8 in each rack and may be 15 racks.. so 120 side panels

Not to be OCD, but on the bottom and middle rack, if you look at the cab portion of the panels, I believe you can see a total of seven racks of eight. Can't detect any extras up top. That at least gets us to 152 left sides of R1Ts. It's a good start, or at least a good half-start....

That was two weeks ago and there was no event in California referenced.

I can pretty much confirm the truck was in So Cal.

They glue/bolt aluminum panels on. You don't weld aluminum.

You are correct, but I think he meant that welding would be for repairs.

My son is an engineer a Boeing. Occasionally, back when he went into the plant to work, he got to do some hands on work with fasteners. He got to bring home a sample panel. With the exception of the 787 being mostly carbon fiber, aircraft are aluminum and held together with many, many rivets, some adhesives and screws.

Right, but it's a little more difficult to weld, and MOST shops can't weld aluminum properly.

FIFY

Welding aluminum badly is easy. High quality aluminum welding is hard.

Do we know if they can produce 120 trucks a day, week or month?

 

[TessP100D]

Oh. I see mine.

Very funny.

Right, but it's a little more difficult to weld, and not all shops can weld aluminum properly.

I would hope that a rivian certified shop would have a welder that is good with aluminum.
