The 5,000 mark seems to be a red herring, though. Tesla has lined up European and Chinese factories (latter one seems to be accelerated due to tariffs) and copying existing processes to new factories is something that seems doable. So even if Fremont stays at 4,500 forever, they could double or triple worldwide weekly production by just completing the factory build outs.
