Inside Tesla

[NigelM]

Odd that Tesla headlines the front page with "Domo Arigato, Mr Roboto"....I know about the Styx and the catchphrase and all, but the robots are all "Kuka" which is a German company.....

As you wish

It's working for me from the Inside Tesla blog page.

I have to say, the Inside Tesla stuff has been everything I could have hoped for so far.

Looks like June 22 wil be for the CUSTOMERS .....

"Welcome back to “Inside Tesla,” our series of Tuesday updates giving you behind-the-scenes access to Model S production as we gear up for our first customer deliveries on June 22nd. I promised a few surprises along the way, and this will be one of those weeks!"

"Inside Tesla" seems to have been hijacked by design discussions......

Also, looks like Tesla isn't the only one with a clean factory:

Nigel is right. Guys, can we get back on topic here? There are plenty of threads where we're discussing the various combinations of finishes for the Model S.

Update:

Posts about what Model S Elon is driving went here: Elon's Model S.

Posts about different design choices went here: Model S design combinations.​

Today is another Inside Tesla day. With the new charger section on the website with info about SolarCity, I wouldn't be surprised if they announced something new today about SolarCity and the Supercharger network. Hope so!

I believe in last's weeks Inside Tesla they said this week they would show the paint process.

IIRC, the "shareholder meeting" video had 4 sections

Stamping
Body Center
Paint Shop
Final Assembly

So, yes we should see the Paint Shop today.

U.S. Signature cars will have 1 year free wireless connectivity included!

Also every available interior option and decor will be available to see in the 10 cars at the first two stops on the test drive tour.

Super excited to see all 10 colors - I assume they mean full cars in each of the colors. It's just not the same looking at those little samples in the stores.

In the video the red kinda looks more Muir then Signature ... but it could just be the sig base coat. I would love to see the Muir red.

For those going to one of the first two test drive events, please take lots of quality interior/exterior pictures of the different cars for those of us who may only get to see 1 or two combinations!
