Thank you! Some of us on /r/teslamotors were talking about putting some cash together to get gigafactory progress picks via satellite imaging.


You might want to check with one of the random aerial photo outfits nearby too, you can get usually find a random guy with a plane and a DSLR for ~$1k, and I'm sure he'd give a big discount if you committed to monthly pics.

Alternatively, from a random Google search, I found these guys (http://interiair.com/faqs/) who take drone pics near Reno. I'd imagine you could get a pretty good deal, although it would take more managing than a satellite option.


Sorry - just checking my understanding. You want to buy satellite images of the tesla factory to work out how long it will take them to get to your number in the purchase list?

That is my favourite Ice Station Zebra moment to date!

No, satellite images of the gigafactory buildout out progress, because I'm/we're huge Tesla fans.


Ok. It's still amazing this is available to averge joes. Cheers


I believe the gigafactory refers to the giant new battery plant that Tesla is building.
