Chapter XX — The Compleat Angler

Reinforcing the pond head with oak or elm that’s been properly scorched helps guard against rot, significantly extending its lifespan. Between these beams, smaller pieces of wood and…-

55. Giga Texas
Giga Texas became a key milestone in Tesla’s expansion strategy in early 2020 when Elon Musk and his executive team, including Omead Afshar, explored potential locations for the next Gigafactory. As Tesla’s Fremont plant neared full capacity, the need for a larger, more efficient manufacturing hub became increasingly evident.
