I'm never going to stop wishing the blue wasn't so damned *dark*, so I could buy it

Bring her across the pond to South Africa and you will have your share of onlookers, come on Elon, time to supply your local country men with the Tesla gift.Recall the days in early-2013 when my original S60 used to get mobbed by onlookers like that. No more such love for the S.
And the next Video from FDC. New highest VIN: 2556 !
120 Tesla Model 3 at Fremont Delivery Center - recorded 34 VIN(s) - #2556 #2354 #2156 #2097 and more • r/teslamotors

Looking at this numbers it seems like they don't correspond with what has been recorded before. In other words cars may have been delivered and new production cars parked. No hard fact but an indication...

Now I understand why they are still delivering the occasional low VIN number.
That lot is a mess of Model 3's in no particular order.
HOW do you find the car you are looking for!

That is a lot of cash tied up in inventory. I thought Tesla was against the dealer lot model.
... Maybe the new CBS soundtrack folks got to it. For reference compare CSI to NCSI LA, Macgyver or H50. I don't know... what has gotten into the water?
Passed my the factory on my morning commute as normal
There are another over a hundred Model 3s parked at the south end of the factory visible from the Mission Blvd onramp to 880

That was nice, but what will be much better is if we could get video of them covered in 1) dust and 2) road salt and mud
That would really help as I doubt my car will ever look as clean as those, except the first day after a car wash. Certainly not until next summer.
The odd part of when the cars are being delivered, we will all be using the heat this winter and not experience the full range until we have had the car for 5 months.

And that is an interesting question, how they are going to be able to scale up more efficiently having their own distribution vs delivering bulk to dealers that sell it off independently. This is a challenge both in terms of parking lots size but also transportation. Of course tesla wouldnt be tesla if they wouldnt try to reinvent it without holding to preconceived solutions in search of an overall better model.

There is always they Nevada desert at the Gigafactory - batteries going to Fremont via Tesla semis and built cars going back to Nevada for distribution so trucks don't have to deadhead. I know, stupid idea.

They are supposed to drive themselves to the lot south of the factory where they'll be loaded onto the truck carriers. With the cars piling up on the lot, I don't think they've managed to sort out the logistics of getting the trucks there in a spread out fashion. That will be a big traffic jam on 880 when a bunch of loaded trucks leave the factory!
