As Tesla’s Gigafactory Texas comes closer to reaching full completion, the company will prepare to build its Model Y and 3 units to start, as well as its highly-anticipated Cybertruck down the road.

A new drone flyover from the Terafactory Texas channel taken on Monday shows that the production facility is nearing completion, specifically including a new drainage system with a few parts of it simply needing to be filled.

The completion of the drainage system includes both East and South Detention Ponds reaching completion, each of which simply needs to be filled with hydro-mulch and a few extra joints buried, as well as a few other finishing touches.

Along with the near completion of the detention ponds and drainage system, we can also see the addition of concrete in a number of areas across the facility.

In addition, the area with Tesla’s GigaPress now features fully-finished concrete, with a few newly-poured sections in the walls and the loading bay, as well as a nearby parking structure that’s now holding a number of pickup trucks.

Tesla’s Gigafactory Texas officially broke 8 million square feet in August, with the building spanning nearly a mile along upon substantial completion, according to Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
