Tesla pulled people from the S&X lines to reach their 5000 Model 3 goal. No way they also produced 2000 S&X cars in the past 7 days. In addition, their current death march schedule isn't sustainable. They won't come close to producing 7k cars in any week in July.
Tesla needs to spend billions in capex in order to get to 5000 M3 and beyond if they want to produce at a sustainable pace with acceptable quality. Billions they don't have.

- gizmo 8y agoI stand corrected. Thanks for the update.
- claytoneast 8y agoWhere are you pulling this information from? How do you know it costs billions to produce a 5k line? What quality failings do the currently produced m3s have? Can you substantiate any of this? I'm genuinely curious if you have information that I don't.
- Latteland 8y agoI think people are just making up those numbers. It costs a lot to design and implement new infrastructure, and it will cost much less to use it to make the next 5 or 50k cars than it did to get to 5k a week.
