First Look Inside SpaceX's Starfactory w/ Elon Musk

That's where we make the boat and the propeller. So, that will open and you will start.Yes. Basically meandering around. - Yes. Look, we'll tear down that wall over there. That is, once we have the doors on the other side, we will knock down that wall and then you will have a factory. We'll just go as far as the eye can see. - It's much bigger than I thought from the road. I mean, it

look

s big from the road, but it's crazy. Yes, it's... ridiculous. And obviously the sections gradually get larger as you go south, right?

That's why things start out kind of short and then get taller as you go... Even. Yes. Even the roof line does that, right? - Yes. It will get bigger if the pieces get bigger. - That's absolutely crazy. Are they still using? I, I remember, you know, in the past many motors like Tesla were used. Oh, you actually said it that way. Well. So a lot of Tesla motors are used, you know, for fins and all that kind of stuff. And maybe even the grille fins literally had a Model S engine or something on them. Do you still use some Tesla parts like that? - Yes, we only use Tesla drive units to drive the grill fins. - And also the big flaps.

Boat. - Yes, I'm sorry. Two. Yes. Essentially. Sorry, I was thinking about something else. Yes, the, the, the - Hey, - The, yes. We use, we are trying not to use hydraulic systems. We're trying, it's all electric drive. Yes. So the motor is also played electrically. - Yes. So we're really moving away from hydraulics anywhere, possibly. Actually? - Yes. I almost believe that there is actually no hydraulic system in the vehicle. Me, if there is any very small piece of hydraulics, eh. But I don't think there is any. - That's crazy. In fact. I can't even think of another one. - Yes, there is pneumatics. - TRUE?

A lot for all the valves and everything obviously. Yes. That's crazy. - Wow. - It's surreal compared to what it was. Yes, a moment ago it was surreal. Wow. It just goes on and on. That is crazy. Yes. From a small tent. Yes. - This is starting to make Hawthorne

look

small. And Hawthorne is a... well, Hawthorne is actually quite a campus. Cool. Absolutely crazy. - That's Meme Street. - Meme Street? - Yeah. Is that, is that what you're saying now? - That's right, that's what it's called. - Alright. I think we got into a different car here. - But if you look at the street sign - We have Meme Street.

Yes. It's... Literally called Meme Street. It's, that's its official name. It used to be called Wemes. And we changed it from Wemes to Memes. - The important things. I love it. My God.
