It’s the reflective wrapping on the handles and various panels. See this Y that hasn’t finished being prep for delivery:

Just to clarify - Elon said that they were missing controllers for seatbelts and airbags. He said it stopped production for 3 days iirc.
Elon's whole theme seemed to be two things:
1. Manufacturing Large things (like cars) at a high volume is extremely difficult with around 10,000 parts and processes.
2. Manufacturing speed (or even ability) is constrained by the slowest of those 10,000 parts and processes.

The seatbelt/air bag controllers issue was him showing that lacking one tiny part can prevent them from producing "we can't ship cars without seatbelts and air bags".

Just thought a bit about this... Building on the order of 200K cars per quarter. Missing a part that's common to all of their models and stopping production for 3 days translates to 2300-3000 cars per day (depending on production days per week), or somewhere between 7000 and 9000 cars.

NOW I see why my EDD went from Sept 15-30 to completely BLANK. :)
 
Truck full of Teslas headed north on I-5 toward Portland this morning!! I’m pretty jealous and wishing one of these was ours. I am hoping our MY isn’t on the front of the truck when we take delivery though 😂😂

Now that you say that, that was what he said. I couldn't remember exactly what he said. Thanks for the clarification.
