I haven't said anything about hitting rollout targets. That's a separate issue from changing the order of production. Regardless of when it happens, the base model is no longer being produced before the D/P models, which was what they promised was going to happen regardless of the ramp rate. It would have been reasonable for someone, like the person you were talking to, to expect Tesla to produce the trims in the order they promised to do so for over 2 years, rather than the order in which they purportedly offered the S/X. We should hope they're not replicating the Model S's rollout, in which the base model was never physically produced (they shipped a small number of software-limited batteries instead), and was removed from the configurator soon after it was introduced.
- greglindahl 8y agoSo you're saying Tesla should have produced the base model S40 even though almost no one ordered it, and it would have been a loss compared to giving people more expensive cars with a software limit? OK then.
- dangrossman 8y ago> So you're saying Tesla should have... I didn't say that, and I don't have an opinion on what Tesla should have done 6 years ago. There's a pattern in this little comment chain of you criticizing people for beliefs they never expressed, or for saying something they never said. You're having conversations with yourself under the guise of replying to others. It's a little strange.
