Yes those without wraps are probably going up to Richmond (about 40 miles north)

Thanks! I thought 3rd shift would have a higher impact than 3rd line, which will likely take a while to ramp up...

You should submit your VIN to Bloomberg tracker when you get a chance: We Set Out to Crack Tesla's Biggest Mystery: How Many Model 3s It's Making.

Would be cool, but very impractical if the baggies were the same color as the cars they're wrapping. Now, it looks like all they're producing are White Model 3's. But I'm all for protecting the car.

Here they come east, I was just heading back to the office and had FOUR tractor trailers of mostly M3's heading to Tysons. S's and X's on them also. still 50-50 on wrapped 3's. I bet they fill Tysons with cars start prepping and start the deliveries on Monday the second. Sorry no pictures all open trucks.
Augkou's shots shows a much higher content of baggies. are those S's and X's bagged also? the covers look different with the window slots.

Maybe the truck left Fremont last week and bagging practice was still ramping up, and has now been completely standardized in pics taken this week?

It took about a month for our 3 to make it across country via train and truck. So I would assume all this production could be coming east and Tesla can say yes we produced all these cars and they are legitimately in transit. It's just so odd that I saw a convoy of 4 truck loads of Tesla's. Also that there conventantly arriving a day or two late to be delivered. You know they need 4-5 days to prep the cars before they can deliver them.
Maybe I saw a top secret Tesla semi's retrofitted into conventional trucks running in Platoon.Inside EV sales won't report record setting for the month of June but hopefully not below last years to continue the long upward sales trends. But look out July, there will be a record set.
I saw the grainy satellite image of the new production line tent. I couldn't help to notice they left the rail spur alone. Maybe they are still keeping the on site option open. Wish we had new drone footage to see what is going on. Didn't the tent cut out half the car storage on that side of the plant? Augkuo's pictures clearly show they have the trucks constantly coming and going.
The rail spur was removed when they put in the north automated storage tower.
FFWD to 4:20

Yes correct, but the wye serving the plant is still intact, which is the big ticket item. The rail inside the plant could still be there just buried. Or might be the rail pile just beyond the road that crosses the tracks. I remember this footage but wonder what it looks like now. Also a shot taken a while back showed some fresh ballast on the old siding. could not tell if they simply removed the track or if they were rehabbing the track.

Stuff happens... saw a car carrier full of Tesla’s this morning (not all 3’s) on north bound highway 101 broken down on the side of the road... Tesla being at the mercy of others to transport our precious cargo... some things are just out of everyone’s control.

Sure sure, "broke down."

Yes i saw that, the why is still intack, the dirt piles covering the loading rails is gone, but still cant see the rail. I can see the crossing has it covers but a diamond saw would fix that in a day.
All i can think is Richmond must be giving them a hell of a deal to use there yard as opposed to rehabing and reopening there's RR's car movement fees and Demure charges can get pretty nasty. But still shipping this many 3's they should look into it again.
Althought the plan keeps expanding it would become a casualty.
For what it's worth, I saw two carriers heading up Interstate 80 through the mountains (towards Reno) on Saturday morning (6/23) about 9:30am. Didn't seem like any of the cars had covers on them. Top rack was a white Model 3 at the back, lower rack might have been an S.
The one picture I got with my glass-mounted smartphone ("Hey Google, take a picture!") came out perfectly focused on the inside of the windshield. The carrier, not so much...

Can the intern's put the baggie's on the cars or the protective film on the cars? It's starting to look like there building so many cars they cant even bother putting the protection on. Or there the end of quarter cars and as we all know, there for the local's and don't need it.
Thanks again Augkuo for the shots. Seeing any interns driving P3"s?
Are you taking train by plan anymore. Any signs of them reworking the rails feeding the plant?
