I have watched the "How it's Made - Dream Car" Tesla episode about 30 times. I will have my Model S85 before Christmas. So excited.

awesome video. Of all the Tesla documentaries that I have watched, this was the first to show the motors being built. However, there was very little about the battery. I have downloaded it to show several friends. This just gets me more pumped to have one in my garage!

Very interesting, even if it's outdated. They captured parts of the manufacturing process that I haven't seen before.

Since I apparently have too much time on my hands right now, I found myself trying to identify the two VINs that I could see...

The first, during the dashboard installation at 14:45:
VIN 38809 (since the last digit of the VIN was cut off, I had to figure it out using the check digit)
85kWh
Pearl white
Piano black
Tan leather
Plain roof
Tech
Standard audio
19" wheels
Left-hand drive
Deliver to Netherlands

Second, as MartinAustin mentioned, during the dyno test at 18:20:
VIN 37123
P85+
Grey
Matte obeche wood
Tan leather
Pano roof
Tech
Right-hand drive
21" grey turbine wheels
Red brake calipers
(Most of this assumes the VIN shown is the same vehicle shown on the dyno. VIN only tells 85kWh and RHD)

Interesting video and explanation; but the background music is awful.
