Tesla Motors, Inc. – First Quarter 2013 Shareholder Letter:
Outlook
[FONT=Arial,Arial][FONT=Arial,Arial]"While we expect to build about 5,000 Model S vehicles in Q2, some cars will be in transit to Europe for start of deliveries in Q3. As a result, we expect to deliver slightly over 4,500 vehicles during Q2, all in North America. For the full year of 2013, we expect to exceed our prior target of 20,000 worldwide deliveries and feel comfortable raising guidance to about 21,000 deliveries."

Do they want to "surprise" us again by producing more than they expected (just like in Q1 2013)?
At a rate of 500 per week, they should be producing 6,500 in Q2 2013.
Your thoughts please.
