Musk had said you're not a real company until you're turning a profit. Now he says they just became a real company.

I don't know about that. Have you ever walked by all the stores in Spain that display their ham sandwiches? They have pork everywhere. Don't know how we could guarantee the purity of albinos from a country with hanging hams and gored bulls everywhere.
I know I'm from portugal same difference.
Ever since Bush and his invasion of Iraq and unwarranted slaughter of innocent people - you know, collateral damage AKA justifiable terrorism, I have visited various European countries as a place to escape. Portugal rates way high up there, but I could not manage their language at all. But then, I dropped out of German classes in college because I didn't like the rules. I speak English and have always been linguistically challenged with other languages. And as much as I want to leave, I am like salmon coming home to spawn. I enjoy the trips elsewhere and the discussions with people who are not Americans, but I get anxious to come home.
Tesla becoming a success in spite of all the hurdles has been the redeeming aspect of life in this country for me. But it's true that Europe has some very fine looking women and gazing at them as they pass by the bistros makes for an ever enticing trip abroad.
So now I suppose I have offered something to offend everyone. What's new?
Born in Portugal but live In the U.S.A. but because of the orange one i..... wrong place to discuss sorry.
Perhaps we can talk about this in the Algarve region. You would have to speak English while I would speak anger and resentment.
I'm not sure they're that smart, bluntly. Not sure they're smart enough to give up. They may try to cut off Tesla's access to its lines of credit, drive the stock price low enough that the convertibles have to be paid off in cash, or even sabotage equipment to induce expensive replacements. I think they'll realize it's hopeless after Tesla actually reports GAAP profits for two quarters, but quite possibly not before then.
In this case they'll relent when they start to run out of money, which is around 5 years from now for oil. They have other priorities like making sure they don't lose the airplane market too.If however, this is a campaign funded by fossil fuel industries, then the shorts won't relent. Simple as that
If it's funded by competing auto manufacturers, they will never relent.
It is also white interior trim pieces and I think headliner. Like you say, seats should be easy.
Pretty obviously they have a supply problem with the white seat material.
Seeking Alpha shorts has my permission to use the following ideas to pen their FUD for Monday.
5000 Model 3 in one week was an unsustainable anomaly.
Tesla has to return the tents they bought at Walmart before 30 days.
5000 Model 3 bankrupts Tesla faster. Was supposed to be bankruptcy in mid 2019 but the more cars made the faster this comes.
Long dated Puts at the $5 strike are easy money.

Celebratory banner expenditures are growing at an unsustainable pace.
I would like to say, "I don't get it."
Tesla Now Has Another Problem After Hitting Model 3 Production Milestone
I expect they do not understand how Autopilot and Full Self Driving alter the margin structure of the vehicle.
I hope that Tesla reports the fraction of buyers who choose that option, and that the number is over 50%.

Interesting thoughts.
Even though the land the factory is on has been shrinking due to the super-high-density government housing project smack dab in the middle of an area the factory could have expanded into, forever causing probably a trillion dollars worth of damage to the California economy just so a couple of stanky asses on the Fremont city council could put tassels on their hot tub, there's still room left.
Compare daily satellite images of Tesla production locations
It's not the manly room left before the city took most that free land, but it is enough to squeeze in another tent line where the test track is (and perhaps move the test track to around the tent), and another tent line where the South of factory (North of Fisher) dirt parking lot is that doesn't seem to get used that much any more anyway.
That would be a lot cheaper than other ideas I've had: put a couple of lines elsewhere, like in Livermore, Nevada, somewhere on I-80, or in the deserts in South California where they have plenty of solar power. Transport would be a problem, but I was thinking the new cargo blimp designs could carry quite a bit using electric motors, even with solar panels on the skin, and there wouldn't be a need for ground transport hell. Locations in Nevada and near Fremont might not need as much transport. Another option is a bit of land out East of 680: nothing extravagent, just enough to put a few more tent lines.
I have to say that article is almost entirely content-free. I guess they had to say something.
I believe Ford is a little bid confused about comparisons.
The question is not how many ICE cars Tesla can produce per week but how many Model 3 like EV cars Ford can produce.
These fundamental misunderstanding may be a larger risk for the future of Ford.
"Not impressed was Steven Armstrong, Ford Motor's CEO for Europe, the Middle East and Africa. "7000 car, circa 4 hours (heart) Ford Team (heart),"
Tesla 'real car company' after hitting Model 3 goal, Musk says
To answer the question I believe Ford has so far a weekly production rate of Model 3 like cars of zero.

Yeah, but I hear their passenger sedan production is really going to take off in the next couple of years, with a flagship sports sedan that is already being nicknamed the "Tesla Killer!"
What do we have so far for today:
- 5 k/w M3 confirmed
- 7 k/w S&X&3 confirmed
- On track for 6k/w M3 in July
- Largest Battery project in UK (P400 M, 350 MWH)
- Panasonic confirmes willingness to invest more in GF
