Tesla’s New Lithium Refinery Plant is located near Corpus Christi, Texas!

I was able to head down to the Corpus Christi Lithium Refinery Plant construction site, almost four months since the official groundbreaking event took place on 8 May 2023.
Wow, there has been a TON of work and changes since then, with a large area having been earth worked, footings, trenching, ponds, construction trailers and Tesla office trailers, sprung structures, and even vertical construction with concrete pours!

The flight began with some gulf-coast fog, but it was already clearing when I started the flight and eventually became sunny with great visibility. You'll note this transition in both the images above and the video itself.
Despite the fog, we get to see a lot of details around the site, with some very interesting large equipment assembly, active concrete pours, the iconic "Tesla Lithium" sign used during the groundbreaking and much more!
Since this is my first flight here as well, I took the opportunity to do a perimeter flight around most of the areas with construction and major changes since the groundbreaking and then closer views of the main refinery construction site itself.
