How to tell if my Model 3 was made in the tent

[ishareit]

Just purely out of curiosity, I am wondering if there is a way to find out whether my Model 3 was made in the tent or not. Anyone here knows? Thanks.

Look for empty beer cans on the floor

Check if it smells like campfires and s'mores?

Seriously though I don't think there's any way for anyone outside of Tesla to figure out which assembly line their particular Model 3 came from. Even if you could find out, why would it matter?

I hear its a nice tent.

Due to the historic over-shorting of Tesla stock, there is an intense need for bad news about the company and its products. Bashing the tent is one of the only avenues to create bad news as the product reviews, demand, and production performance have been really good. Follow the money on this one... Shorts are really exposed and will stop at nothing to create bad news to prop up the value of their short positions.

I was waiting for this thread.

Can't say I've ever in my life bought a car and quietly said to myself..."hmm, I wonder if this was made in a tent"

...I have relative that worked on car assembly line for long time in UK. He has plenty of stories, including "the Friday fuel tank"....

Up near my MCU there is a sticker that says GA4 RENA North America. Pretty sure GA4 is the tent. I think it's pretty awesome mine was final assembled by human hands...

The performance models were made in the tent. Proud owner here

I heard a special edition was going to be built in a barn.

if it leaves the garage door wide ass open, then you know.

@dtowntez - Do you have to remove anything to see this sticker near the MCU? Glove box?

I PPF'd my car in a tent. Okay, it's one of those temporary carports, but if the additional Tesla manufacturing line is considered a tent, then my carport is a tent, too.

I'd love to be able to "rough it" in the tent.

It's a fabric covered building, not a tent.

If you find duct tape then your car was built in a tent. so I read.

I understand you are asking out of curiosity, which is an admirable characteristic. That said, it really makes no difference whether a Model 3 was built in the Sprung Modular Building Structure* (the correct name, it’s really not anything like a “tent”) located on the Fremont plant property or whether it was built in the main building.

And I’m pretty sure you won’t be able to find an answer to your question.

Love all the (somewhat expected) comments to my curious question.

Also, no need to convince me that it does not matter whether it was made in a "tent" - I agree with you!

I couldn't find this sticker. Where exactly is this located?
