Elon Musk has reiterated recently that Tesla's goal is to reach Model 3 production of 10,000 per week in 2019.
But not all of those sales will be in the US. According to the Q3 update document:
"The mid-sized premium sedan market in Europe is more than twice as big as the same segment in the US. This is why we are excited to bring Model 3 to Europe early next year. "
- FireBeyond 8y agoThe number of auto sales in the US is determined by demand, not by how much auto makers can supply (within price adjustment constraints, of course).
- Reason077 8y agoThe Model 3 is currently production constrained. Tesla sell as many as they can produce.
- kllrnohj 8y ago> But not all of those sales will be in the US. According to the Q3 update document: Which would make it even less likely Tesla can hit 10% of US passenger car sales as they'll be sacrificing what little production they have to try and break into other markets. Anyway just hitting 10k/week in 2019 isn't sufficient for the 500k number. They'd need to average 10k week for the entirety of 2019. Very different things.
