How Advertising can help? BMW example

[Brando]

We shall see how BMW ads increase or maintain sales.
My bias - good luck with that.

Why are liberal women so hideous?

Average amount spent on advertising (by other-than-Tesla) is $1000/car. Waste of money to support the entirely parasitic ad industry. We'd all be better off if fewer companies advertised, not more. Then people might base decisions on more facts > propaganda.

Over 400K delivered in 1 quarter.

I wonder if Tesla has the capacity to make 500k per quarter with current manufacturing lines.

Not current. China + Nevada + Fremont perhaps in 2-3 years. (AND EU coming)

reminder: Model 3, in the US, the highest revenue. (more than Accord or Civic or Camry or Corolla)
and I believe ALL German similar sized premium sedans combined in US by number if not revenues.

Gotcha.

@Garlan Garner

side note: Tesla making near 90,000 per quarter (NOT 400,000/Q) - should reach 350,000 min. and close to 400,000 for 2019.

With China coming on line, but in ramp up, we don't know how many they can make by year end.

Batteries, for example, may again/still be the limiting function AND all the other thousands of parts, even tires. AND Model Y is a new model. So China MAY BE mostly #1- prototypes, #2- Engineering Prototypes and then #3- qualifying prototypes. After these prototypes then regular ramp up production can get started.

Battery Packs, batteries, electric motors, inverters/motor controllers, seats, all which Tesla currently makes in US, so ramp up of all these sub-systems may have startup problems.
