Tesla had planned to make 5,000 Model 3 vehicles per week by the end of 2017 when it launched the vehicle in July, but it adjusted that goal after making just 2,425 Model 3s during the fourth quarter.
So they went from a planned 60,000 vehicles to 2400? That is a huge production fail. Hitting less than 5% of your production goal means there's something seriously wrong with your process..

Sounds like he is trying to keep the people from demanding their money back which would probably bankrupt him.

"200 thousand spontaneous fires sounds a bit high...According to the National Fire Protection Association there were 174,000 car fires in 2015, the last year they have stats for. They actually have stats going back to 1980 when there were 456 thousand car fires."
OK. Will give you 175k. That is close to my 200k number plus there are probably a bunch that are not included in the NFPA data base.
"The overwhelming majority of vehicle fires were caused by accident... A car colliding with another car or object. "
Only if you think the 3% number as provided by the NFPA is an overwhelming majority ...

“200 thousand spontaneous fires sounds a bit high... According to the National Fire Protection Association there were 174,000 car fires in 2015, the last year they have stats for. “
And 445 deaths. According to the NFPA that is 12% of all US fire related deaths.

Even a sock Mustang today has better performance, better safety and comfort.

Dude, they are now greater than 60% of Their goal ...

500 units a day is not vapor ware.

But it’s not nearly as cool!

When combined with sub-12 quarter miles and handling that would shame any 60’s muscle car!
To: TexasGator
Yes, but I miss the simplicity of the old muscle cars. Today’s cars have 30 sensors on them that feed into a computer that determines everything from spark timing per cylinder to the amount of fuel injected in each cylinder.

Like needing a two-universal socket rig to remove a spark plug.
Like being twenty miles out from town and finding out that neither your 1” or 1 1/4” socket will fit the failed block temperature sender.
