RE: Tesla Semi truck unveil & test ride set for Oct 26th !
Gigafactory Texas on 22 June 2022! This is where the Cyber Truck and Model Y will be built!
Stunning sunrise reveals a noticeably increased production rate of Model Y’s at Giga Texas, now estimated at about 50 per day or so. Car Carriers are picking up and transporting a similar number every day as well, and the rate appears to be picking up as well! Other major changes today include concrete work on the west side of General Assembly, North electrical substation grading work, & battery cathode steel assembly and footing progress.
In this video introduction, we discuss recent news concerning shipments of Lithium (specifically Spodumene Concentrate 6 or SC6) from one of Tesla's many (and new) suppliers of raw materials. The planned shipment is at the end of this year and since Giga Texas is the only place Tesla currently has which can accept this material and then produce Lithium Hydroxide, we now have a firmer timeline that the construction effort will need to achieve.
Also, in my 12 March 2021 video, I covered in depth what Spodumene Concentrate 6 (SC6) is, how it is mined and refined, and how Tesla plans on using this to make Lithium Hydroxide, so if you'd like a more in-depth discussion, I'd refer you back to my 12 March 2021 video.
I then provide a hypothetical rendering of how the finished Battery Cathode plant may appear.

The Tesla Semi is still being tested on the grounds of Frito Lay’s factory in Modesto, California, and employees at the facility say they have been told company use is “coming soon.”

RE: Tesla Semi truck unveil & test ride set for Oct 26th !
A Reddit user u/IeZaeL visited IDRA Group’s Open House event and took some good pictures of the 9000t (OL 9000 CS) Giga Casting machine.
The most interesting picture is the machine layout diagram of the 9000-ton Giga Casting machine that he posted online (below). The technical diagram specifically mentions that the total weight of this machine is 688,200 Kg (1517221.29 lbs) — and this includes 27,300 Kg (60186 lbs) of water-glycol. No surprise that this is the largest Giga Casting machine ever built.

Now, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has confirmed that the machine is going to be used for the Cybertruck body.
This is not surprising considering that Tesla already disclosed that the Cybertruck is going to be built using a stainless-steel exoskeleton body that was going to require a new level of casting capability.

RE: Tesla Semi truck unveil & test ride set for Oct 26th !
As of today, EV semi tractor-trailers like the Tesla semi is ideal for regional day trips ONLY! Mainly delivery routes within 250 miles(since the range is only 500 miles) that freight companies like Fed-ex and UPS make. The technology, range, and infrastructure is not there for anything else even regional over night trips. And yes, you are wishing or dreaming if you think otherwise. Reality doesn't support that dream just yet. Maybe in 5-10 years(or more), but no right now.I expect cross country in a Semi will be a contest very soon once released to private owners.
Should prove interesting.
I can see a 21st century Smokey and the Bandit remake.
East bound and down, loaded up and chargin. We gonna do what Elon says can’t be done…
We gotta long way to and 10 more ?!’!, ing chArging stops. Just watch ole bandit charge!
It won’t be a car chase it’ll be whether snowman can charge his rig before Buford T Justice does! He’ll walk out of the diner over to the supercharger with TP stuck to his glasses!

Tesla is asking for a $US20,000 ($A29,020) reservation fee. Interested parties are asked to deposit $US5,000 immediately and then arrange a wire for the remainder within 10 days, plus another $US20,000 for each vehicle required.
Tesla claims that as half the costs of running a diesel semi-trailer are fuel, the payback time for the Semi is two years.
Of course, the Semi is only available in the US for now.

RE: Tesla Semi truck unveil & test ride set for Oct 26th !
Tesla’s long-awaited electric truck has finally been priced for the US, ahead of a claimed production start in 2023.
The Tesla Semi, an electric heavy truck first revealed in concept form in 2017, will be priced from US$150,000 (A$217,879) with a claimed range of 483km.
A longer-range model with 805km of range will be priced from US$180,000 (A$261,526).
Tesla’s US website now allows customers to place a reservation, though this will cost US$20,000 (A$29,058) – or the price of a base Toyota Corolla there.
Tesla Semi prices released, orders open in the US

The Tesla Semi is going to kill diesel semi truck sales in the future if diesel prices stay high IMHO.
