the local TV/ Radio stations and Austin American-Statesman will probably catch wind of your video chronicling of Tesla Terafactory Austin and want to do a story and interview.

I'm also wondering how much buzz there is in Austin about Tesla and the new factory.
I would think that it would be Talk Of The Town even as big as Austin is with all the big tech there.

I did see an article where San Antonio is wanting to get in on the action, even vying for the Tesla HQ.

The sentiment is extremely positive around town from what I can tell. There have been more Tesla stories in the local media that there have in the last 3 years combined. Most of it is stuff that enthusiasts like us already know, with the exception of any new details surrounding the actual deal and Tesla already hiring for the area.

New video posted this morning! Drills have arrived at the site! Foundation work is imminent!

Keep the info coming! Thanks for being there. I hope you make a penny or two in the process.

Thanks Ty! Support has been great and I is definitely growing as I'm learning more each week. I will admit it's been crazy since I was actually interviewing and started a new job and pretty demanding job this week. I'm figuring out the balance between the two so hopefully I have an efficient process in place within a month. It's crazy no doubt!

Ya, doesn‘t this section of Texas have a 500-year flood history?

That's why it was a great place for gravel mining, which is why all the trenches were dug.

Bur they'll probably figure something out.
