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

[Waiting4M3]

Thanks again for posting I like see what's going on at the factory. Notice the rear lots aren't so full but they were trying to deliver before month end.

Any one notice what seems to be a scrap pile at about 2.35 mark, a fork lift is dragging out a red car headed for a excavator/shear. wonder if there chopping up the rejects next to the old train tracks and loading them into the scrap dumpster. There is also a storage lot of car piled up that has been there for a long time. Again at 5:20 till 6:22 you see a tractor trailer with two or three wrecks on the back heading to the same pile the camera keeps panning around so it's hard to focus on them.

I need to go look at the older drone footage but the one Railroad stub track has either been total removed inside the gate or they might be getting ready to bring rail back into the plant to load at least a couple car loads at a time. They could get 5 or 6 cars in that area, but nothing like the plant had.

Speaking of scrap pile/lot. See pic in post above yours.

Lot is still full but only a couple of car carriers so we’ll see if this continues

updates! updates!
I need updates!

I might be going through some withdrawal symptoms. LOL

 

[MidnightRider]

Wow, that was quick!

I did not get a good look, but it looked like semis were loading around 9pm last night.

I see the Dodge car carrier has returned.

I think they need a bigger lot now if they keep this up.

Its the beginning of the month and there that many cars sitting there. The stockholders are going to be pissed. Tesla will now have thousands in transit on the next call.

Hopefully in Q2 call they will have all the cars above 200K in transit. This will help sales, b/c people who could cancel if they didn't have the tax credit will hopefully keep their order.

Factory output is > 500/day currently. We've seen this lot emptying and filling regularly. These cars are not (largely) from last quarter.

Also, Tesla will have thousands in transit on every earnings call. When you're building at a 200k+ vehicles/year run rate, that's the nature of the beast. The Q1-->Q2 number was over 6,000. It's only going to rise from here.

Yes I know, I was referring to the last earnings call, when Elon made it a point that there were 806? cars in transit.

Yes this will be the new norm, I hope. It's a good problem to have. Now there monthly numbers may level off and not look like a hacksaw blade.

There was a huge amount in transit this quarter, likely to be more next quarter. I wonder how many of this quarter was due to the Norway Truck issue.

3/22/18 around 7:30am - looks like more cars added to the lot and car carriers are taking them out. Saw a loaded carrier with M3’s leaving the factory as I was coming in

Eventually they will not need the lot! Try will drive themselves to their new homes!

That can cause a substantial depreciation... Would you like to get a new car with 3K miles on it? And few scratches here and there from other mororists on route?

Though eventually Tesla's cars will be delivered by Tesla semis. And eventually self driving semis.

And self unloading semis. And self-inspecting and self-detailing cars. Who will need people then?

Looks like they are close to running out of room for the semis to load.

I see that dump truck bringing in supplies to build a wall to prevent you from taking pictures.

I’d chip in for a ladder.
