Production

Hi There, I own a model 3 2020 and love it. i think the Highland is a great update and actually ordered it yesterday. Two to six weeks until delivery. I don't have a VIN number yet but can I, if I have the VIN, look up were it was made? I am also curious how these Tesla's are transported...

What are your guy’s predictions on what’s going to happen in Q4?

Hi guys, this is a thread where we talk about the new Model S and Model X Standard range, and the first question to start this thread is, will Tesla offer a different battery pack eventually on the Standard range, maybe even a Standard range+?

This is a poll for which Model X would you get in your current circumstances, it doesn’t matter which circumstances it just matters which you would get if you had to choose.

Hi guys I’m wondering about what you think if Tesla no longer made the Model S/X, I know that Tesla announced that they won’t make RHD Model S/X vehicles. Is this an early sign of death for these cars, or is there something bigger that Tesla is planning?

I understand that Tesla will be removing ultrasonic sensors in the 2023 model Y along with a few other updates. I ordered my model Y 1 month ago and is expected to arrive between Feb and May 2023. Is there any indication that the model Y I ordered will have these updates? Has production for...

350K units? 500k? 750k? Does anyone know the plan today and the goal?

Regarding Tesla solar energy products: Is the production of power (kW) and energy (kWh) *as shown in the Tesla app* either DC (before inverter losses) or AC (after inverter losses)? For PV array performance monitoring, I would want DC. For utility bill comparison purposes, I would want AC. My...

I received my VIN last week after accepting the Vision only switch notice. Then my delivery time went from specific date ranges (ie, 6/5-6/25) to more generic 2-9 weeks. And today, my VIN is gone. what gives? Anyone else? im checking with my SA, but she’s off today.

We’ve seen some drone footage and leaked footage, but nothing quite like this video from Tesla. There’s been a ton of talk about Tesla’s massive Giga Press machines and its megacasting process. While we’ve seen how large the machines are – about the size of a small house – and have some idea of...

Let’s take a look at the projected ramp-up path for the Semi, according to rumored input from Tesla’s supplier. A very interesting set of rumors about the upcoming Tesla Semi electric truck was posted by Teslas enthusiast and investor Sawyer Merritt today. According to the tweets (see at the...

West Houston, TX. Today was my first day of production. Until yesterday, there was a problem with one of the two inverters and the whole thing did not produce. I thought the inverters were supposed to be redundant or at least independant. In any case, today, we had clouds on and off and a cold...

The numbers are record-setting and show that Tesla continues to ramp up sales. Tesla has just released its Q3 2020 production and delivery report, so the numbers are now in. See how Tesla fared this quarter right here. At 139,300 global deliveries of the Model Y, Model 3, Model S and Model X...

Other manufacturers would then be marginalized. By further exploring the numbers that Tesla hinted at during Battery Day, we realized that the company has massive plans for further expansion of electric vehicle production. The basic forecast is that Tesla will produce on its own some 10 GWh of...

He said that in an improvised press conference at the Giga Berlin site. The Tesla Model Y was born with massive expectations on its shoulders. It should have presented a revolutionary wiring harness system and massive cast parts. Although it had the cast parts, its standard wiring harness...

Does anyone know how many days it currently takes Tesla to build a new Model X? Trying to determine production time before a vehicle is shipped. Thanks.

More than 60% of all new Tesla registrations in California were Model 3. According to the Cross-Sell data (via Reuters), Tesla new car registrations in the U.S. were severely affected by the COVID-19 lockdown in the second quarter of 2020. The total registrations in California have decreased by...

At least if things are still like they were when a former Tesla VP for quality was there. We never get tired of repeating what engineers tell us all the time: buying the first batch of any product is risky. All initial production issues will present themselves to early adopters. When it comes to...

From electrek, an article about an internal memo Elon Musk sent to Tesla employees https://electrek.co/2020/06/08/elon-musk-tesla-model-y-production-ramp-up-problem-leaked-email/ From the memo (emphasis added by me): A couple ways this could shake out in my crystal ball: Optimistic: the...

Rumors suggest Austin is the top candidate for the electric pickup truck factory. It seems Tesla may be focused on Austin, Texas as the future site for the production of the Tesla Cybertruck and Model Y. This will likely be Tesla’s biggest factory to date too. Several American publications...

If only the Model Y repeats the Model 3 success in the crossover segment, sales might be two times higher (300,000 annually). Tesla has high ambitions and expectations for the Model Y, which might not only match but significantly expand on the Model 3 sales results. Most recently, the company...

Unfortunately, it was just a matter of time before it happened. Being in a state with over 4,000 people infected with COVID-19 made it a risky business to keep operating for Tesla and SpaceX. While Tesla suspended production on March 23, SpaceX is still active because it is part of the defense...

