Fremont Factory Delivery

While my son’s baseball team was warming up for their game early this morning, I drove by the Tesla Factory in Fremont and saw, what looks like to me, their new factory delivery facility. There are a couple photos below. You can see eight Model S vehicles under protective car covers.

The area is extremely secure and is directly under the huge Tesla logo on the South side of the factory, which is perfect for photos.

There are awnings in place that could, in time, have solar panels on the roof and, perhaps, even a Supercharger.

If this is the new factory delivery facility then let’s see who is the first to receive their new Model S in this location.

Or maybe they're staged for TMC forum members and journalists to drive by and grab spy shots, thereby distracting us from the real storage facility...</tinfoil hat>

The finished vehicle staging area is located behind the second fence. You can see the factory layout below (North is to the left).

The scale of this factory is amazing.

To think that Tesla purchased the factory for some $42 million is difficult to comprehend. And, some financial analysts talk about Tesla's high share price to book value. Now that parts of this factory have been reconditioned and is working again, it has significant tangible value that many financial analysts (John P?) fail to understand.

Importantly, the non-union employees (who all have stock options) are highly motivated to produce world class cars that rival every other car available (of course, that is an intangible).
