Seems fair to say they are not really doing "color batching" since one assumes they were painted in the order they end up in this queue. Colors switch every 3 or 4 vehicles.

Now the initial burst of Launch Green painted trucks was probably done in a more batch-like fashion.

Are the trucks in front of the yellow one Limestone? Looks like they are ramping up that color :)

It's like the yellow marker card used to cut a deck of cards.

Everything after it is R1S!

Big employee photo around a couple R1Ss. One has to think this could be the first true production R1S.

We have no idea what sequence they are painted in vs what sequence the shells are put on that multi level racking.

They could be painting in batches and assembling in a different sequence, for example.

I chose yellow because not only is it obviously the best color ? but maybe they ARE doing them in batches and, since I assume there are fewer yellow orders, my reservation will be moved up by many many months. ??

Actually, they were meant to be part of the "Normal" process, until they encountered this problem ...
