Factory is shut for the week of July 27 for retooling for model X?

The video is so fast it's kind of annoying imho. But surprising is that it's been 24 hours and nobody's taken the 15-second 30-fps video and extracted the most meaningful frames and then fully annotated them (not to mention done a full scan for Model X)? Why, the web is slacking off this week

Does anyone know if Tesla has abandoned the SmartCarts? All of the old videos shows bodies moving on SCs and this video doesn't have any evidence they are still in use. Perhaps someone can take a tour of the factory and report back?

Factory is shutdown again today. According to @ken at the official Tesla Forum:
a crane either dropped something through the main power supply line to the Tesla Factory or the crane itself took out the powerline. Power was suppose to be restored this afternoon.

I heard a rumor that Elon had the crane operator do it on purpose so they have a plausible explanation for Model X delays.

Discuss.

That just pushes the first delivery date from Sept 30th to the 31st.

Rumor: delivery date slips again, stock price slides.

I see what you did there

Here's a news piece about the accident:

Here is a vehicle that has been even more delayed than the X. I read an article that the new Acura NSX is delayed again as well. They were supposed to produce it as a 2016 model but it is now delayed to 2017. Apparently they are producing test models now, as Tesla has been doing this summer.
