Was gonna say, I don't care if mine was made in a Mongolian yurt, it's still the best car I have ever and will ever own(ed).
Due to the historic over-shorting of Tesla stock, there is an intense need for bad news about the company and its products. Bashing the tent is one of the only avenues to create bad news as the product reviews, demand, and production performance have been really good. Follow the money on this one... Shorts are really exposed and will stop at nothing to create bad news to prop up the value of their short positions.
The real question should be why can Tesla build a better and more loved car in a tent than anyone else can in a proper factory?
What do these pins look like?
All Teslas are “final assembled” by humans using various kinds of mechanical assistance. There are many assembly line steps that, as of know, only humans can do.Up near my MCU there is a sticker that says GA4 RENA North America. Pretty sure GA4 is the tent. I think it's pretty awesome mine was final assembled by human hands...
Inside the rear fender well, tough to do when car is not on the lift and tire is on
My car was missing at least 1/2 doz, service put a couple in when they came out to rotate tires (last year) then I found other missing couple and replaced them myself with parts similar to link above

I have 3 empty wheel well holes in the rear corners of my car, and 2 in each of the fronts, and when I rotated my tires recently, I looked at them carefully, there doesn't seem to be any real need for them, as I tugged on the liner around the holes to see if there was any play, and there isn't. Would be less disconcerting if they were filled, but I'm not going to go out of my way to plug them.
@KenC You're probably right that the liner would not come off but I feel better knowing that they are secured in all the places Tesla originally thought important to do so.. and maybe as it ages, there will be less sag in the liner material?
Any info on correct type and size of plugs? Link for online buy even better.I still plugged them just to further reduce noise/rattle and dirt accumulation. Might have cost me $1 for the material and 30 seconds of labor, so it was worth that to me to plug them!

Was looking at my Mid Range Model 3 with white seats. Looks like I am missing serval pins too, couldn't find a sticker near the MCU. When looking in the wheel well at the suspension, you can see serval pieces of silver tape, not very professional looking. My car was manufactured in December, any guesses if my vehicle was assembled on GA4? View attachment 431227View attachment 431227
