I would guess Tesla announces the 200,000th domestic sale sometime in the next week. They could be hitting their ramp-up to high production of the Model 3 right when they hit the 200k domestic electric car milestone. This also happens to be right at the beginning of a quarter so they can get as many $7500 federal tax credits for their customers as they can. One would guess this is not just some lucky coincidence, but who knows.
- andromeduck 8y agoThat's only for American sales so no reason why they can't ramp production and just export to other markets.
- njarboe 8y agoThat is why I said "domestic sales". They want to hit 200k US sales at the beginning of a quarter and when they have a high production rate. That would be this quarter starting July 1, as they are already very near the 200k limit. It's not reasonable to think they could export the whole next quarter's production of S, X and 3 production without many serious repercussions. One being pissing off hundreds of thousands of US model 3 reservation holders.
