I've been reading (ie lurking on) TMC for years but have never posted. This is by far my favorite and most informative thread. I want to break my silence just to say Thank You to @augkuo

Augkuo, you are at the plant very often so I’m going to ask your take on production. Do you beleive they are over 3,000. Have you noticed a big increase in model 3’s being hauled out of that lot? Thanks for the pics.
According to this article you are correct. They will be shut down the rest of this week.
Tesla plans six-day stoppage at factory for assembly line fixes:...
I guess this means all cars configured in Canada have been shipped...after the shutdown should see 4/18 U.S. configs June deliveries and then stockpiling the lots for 7/1.
Have anyone heard a confirmation if 3rd shift is already in effect or will be added in June?
Edit: looks like Tesla finally delivered the new automated line for battery production from Germany:
Tesla reportedly flies in 6 planes' worth of robots in latest Model 3 push
Not sure if it's really needed, since they improved the efficiency of existing lines during the April shutdown by 96% Tesla streamlined Model 3 battery pack production time by 96%, says Elon Musk

EM said they can reach 5k/wk without the Grohmann lines. These planes are flying in Zone 4 equipment - Grohmann equipment installed in Zones 1/2 a while ago.
I wouldn't be so sure that all Canada-bound cars have already been shipped, but its possible. I don't think they've all arrived though.
Zone 4 is Grohmann. Just saw this 6 Planes Fly In New Line To Up Tesla Model 3 Production To 6,000 / Week

Will the lot be empty???
Will there just be the Dodge pickup car hauler left???
Does the security guard get to take a vacation???
Will they finish the landscaping???
Stay tuned for Augkuo's next round of pictures.
this should be interesting. If there are one or two 3's left behind would you buy one?

Unless Elon starts tweeting about Model 3 production resuming, this thread could be the first indication that new Model 3s are now being produced after the shutdown.
5-31 is the last shutdown day, so maybe Friday 6-1 is the first day we see new cars coming out. Maybe they finished the work a day early, and cars start appearing sooner, like tomorrow?

I'd say Canada, but to be sure in the future we need to ask @augkuo to equip carriers with GPS trackers...

Not this week they're not. I take it you aren't aware of the shutdown from 5/26 - 5/31?
