Tesla had the shutdown at end of May, and like last shutdown, they had to ramp back up to pre shutdown levels. Seems to me that last several images are equal or greater than before shutdown. For the 5k goal, would need to be better than if they hope to achieve it.
Ya but after the shutdown, Tesla will/should be outputting more than before shutdown. Would be surprised if Tesla isn't piling up car around regional storage lot for July.
Elon did mention in passing in the shareholders meeting that most stores would be getting Model 3s for test drives and demos soon. They are probably building those this month to keep from going over the 200K mark. I expect the invites to configure will start going out again later this month.
Ah, they updated for 2018.
On the one hand that makes it easier to tell what DU you are dealing with from only one digit. (Mostly, since P are just binned stanard units) On the other hand, the repeating of the vehicle type (for 3) in the drive unit type grates on my old database optimization standards.

Elon's leaked letter yesterday says they're at 3500/wk now and pushing for ~5000 in 2 weeks, posted in investor forum Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

We need pictures to see how many P3’s are now in the lot and do they get covered
Our Tyson location got a 3 to display buy I don’t know if it’s a P3. Don’t know how long ago took the P3 shot coming off the line.

Most likely not a P3, since Elon just tweeted about the 1st P3 coming off the assembly line today

If you can look at the VIN it should have a digit indicating AWD. And also it probably should have beefed up (likely red) brakes.
The progression of max vins in the vin chart, is only a minor factor. The density of the vins is a more significant factor. And since end of may, the density of the vins , degraded significantly, compared to before.
PS. Probably to do as much with delaying 200k US deliveries, which will cost tesla dearly, but that probably will get offset partially, with the firing of first contractors and now employees, as with trying to reach as close as possible the 5K/week for one week at the end of june (meaning from end of may, they didnt have one week of sustained production, but constantly trying to improve processes and remove bottlenecks).
If the EV credit trigger were based on production and not sales, then that would hurt.
However, delaying the 200kth sale will shift revenue from Q2 to Q3, and the only loss should be interest costs on the deferred profit (of less than one month). That may be recouped by extra options sold due to increased tax credits (esp EAP).
Found a Lot of Tesla looking cars at 500 E. Louise Lathrop, CA Tesla has been storing cars here off and on for awhile now.

That's the facility for states that Tesla can't sell directly such as Texas and Michigan

Well just read a great article on another thread about some idiot(s) causing sabotage and distributing data to unknown parties. Here is the link. Very frustrating. Elon Musk sends company email about 'extensive and damaging sabotage' by employee
Why would you think that it will cost them dearly? Sure there will be some people that cancel or that get less options, but with the number or people in line right now and with the new people getting in line Tesla can probably sell every car they can produce as fast as they can build them for the next several years at least. Anyone that decides not to buy because of the full tax credit will be quickly replaced by someone else.

The 200 or so vehicles for showrooms and test drives would take about 4-5 hours to build at today's build rate.
And cost $9.8 million to tesla. I get that it's quick to build but ~$10 Mill is 10 Mill
