I'd conclude that the rumor was half-true, which is probably the case with most of the rumors that spring up.
You're much more bullish on our predictions than I am. :wink:

AnOutsider noted the original rumor above, that has obviously turned out to be nonsense. The factory was shutdown for a variety of things:

Meh.....I'll take what I can get. Pleasing forum members is harder than pleasing my parents growing up. I only post info that I feel confident about and won't reveal my source(s).

....production is going into high gear next week.
The original thread title claimed Model X production would begin August 3. Instead, "several Model X test vehicles" were built on the updated line to validate it. Also as Elon has already mentioned they plan on building more validation vehicles so that the ramp can be much faster when they start building customer vehicles.

At least Twiddler's rumor of initially building cars for demo/test event purposes could fit with this description. Nowhere does it claim that the production isn't continuing either.
It is true OPs "high-gear" comment is not confirmed, but then I personally always felt it was excessively interpreted on TMC. I don't think OP ever meant to claim maximum capacity. I said so earlier in this thread (and was ignored as usual .
If high gear isn't somewhere close to max capacity what gear is max production rate then? High gear implies a lot of cars coming off the line. More than 100 by the end of the year.
Top Gear is pretty low.

Tesla's was using guided carts over a year ago, but since then they use an overhead conveyor that was originally used by the NUMI factory.
Interesting. Well, I've seen or worked with several arrangements that use a mix of different conveyor transport methods,....
Sorry if I'm getting off topic; but I thought viewers of this thread would like to have more appreciation for why delays in assembly startup are so common.
