VIDEO: Model S gets a paint job in the latest episode of Inside Tesla

In this week’s episode of “Inside Tesla,” a Body-in-White (assembled but unpainted body) gets a multi-layer paint job.

 

We knew what was going to happen next, but we still couldn’t wait for the next installment of this riveting serial. In this week’s episode of “Inside Tesla,” a Body-in-White (assembled but unpainted body) gets a multi-layer paint job. Robots quickly shower, dip and spray on the various high-tech coatings, even opening the doors and hood when necessary.

 

 

At the end, a solitary human runs a white glove over the robots’ handiwork to make sure the finish is perfect. Model S is available in 10 different colors.

Tesla has added a page of charging information to its web site, which includes a good bit of detail to help new Model S owners install their chargers and calculate charging times and costs.

Next week we’ll see the final assembly.
