IMO taking pictures of the details of other peoples vehicles in public is a little strange yeah. Specifically looking for panel gaps and issues on Teslas and taking pictures of them to me shows that you've got a chip on your shoulder about Tesla.

I don't care for Teslas, I've driven them and they're cool but not the sort of car I like, but I don't focus on them and pay them a lot of attention...

Agreed! That said, Tesla is NOT going to have a problem selling any of these. Lol.

The best lately is that junked MB wagon that’s rusted but still running arohbd.
Do any drivers of all of these cars you're taking pictures of ever ask what the hell you are doing?

No, and I don’t care if they do.

i guess we'll have a better sense of it when youtubers start getting them.

I've not seen any reports of deliveries. My order is confirmed, but I've no details yet on delivery date. I have been sent a request to complete some registration info, but no details yet on where in line my order might be and when it might be built (albeit it must be in the first 1000 or so)

I imagine I'll be seeing a few of these soon near my office.

I can't wait to see one in person. Based on the pics and videos I've seen it's not my cup of tea, but neither were the Model 3 or R1S

I just cant wait until it destroys anything its size offroad, simply for all the articles trying to paint it bad, not because it is bad, but because of Musk and his comments about something else.

It will be fun to watch.

Just like ethusiasts do give respect to both plaid and m3 performance.

Tesla lets its engineers (or maybe Musk) do crazy stuff. Forget anything else, this has mechanical lockers on both front and rear. It will turn out to be built to kill it offoroad.

love these factory videos. Always amaze me how all the robots and the whole process works. I have seen pictures where panels seems to be bolted on (including side panels for the bed). If that's the case, owners could do their own repairs for minor damage to body panels...no paint needed which is nice. The finish on the stainless steel looks great!

I am assuming they are using stainless steel rods for welding.

I love these Munro Live videos, especially their breakdown and analysis of different manufacturers
