Document cars that I've had or still have and I've added in a documentary of the Tesla Giga-Texas factory site construction and hope to see this through to its completion if all goes well. My hope is that viewers will enjoy my videos, perhaps find them informative and entertaining.

Starship Flight 7 has been postponed to Thursday, 16 January with 1-hour launch window starting at 4:00 PM CST (2200 UTC).
Weather is much more favorable tomorrow, both in terms of visibility, clouds & no rain & upper level wind profile.
I’m still at Starbase to cover the launch so no Giga Texas videos for a few more days. I will be livestreaming the launch with Ellie in Space on her channel tomorrow, 16 January.

Join Ellie and me as we discuss some big implications to the NASA Artemis program following the Presidential election and growing rumors the entire program might be cancelled. What are the options? How does Elon Musk playing a big role in the next administration affect decisions on budgets, regulatory agencies, space programs & commercial space companies.

My schedule over the next 7 to 10 days will be somewhat chaotic & will affect my Giga Texas drone flights. Here’s what I am planning for now:
9 Oct: Fly to CA
10 Oct: Attend some pre-events & the Tesla We, Robot event at the Warner Brothers Studio
11-13 Oct: Visit with family in CA
14 Oct : Fly back to TX
16 Oct: Resume Giga Texas flights
If Starship Flight 5 is delayed from the 13th a few days, then:
15 Oct: Drive to Starbase, stopping at Teslas Corpus Christi Lithium plant
16-19 Oct Starbase (hopefully seeing Starship flight 5)
20 Oct: Resume Giga Texas flights
Obviously, I hope Starship flight 5 slips 3 days as the 16th would work the best.
Stay tuned!

I am getting a lot of questions about the correct flag placement when there are three equal height flagpoles.
Here is the correct etiquette & I believe Tesla has their flags at Giga Texas correctly displayed:
"Flag order: The order of precedence for displaying flags is: United States flag, state flag, city/county/locality flag, organizational flags, and POW/MIA flag.
Flag position: The American flag should be at the highest point or furthest left when viewed by a visitor."

11 September 2024 Update: I am currently stuck in a massive traffic jamb just south of Giga Texas and have not moved in about 30 minutes. There is no way to exit the highway and so I expect it’ll be a few hours before I can get home and then begin working on the video.
Apologize for the delay, especially for those who view my videos as soon as they come out! 😎
