Not sure it's possible to maintain at production targets. 2014 if I recall, Tesla did ~35k units. That's ~12 cars/ hr if we assume 12 hour work days.
Their 2016 target is 100,000 cars or 33 cars per hour by 2016. So for example they'd have to both double their plant capacity then get 50% better at making cars. Seems like a tall order but perhaps doable for a guy like Musk :)
