I think you’re missing the point: a technology advance without the ability to mass-produce isn’t a real advance. Otherwise we’d all be using VR-enabled memristo

- goshx 9y agoAm I? I consider 2,000/week Model S (announced back in 2016) mass production. Just because Model 3 mass production is delayed by a few months it does not mean they can’t do it.
- moomin 9y agoThe point is: there's no guarantees it will be delayed by just a few months. But besides, even if they had hit all of their targets, they might just succeed, if they really pushed it, to make as many as Toyota managed to sell of _one_ Prius model (the liftback) last year, in Japan alone.
- goshx 9y agoNobody said there are guarantees. Please read my first comment. Comparing a 80 year old company production with a 14 year old company and expecting the same production power is unrealistic.
