    Just something interesting when I test drove / picked up my taco 2 months ago. Robot cup marks still visible on the glass. I found it particularly interesting because I work in the robotics / automation industry. Have never done anything with glass and / or main line assembly. Anybody else here in the industry?

    I had suction cup marks on my door panels. I did think it was a little odd. I wiped with 303 and interior looks great.

    Do you need to know, or care?
    Lack of dealer prep, should have washed those marks off. :D

    Nice truck though.

    Funny you should post that. I have the same mark on my sunroof. First thing I thought was "damn my coffee cup leaked".

    I'm a maintenance tech at Tesla so 90% of my day is working on automated equipment/with suppliers if that counts. Who do you work for?

    I have a cat that just loves to sit on hoods, he really loves the scoop. Drives me nuts, get truck washed only to find dam cat prints (dirt) all over the hood.

    I heard that your parking lot at Tesla is like a free for all zoo. Is that true?

    The main factory is pretty ridiculous but they're doing a lot of work with shuttles and private park and rides to try to mitigate the parking issues. I work at the seat factory so it's not as bad.
