>That's all factored in
You seem to be confused about what "factored in" means:
>it will then take some number of months
How many months? That's "factoring it in". "Some months" provides zero information.
>so calling this a "delay" is just wrong.
Of course there's no delay yet, it's all just talk. I think it's people planning for the inevitable delay, based on historical manufacturing results and this nebulous fudge factor.
The big news is the call of 500k cars by 2018 (100k-200k in 2017). If they can pull that off it's insane.
>their internal target dates at all
Again, who cares about some random internal date that may be off by some unknown number of months? What information do we glean from it? It's nigh useless.
And other manufacturers are far more transparent about their actual financial and production information.
- jrv 10y agoI don't feel confused about this and still think the article makes it sound like they are missing a publicly promised date (which may still happen in the future, but at the moment and regarding the July 1 date, that's just wrong), but I invite everyone to listen to the call themselves: http://edge.media-server.com/m/p/c67hnavs http://edge.media-server.com/m/p/c67hnavs EDIT: If you do add a bunch of stuff to your comments after the fact, it'd be nice to put an EDIT marker somewhere at least.

- dang 10y agoYour comments continue to be uncivil despite repeated requests to stop doing this. I almost banned your account for this, but it does seem like your comments have improved, so instead I'll just ask you to please improve them more. That means respecting the people you're talking to, even if they're wrong, instead of jabbing them.
