That 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.
