A recent video from Tesla’s Gigafactory in Texas reveals a significant number of Cybertrucks ready for shipment, underscoring the company’s accelerated production efforts over the past few months.
In footage posted on Monday, Tesla Giga Texas observer and drone operator Joe Tegtmeyer showed some great shots of a fairly large volume of Cybertrucks in one of the company’s outbound lots. The site is what Tegtmeyer calls a “Cybertruck Apocalypse,” in addition to displaying the electric vehicles (EVs) in a uniquely large and symmetrical arrangement.
The video includes a full drone flyover of Giga Texas, showing footage of several ongoing construction projects at the site, including the Boring Company’s work on an underground tunnel at the site. Tegtmeyer also briefly discusses the inside look at Cortex, the site’s supercomputing cluster, of which Elon Musk posted footage earlier in the day on Monday.
The Giga Texas observer has been instrumental in covering the initial construction of the Cortex building’s cooling structures, ultimately uncovering its purpose and stoking Musk to share more details over the past few months.
You can see Tegtmeyer’s full update from Giga Texas below, as posted on Monday.
Tesla has been ramping up production of the Cybertruck throughout much of this year, and production of the company’s “Foundation Series” launch edition of the truck is expected to come to an end in the coming months.
During Tesla’s Annual Shareholder’s Meeting in June, Musk said Giga Texas had recently reached a production record of 1,300 Cybertrucks per week. Musk also said that Tesla hoped to reach a weekly production rate of 2,500 Cybertruck units by the end of the year, and the above suggests that Tesla could be on track to reach that.
More recently, Tesla noted during the Q2 earnings call that Cybertruck production “had more than tripled sequentially,” along with the truck being forecasted to reach profitability by the end of this year. Tesla predicted last November that it would take roughly 12 to 18 months for Giga Texas to reach volume Cybertruck production.
