Well I was told I could take pics and it was the first time they allowed it. Must have moved the secret stuff upstairs.

If that's what they told you, then please consider my comments withdrawn. When I was there this morning I saw the sign on the door and didn't bother asking. Now I wish I had. Oh well...

Congrats! Wow, interesting change in policy on the photos. I picked up on Thursday and we were specifically asked not to take photos. I'm glad they've changed their minds, but I'm sorry they didn't do it three days sooner!

I honestly doubt there are any huge secrets in the build process for the body. The inverter, motor, and battery assembly areas may be a different story, but even so I still doubt any real information could be had unless you were up close photographing circuitry.

George B. wrote in another thread that the reason they don't want pictures isn't for secrecy, it's because someone will count the number of "items" and then post that Tesla is behind in production using the pictures as proof. I recall this happened with the original Telsa blog posts. Someone counted the number of door panels or some such and concluded Tesla couldn't produce very many cars--ever.

Perhaps now that they're producing at full capacity they don't care any more?

That's my thought. And/or maybe they just keep a close eye one someone they know is taking pix, to make sure they don't take pix that would be easy to take out of context. Many of those pix look like full lines with very busy people. :-D

I counted door panels and think Tesla is ahead/ at a perfect pace. :biggrin:
and there were many door panels for just 1 week of building

DCopperfield, I am in Bellevue and I have a VIN but no other news. What is your reservation number, vin and delivery window? Sorry if you prefer not to share the info. It's ok.

1836 is the VIN and reservation number is 962. Delivery Window was 12/11-12/25

 

[Nickjhowe]

Only issue is the right front door is really hard to slam closed, but the service center says there is nothing wrong with it.

others have reported slight door misalignment that was fixed post delivery. I'd push this with TM.

Nice one! Not yet. They were all for the 85kWh :wink:

The doors are good. I like the tight fit of the passenger door

Did I miss something?? What about Trudi?? You're not cheating, are you??

Trudi's true name of BadA** was discovered soon after they took delivery.

Sheesh, Lynn, keep up with the owner stories. Hehe.
