ThinkAhead,
Tesla almost never meets deadlines. It would take a miracle for Tesla to be able to produce 1000 Model 3's next month (July 2017) when the factory line hasn't even been adequately tested yet and this is Tesla's first run at a mass produced car.  GM is an expert at this kind of thing, and it took them much longer to start mass producing the Bolt.  Tesla's rush to production, more likely than not, will result in a lot of problems and defects in the short to medium term.  I sure wouldn't want one of the first Model 3's off the line.
