New flyover today, looks like the tent is fully up (with AC units attached) and the wrapped cars are back where they normally are...

I wonder if this is a Pre DI tent.

I hope they're not building cars in those tents. I've already owned one of those.

Why do they need 8 industrial A/C units for two small tents
Perhaps to keep machinery building cars cool?

Tesla is making a big car-building tent in Fremont permanent, report says
What started as an approach to building the Model 3 will now be extended to the Model Y.

Hoping that those wrapped cars are for those of us who were contacted this week to say that our production was complete. Again, not holding my breath.

That would be a proper assumption. Not to mention a trailer truck being there picking up 6-8 cars.

I am guessing that you have never been to AZ in the summer. This year is cool for this time of year, only 108 tomorrow. Some years have hit 122 in June. Those tents will need all of the cooling that they can get.Why do they need 8 industrial A/C units for two small tents

Did they have to build a tent! We all know what the haters are going to run with. I can hear it now….. “Peter said you won’t see us building cars in tents”
Well, it makes sense to store them there.
Monsoon season begins mid-June and ends September 30th, bringing with it some beautiful, but often unpredictable potentially dangerous weather conditions. From heavy rain causing slick roads and low visibility to large dust storms causing near blackout conditions on the highways – monsoon driving can be extremely dangerous.

More likely protection against hail damage. Every year at least 1 AZ dealership loses all of its vehicles due to hail dimpling. Would be a disaster for Lucid.
OBTW, after 2 weeks here in France sampling wines, don’t really give a crap when I get my VIN.
Hell yea!

Lucid calls it the “rear bow-tie.” That’s what’s missing on those cars. When my rear windshield was getting replaced, they had to replace that part as well, and said it was a hard to come by part. I’d imagine they are waiting on those parts to add to those cars.
This
is incredibly important to recognize and remember. I was born and raised in Kiev and my wife is from Lviv, (that’s Ukraine, I’m case anyone is planning to look it up 
) and when my vin becomes available is an amazing problem to be able to distract myself with. We’re all incredibly lucky to be here and be discussing the merits of ownership of a brand new car from a nascent car company where we get to trade certainty for the excitement of the unknown.
My concern exactly. Even if this forum represents only 1% of confirmed orders we should be hearing of a new VIN almost every day to reach 12,000 cars produced in 2022. I am anxiously awaiting the 2Q earnings call that should happen the first week of August, They will have to state at that time how many customer cars have been delivered and the forecast for production for the remainder of the year.
I am anxiously awaiting my VIN assignment. :-/
