So good to see.

Thanks for this.

When you push a Tesla, it’s called “Mach-E Mode”

It's time to buy more TSLA shares!

Now that’s renewable energy!

 

[Cyberman]

So good to see. Although I can't help feeling those ought to be Cybertrucks sitting there.

Watching Joe Tegtmeyer's video or Maybe Jeff Roberts' video, I was wondering why they had to have guys push the car into place. Is it possible they are lacking drivetrain? Batteries? I know it's a structural pack but still... Why would they have to push one? And car covers... Why car covers? It's not like they'll ship with covers on like that. Those covers can't even handle the light breezes of the last couple of days much less a 70-mph blast down the highway. Maybe Texas Dealer network has worked some kind of legislation where you aren't even allowed to have your cars visible if you don't have a dealership... Kidding on that last one.

Perhaps they are short of some microchip or other component that the car needs to drive, and Tesla is parking them in an almost-finished state until they come in.

Looks like they drive the vehicles up close, then push them into place..

 

[TyPope]

Most likely, these cars are in varying states of completeness and are being prepped for shipment to a testing facility. Well, some of them, anyway. NHTSA will need to test the cats with front and rear castings and structural battery packs as all that affects crash stuff. I suppose.

I imagine that without the final permit to start production, they technically can't build & sell cars...yet

From what I understand, Texas can build cars, they just can’t sell them until the final EPA approvals are through. So they can stockpile cars, work on ramping up the production speed, and sell them once the EPA certification is finalized.

In Berlin apparently they will have to destroy cars built before their final permitting. It’s the environmentally friendly thing to do I guess?

 

[Crissa]

Well, that can't exactly be true, because they're sending the cars from Berlin to all of the countries they're going to import them at, for verification.

Many of the verification tests are destructive, though, so maybe it doesn't matter.

they can build but cant deliver to customers...only to test centers

Edit: sorry, I did not see Criss's text before I pushed send
