They were stringent on me and my 5.5 year old. Even though it was a weekend, and the factory wasn't running anything crazy, they put the kibosh on it.
@($*@$*($@!! I had a factory tour scheduled for this Monday (4/1) for several weeks. Just got a call from someone at Tesla that they are not doing any Factory Tours for the first week of April now. He said they are moving machinery around and it would be dangerous to be there so they won't be doing any tours that week. Already booked flights from VA to San Fran just for this tour, already booked nonrefundable hotel in SF, too. So now we're going to do a tour on Sunday (3/31) but it's a day the factory isn't running, so won't be nearly as cool. Really bummed about this...

Hmm hadn't thought of the extra hubbub that might happen on the last day of the quarter. And why they are moving around the machines, I don't know -- let the speculation begin!

Elon's "put my money where my mouth is" announcement will be that he personally purchased a bunch more robots to increase output to work through the backlog of reservations getting all pending deliveries done by July, including European orders? And once the backlog is empty, they'll start producing Model X? I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'.
Yes, you have to wonder about Elon's scheduled Tuesday announcement and whether this late cancellation of tours is related.
They're not running production next week, similar to when they took the first week off after Q4. That's probably why the tours are cancelled.
Why wouldn't they hae known that a few weeks ago when the tours were scheduled?

No, it was clearly stated to a poster: "Just got a call from someone at Tesla that they are not doing any Factory Tours for the first week of April now. He said they are moving machinery around and it would be dangerous to be there so they won't be doing any tours that week."
The tours are cancelled because they are moving machinery around, not because production will be halted or slowed. It would be a safety hazard to have non-employees touring around the factory while machinery is being moved about. Can we say 'potential for injury and lawsuit'?
Sure, that's the reason, but it doesn't mean the other isn't true. They are probably taking the opportunity to move the machinery around because the factory isn't running.
When has Tesla ever cancelled tours because there was no production? Indeed, we've seen several people say they've taken weekend tours and the factory has been very quiet. So why pull some other reason out of the hat when a Tesla employee specifically told a customer that the tours are cancelled because machinery is being moved around?
And who says there will be no production? DrDave? He knows this for a fact because he...works there on the production line?
1. We don't know what machinery, or how much machinery is being moved, but we do know that moving it causes a potential safety hazard therefore 'no tours'
2. We don't know that there will be *no* production, but we might 'assume' it will be slowed or sporatic at points in the line depending on what machinery is being moved.
3. You have no idea what 'they are probably doing', unless you work you there. Do you?
Geez, take a chill pill. And I even agreed with you. All I said is that it sounds reasonable that they might be taking a week off production next week.
