It may be of interest to see if Tesla could speak to the use of this type of electrochemical passivation device to create a homogenous uniform passivation layer : https://www.fronius.com/en-us/usa/w...ual-welding/tig/magiccleaner/magiccleaner-150

I am not sure what the “series” is status post cold rolling. Starting material may be 300 series, yet after the treatment and transform, how they designate the series is ? It may depend upon what depth the Martensitic layer extends in proportion to the entire thickness of the material...

This article speaks to a novel detonation plasma spray to create erosion resistant coating on Martensitic Stainless Steel. https://www.ijert.org/research/erosion-resistant-coatings-on-martensitic-stainless-steels-IJERTV10IS050475.pdf

This article speaks to the use of hydrofluoric acid to produce superhydrophobic coatings that provide the benefits of corrosion resistance, drag reduction and self cleansing...

This article speaks to a pico second laser treatment to Martensitic stainless steel that could render surfaces even antimicrobial and superhydrophobic…….. perhaps this laser micro surface alteration is worth investigating? https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/acs.langmuir.9b01333

Scott, what is BARD? I did not summarize for a reason. Investigation of this would best be accomplished by reading the article for details would be missed with simple summary. I will provide a synopsis with any other links that may prove to be of application and interest. Respectfully...

Love it….. thank you for making me smile. They say it’s a 300 series. Who is JG……..

Thank you for the clarification. Fascinating…..? cheers.

Question on semantics, does your definition of drive line parts include the battery pack and its component parts?

You must be an employee or executive for Tesla. Any hint at what type of component? Drive line meaning motor?

I do not mean as sole reason….. but could it be a factor?

Two words: Solid State, ok three words: Semi Solid State….. toward Solid State. This will be a game changer and allow for much Longer range and faster Charging…… This is perhaps why Tesla may be deferring the initial large run of CB? Maybe they are precisely trying to make good on claims of...

Fair enough. Hope Springs eternal…..cheers

If this is my first Tesla, and no such referrals exist, is there any other means ? Not sure how to contact Elon or Franz directly to respectfully request such……. But I would be gobsmacked if it could be arranged. ?

Any insights into how one may formally request to tour the Gigafactory and possibly pick up the CB? I know BMW, Porsche etc offer tours if you choose a European delivery and ship the car. Given the unique vehicle, and the very intrigue in purchasing such at its price point, I would be very...
