Is this the last major Model 3 delay

[Big-T]

Hey folks, now that the Model 3 has been pushed back one quarter, I'm sure threads will be full of folks shifting their delivery time, calculating if they'll get their full federal rebates still if they are choosing AWD, etc, etc.

I'd just like a simple yes/no on whether you think come the next earnings call the model 3 ramp will be on track (with the new revised timeline) and they'll stay that way thru your car's delivery or if you think there will be another delay and another explanation of why they're delayed further but how they expect to be on track NEXT quarter.

It won't be the last. Other economists have predicted bottlenecks in places like the paint shop... but that is a bottleneck which will only come into play when
Tesla reaches a significant volume... as in the paint shop can only paint X number of vehicles per year while Musk is projecting twice that volume of production.
So there you go

but you can make a solid bet by now.....looking at the track record.

If someone asks you about Model Y delays.......what would your vote be?

Is this the last major Model 3 delay?

If so, I wonder if it would have been of any help to build a batch of cars with a battery and store the cars,
and then remove the batteries to put them into a new batch of car?

That sounds a bit scandalous.

The poll count at this point is not where I thought it would be. Very interesting.
