Is this an Transporter Erector Launcher (TEL) or is it a Transporter Erector (TE) with a launcher and the stage on top of it? And I agree with the non L2 picture share request.

Here's one from L2 then, especially as people started getting carried away by asking if a stage was on it! It's unpainted and as you've seen in early photos, but cool that it's at the pad and we can see the rails and such - so I intend to write an article over the weekend (covering the pad work as we saw those rails arrive last year), as such I'll include more photos and info in that obviously

I like that SpaceX is patriotic, despite being a private company with global ambitions and no obligation to fly/display flags everyplace. Makes me proud.
I’m nauseatingly pro-American. It is where great things are possible.
