Tesla seems to have achieved Model 3 production rate of 5,000 units as employees celebrate
This is good enough for me!!!

Great news, I hope the guy doesn't get into trouble for posting that though - the tweet has already been taken down.

Race to 5000 kinda reminds me of this Ron Howard film:

Yay !
Great news. I’m really glad they did it.

Thanks seattlite2004.

I'm sure Gung Ho has been invoked more than a few times by Tesla employees over the last year. Personally, I wouldn't want to own a Model 3 manufacturing during one of the burst build periods.

Hopefully they keep it going like they did with the 2000 milestone, though

7000?!?!?!

Combined amongst all three models.

7000 cars, Not 7000 Model 3's

Combined amongst all three models.

Okay. I see that now. Was gonna say! Still an amazing achievement!

Building 2,000 S/X while hitting 5,000 Model 3 is important in that the 5K didn't use the "cheat" of borrowing resources from the S/X line, as that wouldn't be sustainable.

 

[Zoomit]

Let’s all realize that the effort over the past week isn’t sustainable, but they know what’s needed to make it so. I don’t expect 5000/wk continuous for another month or so.

What is the basis for your opinion? I have some thoughts but I'd like to hear yours.

Musk Tweets - Tesla Production Hits 7,000 In 7 Days, Model 3 5,000

the article states

This doesn’t suggest that Tesla will continue at a pace of 5,000 Model 3s per week though. Special circumstances existed to make this achievement possible.

Word has it that it was all hands on deck to make this possible. Additional employees were called in, called back, transferred to the factory from the headquarters, pulled in from SolarCity and so on. Basically, Tesla pushed itself to its very limit to achieve this feat, so don’t expect it to be repeated in the next 7 days too.

 

[J X 3]

That's the reporter trolling a bit because this is a full 7 days output so they likely entered bellow 5k and exited above. So burst prod should be well above 5k now.
In any case , Elon's leaked email stated
"What’s more, with the widespread productivity gains throughout Tesla and the new production lines spooling up, we are on track to reach 6K/week for Model 3 next month."
Text of Elon Musk's Email to Tesla Employees After Hitting Goal

Uncertain if in all the chaos he was aware it's already July and next month is August or he meant 6k in July.
