Tesla aims to start pilot production of Model 3 cars on February 20
This is good news.Musks target of 500,000+ cars a year of velocity in 2018 is an insane goal!By the numbers:- They have just shy of 400,000 of the 3's on deposit, along with a backlog of other models.- Last year Tesla shipped about 76,000 cars.- Their Q4 delivery numbers were - They blamed last quarter on autopilot hardware issues, eg OEM supplier / component issues.- They made a significant uptick in velocity between Q2 (14,000 cars) and Q4 (22,200 cars).I can't imagine how hard Tesla is pushing - for any Tesla HN's good luck! We are rooting for you :)If, somehow, Musk reverses the chronic lateness and hits 500,000 in 2018 it's going to be quite the fireworks show.https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-01-03/tesla-fal...
