being sold out doesn't mean much when they produce such a low number when compared to other companies? ... Also, I'm not betting against electric vehicles but so many other companies are coming in the market very quickly.
- toomuchtodo 5y agoThey increase production rate ~100% YOY, and delivered ~500k vehicles last year. Berlin GF4 and Austin GF5 go live by the end of the year, Fremont is expanding. Tesla is not without substantial fault, just not something I'd bet against. The markets will stay hopeful longer than one can remain solvent and snarky. The market is proven (see: this thread's title). People on HN complain (quality, autopilot, musk, cost, etc) while people with their wallets open (see sold out comment above) purchase Teslas even with the (well documented) issues the vehicles have.
- Black101 5y agoAlso, as of 2021, Consumer Reports rates the Model 3 like this: https://i.imgur.com/En8Yqv4.png https://i.imgur.com/En8Yqv4.png For your comment below "folks are buying enough Teslas to support the production capacity of Tesla" ... that only means that Tesla is not producing more then what they can sell? (Note: I posted my reply above because HN/dang won't let me post a reply below)

- URSpider94 5y agoThey don’t produce “such a low number”. Tesla produced half a million cars last year, which is pretty close to what Subaru sold in the USA. They are actually getting within a factor of two of the production of mainstream manufacturers.
