In the video introduction, we look at recent news about a major supplier to Giga Texas, specifically the stainless steel for the Cybertruck manufacturing. Steel Dynamics is nearly complete with their new $1.9B manufacturing plant in Sinton, Texas and they are the supplier of Stainless Steel chosen by Tesla for production of the Cybertruck.
This new facility is about 167 miles (about 270 Km) south of Austin. The General Manager of this new facility says it will be operational by the end of this month, or early February. Although not specifically Giga Texas, this is a major part of the Cybertruck production, and is yet another key indicator of the progress to production at Giga Texas.
video- $50,000-$60,000 for a 20 foot single axle trailer, whose highlighted selling points are "Full size spare tire", "Cast aluminum LED tail lights", "Stainless steel front stone guard", "Exterior shower". Such a deal, thanks but no thanks.
The wonders of marketing, and peer approval. - Scuttle-butt says the powered base camp will be north of $100,000.
That's almost double order of dual-motor Cybertruck.
At that price, I should be able to command it for us to see each other on the campsite -- or an autonomous mini Class A.:B:p - The Basecamp X is made for off pavement. Airstream has a myriad of trailer models and sizes.
- Need an aluminum trailer with angles and corners to match the CT style. Not sure I get why a "basecamp" is so small. May need off pavement modifications too.

Cybertruck with shorter 16ft Airstream Basecamp :
That would be a great fit for the Cybertruck or other EVs, small and aerodynamic enough to not reduce the vehicle's range to an unreasonable distance.
