There's a pattern from Elon of overpromising, and then pulling through, but way later. I wouldn't be surprised if they're easily staying at a 5000/week production baseline in the next three months.
- rich-w-big-ego 8y agoElon used the same over-promising strategy during the build-up to the start of Model 3 production. Elon promised that Tesla would start producing Model 3s in July 2017, noting that production would not actually start until sometime later; since some supplier somewhere would mess up and miss the deadline (and have themselves fired), they would inevitably be delayed. It's the same thing in this case: promise really aggressively, and be serious about the promise, but understand that Tesla will be delayed by the least lucky, least effective part of the team/production line. This way, Tesla can be aggressive, even though if you go by their promises, they should be _really_ aggressive.
