Cavalry, charge!!

That second row is almost all white. Batched production by color?!

Its thread #334 in case you could not find it, @Model 3

You meant post #334 in that linked thread I presume? As that was the post @melindav linked to.

Seems like separate sections of parking lot for different colors - one for interesting people, the other for less so types. = said it

Well, well, so 26+ in LA, 30 in Fremont. I've never seen that much M3's together. Seems like the bottlenecks have been solved, or at least partially.

Cavalry, charge!!

I would still use some restraint, I did read somewhere (I can't find it now) that most of the cars, at least at the parking garage location, had repair tags on them. So, while it is a good sign that they are complete enough to actually be driven somewhere, there may still be some other bottleneck (other than battery packs) that is preventing them from being completed.

The repair tags are really hard to read but here is what I could make out with some unreadable info. The pictures were on Electrek.

1. ____ ___ - Wrong paint fade around the sec??? SCal bottom front corner
- Paint chip around the latch motor
2. BLW - BLW out of Spec - Open hole ___ the front edge covered corner port of the door
- Paint - Paint blister between ?? ?? quarter panel and fascia
- Missing Port - Adhesive

Other Car
1. Cosmetic - Scratch - Door outer RR-LH
2. ______ Test - Brake burnish test not done
3. Failed Test - 1Pan2 - 380 STC421.01

Oh no the oil pan is leaking!

So the repair issues seem minor/small potatoes issues based on @Trips' info... I'm going to consider this a very positive thing.

No bottleneck, it's called quality control.

No bottleneck, it's called quality control.

Since it appears the repair tags are all for different reasons you are probably right. At least they didn't all say "Missing main battery"

Lol damn, friend was there today to order Model S

 

[T-Will]

At the Rocklin Service Center this afternoon, saw VINs 691 (the manager’s m3 from what I heard) and 972 (being delivered to a SolarCity employee as I was chatting with a sales associate). They look better and better every time I see one. Stunning cars.

Why are the 3's being delivered without any wrap on them? Cost cutting?

Alien dreadnaught paint, it’s that good....

 

[AlanSqB]

For deliveries here in CO, they use custom covers for the S and X on open transport trucks. I'm guessing they still just don't have the custom covers made for the 3 yet. Maybe the same for that protective plastic. Strange as it sounds, it's probably a low priority right now compared to getting the cars going. Strange that they're not using those covers to go to Austin, or maybe they just already removed them to take the cars off the truck.

Plus it’s all by itself in the most visible location on the truck. Maybe they are advertising it a bit to try to make up for the delays?
