MX rate is 1350 through August 17.
Days for 1000 entries the last three-thousands were : 9, 11,11,13+
Over four 1000-unit periods, average is 1000/11day - 90/day, 636/wk. (114/day July, 104/day Aug)
Appears to be slowing. Data doesn't lie.
Tesla has maintained 1000/wk for Model S for quite some time, almost an un-natural series of 140-142/day for four months now. Including through the MS60 re-introduction and apparent large amount of people posting online that they were ordering 60s. Some pulled-back from Model 3 orders to "now" and others not choosing a 75 because they really don't need to pay $9000 more.
Vin distribution for MS looks like this (Aug is 15475x on July 31 through Aug 17th - 15675x on 8/17)..

I present actual data that "analysts" like Ben Kallo, Adam Jonas or Trip Chowdhry do not. I think I have far more research done than Fidelity, Bailley and TROWE put together. They seem to just listen to the Earnings calls and see what analysts post and then buy billions in stock using other peoples' money. I present it as open-source research and feel everyone should base decisions on data, not opinion.
I think the next move after the Q1/Q2 build-out of lots of P90D and DL - is to make a bunch of MS60 and 60D inventory through Q3 into Q4 for inventory build to try to make it to the guidance number. Some vin # blocks now may be pre-assigned for such builds. That's what they did to end Q1 and within Q2 to keep the Vin # rate going at that 1000/wk, it seems.
And the noted 2-year lease program above allows people to "get their thrills for less money for a shorter time". Hmmm.
If Tesla were smart, they would lease (or even rent) their CPO cars to generate revenue.
