1. Progress of #GigaBerlin construction

2. Waiting for next permission

The permission will include among other things tree clearing and machine integration. The reason for waiting is that the descission needs to be legally incontestable. Therefore a verbatim record needs to be analysed.

Its the protocoll decided at the public discussion at the 22nd of September in #Erkner. For the objectors this was a big thing. Maybe a small but loud part of the objectors hoped it would bring a delay. Actually a result log is more common.

3. Compensation of lost time

The permission was awaited at the first of October according to some sources. Means there is a time delay Tesla already adapted to. They will try to ramp up the processes and already applyed for the permission to expand the working hours.

4. The team spirit

Time and the will to do something big and unforgettable is what drives all involved ppl. Someone from the Tesla team said: "We do not calculate in weeks, not in days: with us everything is timed by hour." and Tesla does not think about to much about ...

5. The next steps

All are waiting for further permissions. Besides that more and more worker and machines arrive a the site.

We will see that PA, CA, GA, ST, BIW grow together to one big building. The roofs will be closed in the next 2 weeks as well a the walls. Further windows will be installed as well as venting and heating machines and the #GigaPress machines might arrive before Christmas.

What do you think about a monthly status quo briefing with rotating responsibility @tobilindh, @Gf4Tesla? We should implement a structure for better later comparision and should think about to set up a document. Reading in threads might be difficult 🤔
