Only directly related to your post, but I've thought a lot (more than I should have) about this idea of 'the' paint booth only having one color. I find it impossible to believe that there's only one paint booth - at 3,000 cars / week that's less than 3.5 minutes per car running 24/7. That's not enough time to spray the car and let it bake for at least few minutes to the point where it can roll out of the booth. Given that there's only, what, six or seven colors, I suspect there's probably that many paint booths with, probably, their own unique color "loaded". The point is that I don't think there are block runs of a given color because there must be a number of booths loaded with different colors. If you look at photographs of the Tesla factory line you see lines of cars with different colors right next to each other in sequence - they had to be painted in parallel and then reconvene on the line. I'm sure they do have a color distribution that attempts to be predictive but I suspect it can modified on-the-fly. (number 17,842 goes red, number 17,843 goes blue, etc.) . The bigger block-build problem seems to be the aero wheels. That must be a result of the factory in Mexico sending a number of shipping containers with all 18" or all 19"- their quantized unit is much larger. I submit that the smallest 'block' of colors for the cars is 1. Anybody have any info on this? Any thoughts?
