Many thanks @augkuo! Really appreciate the pics and the info!

Has anyone noticed how long it takes to switch between aeros and 19"? A week? Two weeks?

It probably takes almost no time to switch. However, due to queued up orders and supply chain issues they may have runs of various lengths. It appears we are in a particularly long run of aeros at the the moment, but that may simply be due to the fact they were seriously backlogged before and they are getting caught up. Moving forward it would be nice to see a weekly switch between the two, but it's probably not easy to predict due to those factors.

Tesla suppliers start to see higher volumes from Model 3 production ramp up

@Esme Es Mejor - Curious, why do you disagree with me thanking @augkuo ?

Tesla needs a bigger parking lot AND more trucks. They better get moving on rail access to the plant. Any recent drone video's?

Thanks for sharing. I didnt see the post on Electrex when I checked earlier.

Because I have fat fingers on an iPhone. I meant to hit “Like” and didn’t realize I’d hit “Disagree” instead. Fixed it now!

@augkuo has done a great job with this thread, and I like that you thanked him/her.

Agreed, particularly about rail access at the factory, as that will help them reduce shipping costs.

7 carriers loading at 8am. They are cranking them out.

5/9/18 around 7:20 am - 7 car carriers loading, lot is getting fuller but there are ms and mx’s there as well.

We need another shift covering the lot.

Thanks again for the awesome pics. Really seems like the loading unloading process seems more relentless now than early April at the 2000 production rate.

I know you were probably joking (hence the wink), but that is either an S or X. You can tell from the white protective wrap on the front end. For whatever reason, Tesla is not doing that for shipping on the 3. Seems rather bizarre decision in my opinion as I've heard handful of people who reported paint chips that occurred during transport.

5/10/18 around 8:30am - 3 car carriers and now lot looks like filling up with s and x’s - so maybe a pause in M3 production

I see a few 19s but can't tell if those are other models or just one-offs. A bunch of people waiting for vin's for 19s. Isn't it a new thing to see 3's with covers ON a trailer?

Latest pictures on the truck seem contrary, because those are Aero wheels! Check out the new pics.

Those certainly look like 3s with covers.

In the last pics with the cars on the carriers, is it me or does it look like some of the 3's front and rear bumpers are being wrapped with the white plastic?

Its not just you. There are wrapped Model 3s on that truck!

That is good news. A guy who is close to the service center here said about 50% of the cars need paint work when they are getting delivered. That can't be good for the bottom line. My car is one of them.
