Joking, yes? I don’t see aspects that have not changed (the majority of this car) to suddenly get worse on restart of the line. Aspects regarding the new lights, sure. Paint, fit, and alignment? Possibly no better but certainly not wiser.
They all seem to fit oddly there. I'm conscious of it because mine is the same way so I have been checking others.

There are issues that arise during ramps of any production line, whether the change is small or large, there's still an element of acceleration that can affect tolerances vs a steady continuous pace.
I’ve been in global manufacturing for over 3 decades (Six Sigma Blackbelt). Aspects of the S line that have not been changed will not suddenly develop new cpk values. This not a true ramp up so much as a restart with revisions to specific stations, work centers, or cells (yes, I hypothesized more than just the lights changed in Refresh 2.0). Would have a serious chat with the MEs and IEs if quality across the board was impacted after restart.

For sure, but I think there is also a rapidly shifting supply chain dynamic to account for in this time.
@Bull, You can’t like both of the above posts. They are fairly orthogonal in view. 
Tapping out. Goodnight.

Maybe I'm too tired. They both made sense to me. Goodnight all.@Bull, You can’t like both of the above posts. They are fairly orthogonal in view.

Nope, not true. Sometimes I actually hit the wrong button believe it or not. I do have fingers.@EndlessPlaid. Caught you.

Fingers yes, but no life outside of TMC? You must be on here 24/7. J/k.
Let me go to bed, man!
I think they are within spec too

You may be a bit younger than me. Now that I have tried it, there is obviously a noticeable difference with insane mode on, but I'll save that for showing off with friends instead of every day driving. Still a huge difference/upgrade from the acceleration from my '17 MS 75.I thought this was a spot on post and a well written post until this line. I have had my car for a little over 2 weeks and 1,200 miles. It should only be driven in insane mode.. it is docile until you give it the go. My car has been in insane mode from delivery and will be left there as long as I own it and drive it.
Hi everyone,
Went to take delivery of VIN NF474200 red plaid yesterday at Princeton, NJ. Car was perfect except for a smallish pebble rock chip on the hood - through the clearcoat (very noticeable in the sun). I did not accept and of course they will repaint the hood at a Tesla authorized shop next door. They told me it will be ready on Monday. I am worried about them matching the quality/look of factory red paint. I understand red is "special". It is a extra $2500!
What does everyone think? Thank you!

I am an @EndlessPlaid fan and you are batting near 1.000 in my book...
With that being said how do you figure the S and X lines have reached near full production? I am not up on the X production as much as the S production but all I know is the S production seems to be churning really slow. I believe new nonplaid orders are going to take 9 plus months to fill on average.
Can you deduce the production output and state whether or not that is near full capacity?
Would be nice if someone did a quick analysis on this and had a chart or graph of the supposed ramp up.
Do I sense some jealousy?Me thinks anyone of us mere mortals that have been on this thread for more than a month or so could have just as easily replied in the affirmative. It's just that one member literally lives on this thread and is the fastest draw in these here parts.
Nah. Not my style. At least not intentionally. Apologies to all if it came across that way. I’m just here to absorb and give back a little when I can.Do I sense some jealousy?
Maybe the little needs to be a little less. As. well as the time spent here.
I heard there is a sun out there in the real world. True?

Think you’ll be fine. The handful of times I’ve had cars partially repainted have all matched existing pretty well. Im just surprised at the turnaround time. Pretty fast. The good thing about the hood is there isn’t much else surrounding it.

Agreed, body work and paint is an art, not a science. As long as they engage a reputable shop, they should keep you in a good place. It’s actually easier to match new paint, much harder to match after the existing paint has been in the sun or aged from elements.
