I visited the dealership recently and took these pictures. I'll be going back to take more as they take the car apart even further. The 5000 mile service is fairly comprehensive.

I went back today after being contacted by the service technician informing me that more of the components had been taken apart and that he'd gone as far as he'd needed. It'd be a good time for me to take more pictures and so I took some more:

All the parts laid out

Screws, fasteners, bolts, etc all organized

Even under the skin, there's CF components

Rear suspension components under the covers

Nothing but "tailight"

Rear brakes (note the e-brake caliper on the lower right)

Rear shock

Interlock tab for center hub unit

Some of the many tubings

The black tube leads air into the rear rotor cooling it

Close up of rear caliper

Front brakes (note the ventings)

Passenger side mirror

Components all laid out

Some of the many foreign made components used

Rear bumper

Rear side fenders

Wheels and battery
