Tesla Motors: Please post a new video of the Tesla Factory

[tdelta1000]

Hello Tesla Motors,

Could you (TM) post a new video of the Beta or Release versions of the Model S going the through the build process at the Tesla Factory. I think it would be nice for the current reservation holders, potential buyers and the general auto industry to see that the Model S is no longer being hand built and that they are coming off of the very beautiful and technologically advanced Tesla factory floor.

Model S VIN 43 and 44 that were recently shown during the Santana Row event are excellent examples of the craftsmanship coming out of the factory and it would be nice for all to see the actual process of building an "S".

thanks,

If Tesla wants to be really different, why not install a webcam or two....?

It's one thing to show a controlled video of the factory, but there's probably a certain amount of not wanting to show the sausage actually being made.

I'm kinda' hoping that Tesla might give reservation holders somewhat of a glimpse into the live assembly line at some point. It'd be perfect if each of us res holders can see our own car coming off the line (via streaming video online!) atleast at the very end of the assembly process (with no trade secrets being caught on video)! Now, that'd be groundbreaking!

Groundbreaking yes but I think that would be over kill. A simple video highlighting the building of a Beta or Release version of a Model S. Anything else would be gravy.

I recall someone asking an official Tesla person if we could watch our cars coming off the line and the answer was a firm "no."

This was discussed during one of the interviews last weekend. It is not possible because the cars are made in batches depending on color packages etc. so your specific car is not necessarily coming off the line after the previous reservation number. So it becomes logistically impossible to satisfy everyone whom would like to see this. Also it is not groundbreaking since Volkswagen has been doing just that for the Pheaton and also their Bugatti brands but there the volume is much lower and the cars much more handmade and therefore not batched to the same extent as a large scale production car

my two cents on the subject

I think the question may have been based on the idea of having people on the factory floor while the building is going on... and of course TM would say no. Now an authorized TM video would be quick, easy and it would satisfy the masses.
