Starship SN15's nosecone was lifted onto its tank section. SN15 is an upgraded version of the previous Starship prototypes that implements some major changes according to Elon.

 A few more angles on the newest Starship, the either short Starship or long nose in it's custom stand and a selection of homemade gse tanks.

Rings sections for BN3's aft are spotted at the production site. Meanwhile, the crane is still attached to Starship SN15 in the High Bay as crews move its aft flaps.
