On November 2, 2026, aerial videographer Joe Tegtmeyer reported that the main structure of Tesla’s Optimus site at Giga Texas near Austin was nearing 60% assembled. His update described roof-section work and the installation of perimeter beams and columns; the site was still under construction in the post.
The update’s clearest measure was the work itself: steel, roof layers and perimeter members were still being installed.
Construction work reported at Giga Texas
Tegtmeyer said more steel was going up on the main structure. He also described roof sections receiving concrete slurry, insulation and weatherproof membranes, along with continued work on perimeter beams and columns. The post did not specify how the near-60% assembly estimate was measured.
Targets attributed to the project
Tegtmeyer described a long-term design capacity of about 10 million Optimus Gen 4 robots per year and said volume production was targeted for summer 2027. Those figures are his reported targets; the construction update described work on the building, not robot production at the Texas site.
