There are some pretty big worries[1] about tesla's plans for hitting the sales target with the Model S. I remember watching very sad stories on GM's EV car way back in the day.
Basically they want to sell 100K cars within this year this is ~5 times what they sold with the model X/S last year. Time will tell though...

- Robotbeat 9y agoI never know what to make of Seeking Alpha, except their articles on Tesla don't ever seem to be terribly balanced. (Both directions.)
- _ph_ 9y agoThat is not correct. They sold about 80k S/X last year, with the X still growing, achieving 100k does not sound too far-fetched, they sold 47k cars in the first two quarters of the year. The article is extremely biased and full of FUD. The transition to 100kWh batteries was not without problems, that is why they kept the 90kWh option until last quarter. As usual, Tesla might have been slightly optimistic with their timing of the transition from 90 to 100 kWh, consequently there was a slight delay in getting enough 100kWh vehicles made. But they managed to build 25k vehicles in the second quarter as planned. Deliveries lag behind that, as many vehicles have been made but not delivered yet.
