Found a LOT of Model 3's in a Tesla lot - Pictures inside

[augkuo]

Car carriers galore! 7 of them loading and more coming in/out

 

[Zorg]

The lot has filled up quite a bit in the last few weeks. They are definitely cranking them out.

Thank you for taking all these photos. I think i'm back in TSLA after the Q1 reports.

@augkuo - I hate clogging up a thread with another "Thanks" post, but seriously - you rock! I really love seeing your pics posted on this thread. Thanks a lot for all you do!

@augkuo do the security workers and any other Tesla employees out in the lot know you by name now? Appreciate the effort and pictures!

Haha - I got bugged by them once so I’ve been more careful to watch for them.

3/27/18 around 7:30am - cars have moved off the lot and lots of new ones took their place. Aisles of 3/S/X have been replaced with new cars. They are keeping the first 10 aisles clear of cars for the carriers.

That poor dually pickup... Must be the local run.

Uh oh, we're having the same problem as in Norway, can't find enough good trucks

In low-light, everything is either midnight silver, white, or signature red.

Even if it's just taking them to the delivery center on the other side of the freeway that seems like quite a load.

Do you recognize the grill? I tried to look it up, but failed.

 

[Wnuk]

If I had to guess it may be a Dodge Ram Big Horn edition based on the horns on the grill

If you’re talking about the pickup it’s a Ram 3500 dually with a Cummins turbodiesel engine. They can tow something like 25,000 lbs.

There were 6 semi loading cars at 8:15 this morning. Definitely moving cars for quarter end.

 

[augkuo]

Yes looks like several aisles of cars have been cleared out. Let’s see if the aisles get refilled in the morning.

The red 3's in these photo's looks like the signature color red. Doesn't look like the standard red.

I think Tesla needs more trucks.

3/28/18 around 7:15am - trucks are now loading from aisles 1-21. You can see from today’s photos that cars got replaced (easy to tell near the white tent).

 

[GoneCrazy]

Glad to see our dualy friend is back and ready to load up again!

Hopefully those trucks are 24x7. I read the loading is complex relative to normal shipping

thanks again for the pics. Does seem certainly over 1000 a week and likely much more. Does anyone have an estimate of how many cars that lit holds? Do they have to fill and empty every day for 5000 cars? Seems like we’re averaging about 7 trucks at a time now, up from 4 two weeks ago.
If I was only following this thread, I’d think the stock would be doing great. Hopefully this thread is the real story.

IIRC each truck fits ~9-10 cars. So 7 trucks would be at least 60 cars, say 1/2 of it is M3, then 30 M3 in 7 trucks. If you have a batch of 7 trucks every hour, 10 hours a day, that's >2k/wk M3.
