Curt Renz, I really like the input you provide and think that quotes from Gary Black and others are important to know about. I feel like I can get all my Tesla info on this forum without having to dig through Twitter and a bunch of other places.

Years ago I worked body-in-white quality at a domestic automaker. Optical systems were common back then already. They used an optical system to measure the subframe as well as door apertures (door opening widths). From the door opening data, they would pierce the door attachment points so...
