Tracking Multi-red production and sequencing

[DLM270]

Woo-hoo and congrats! We're all waiting and will look forward to the pics!

Thanks atlg8or. And the good news is I will not have to go through a sleepless night tonight, in eager anticipation of a delivery tomorrow. Red will be in my garage.

DLM270-

You must be one of the very first cars out of the factory! You might even have Elon come by to congratulate you (he did that when I was there a couple of weeks ago). If so, have him sign the visor or something. The tour will be amazing, but you may be so excited to get the car that you'll remember nothing from the tour. There was a whiteboard along the way that lists the record # of builds in a day (the number was 109 when we were there). They will load you on a tram, the best seats are those at the front of each car, but all will give you a great view, and they will stop at a number of points to let you get out and see actions up close. You'll go by Elon's desk that is out in the middle of the production floor, surrounded by a number of engineering and manufacturing desks. His is obvious, only in that it has the Motor Trend COTY award on it. Otherwise it looks pretty much like all the other desks next to it. I was told this was actually his working desk and not something set up for PR purposes only.

Pay attention to the section with a large number of what looks like florescent tubes, as this is where the inspections after paint occur. The robots picking up the drivers seat and placing that inside the car from the passengers side without hitting any other items in the car looks impossible, but just makes it. Anyway, this will be better than going to Disneyland as a kid, and we are all enjoying it vicariously with you!

Like I said before "to him who has been given much, much shall be required". Let's see those pics!!

Wow, you had a much better tour than I did. We walked, no tram, and I never saw Elon's desk, paint inspection, etc.

If the server on this site is slowing down, it is because we are all hitting the REFRESH button every 15 seconds waiting on DLM's photos.

Lucky dog. I'm less than 10 vehicles after you and have an April 26 at Westchester. Those extra few days of transport, you know.

It was a whirlwind of a day for me. First an email from my DS with my VIN number. Then on My Tesla a few hours later the final MVPA for my signature and countersigning by Tesla shows up. Simultaneously another email from Tesla takes me to a link on My Tesla that enables me to transfer cash from my checking account for my portion of the due bill. 30 minutes later the countersigned MVPA arrives by email and on My Tesla. Immediately I forward it by email and fax to PenFed. An hour later PenFed emails to say the check is being processed and I'll have it in a few days. When I arrive home this evening a FedEx envelop arrives with approval and paperwork for sale of my Chevy Volt lease to a buyer through Swap-A-Lease.

So in one day, after a year of planning and waiting, it all came together in a flash. The only step remaining is a final delivery date.

Now for those pictures DLM270!

Congrats on being the first one on the thread to get their Red MS (and maybe the first globally?) It looks great! I'd love to see some rear-quarter pics

Thanks! I'm thinking the photos don't come close to giving the red full justice. Can you post some photos taken in brighter light or even full sun?

 

[Merrill]

Thanks for the pictures, looks great other than the interior and that I have the 60 the exterior will be identical to our car so it is great to finally see some real life red pics. Cannot wait, have about another month. How do you feel about the overall car in respect to fit and finish, etc.

 

[JohnQ]

Congrats, DLM ... looks great!

 

[anticitizen13.7]

Thanks for the pics:smile:

That red is very Tesla, and reminds me of the robots and other stuff in the Tesla Factory. I bet the color really pops out in the sun!

 

[ylyubarsky]

Please provide some pictures at a bright sun shine. Thanks