Tesla Gigafactory 3 might significantly offset the upcoming temporary shutdown of the Tesla Factory in California. The Tesla Gigafactory 3 in Shanghai reportedly surpassed its previous weekly production record of around 2,000 Made-in-China (MIC) Model 3 in 2019 and is now busy at work to meet...

The company announced it would suspend making cars only at the end of March 23. Tesla’s timing on this one may seem really unfortunate. When it announced it would finally suspend production, the governor of California, Gavin Newsom, almost simultaneously issued a “stay at home order” that...

The famous CEO – who has an enormous number of Twitter...

2.3% of all light-duty vehicles produced in the U.S. in 2018 were produced by Tesla in California. The U.S. light-duty vehicle production is dominated by the Eastern states, but thanks to Tesla, California is also engaged in car production (volume, series production) as the only Western state...

We’re counting the days until the Tesla Model Y hits owners’ driveways. It’s high time for Tesla to crank up its final testing stages of the Model Y and assure it’s ready for production and delivery. It comes as no surprise people are spotting it on public roads in various locations and out...

Tesla may finally be ahead of schedule. Right upon the heels of our recent article announcing that the Tesla Model Y may arrive as soon as two weeks from now, we have further information that indicates the all-electric crossover is set to hit the U.S. market in February. This all comes as no...

Tesla suppliers in Taiwan are reportedly experiencing “accelerating orders” for Tesla Model Y and Tesla Semi parts. Tesla Model Y is the next big product from Tesla, which already confirmed during its third-quarter earnings call that the market introduction is ahead of schedule. Originally, the...

Tesla Model Y is coming – volume production within two years Tesla announced in its Q4 report that this year it will start tooling for Model Y production. The upcoming SUV will be most likely produced at the Gigafactory 1 in Nevada, as there is not much space left at the Tesla Factory in...

Roughly 20,000 were produced so far this year. According to Bloomberg’s Tesla Model 3 Tracker, Tesla produced cumulatively more than 175,000 Tesla Model 3. Today, the counter indicates 175,870 Model 3 produced, which means 20,208 units produced so far in January. The most important news...

Get in on the full tax credit while it lasts The Tesla end-of-year sales push is now truly on. Several times now, Tesla or Elon Musk has called attention to the fact that the full $7,500 tax credit for Teslas is soon to enter the phaseout stage. However, now we’ve got an official...

What do you guys think Tesla will end up producing in Q4??? My guess is they will build 93,730 vehicles between S3&X. Lets she who comes the closest. Good Luck to all!

I'm getting a 4-5 week estimate for production timeline from Tesla. What are people's experiences with this? Is it usually an under or an over estimation.

Unsurprisingly, batteries are the culprit holding back large volume expansion by the carmaker. While plenty are ready to bash Tesla on short notice, with such a novelty product, it’s not that simple to make all things work. At once. After all, the initial product market introduction and high...

Soon it should increase by 1,000 every day. As of November 19, 2018, Bloomberg’s Tesla Model 3 Tracker indicates estimated cumulative production of the Tesla Model 3 at 125,323. Because the tool is based on estimated production rates in a particular quarter (production for previous...

Not quite Fremont levels, but still a healthy output figure. A new filing shows that Tesla intends to produce approximately 3,000 Model 3s in China per week in initial stages. Producing in China is essential to avoiding tariffs, which increase the price of imported cars. For Tesla, this...

How will this new trade war affect TESLA exports to Canada, EU etc. TESLA has had plans to build a plant in China ,due to issues there, but what about EU? Estimates in the US prices of vehicles will go up $3-5k (not necessarily TESLA) but what about other countries...

The way Tesla is handling M3 orders is entirely unacceptable. It is souring many people on both the experience & the brand. Things Tesla should change ASAP: #1 - Stop being so damn secretive about the reservation/delivery process This isn't a top secret government project (though they are...

Seems crazy to start this thread, given that Elon originally said West Coast orders would be prioritized. Just wanted to gather people who have received or are still waiting on VINs in California. Lately it seems priority is going to the rest of the country. I'll be at 5 weeks with no VIN as...

I'm thinking about selling our car in anticipation of an update coming out that will cause extra depreciation. Vroom seems to be an interesting option and wondering if anyone had used them. My only concern is that they give you an offer for your car and then send someone to pick up your car...

Hi All. I'm in the L.A. area and a current owner. I configured on 2/10, Silver, 19" Sports Wheels, PUP, Advanced Auto Pilot, and Automonous driving and I'm still waiting for a VIN. I see that people that configured on 2/14, 2/28 are getting VIN's in other states. I called Tesla a few times...

I'm waiting for a dual-motor SR. So obviously no joy for me. I was in line on the 31st at Mt. Kisco, NY and had my order in by 10 am. Any CT owners get a configuration email or VIN assignment. If so, are you already an owner, what sub-model, etc.
