But even so. I suspect the first quarter will have produced about 7500 cars. That is like 625 cars per week. I’m not sure what the wording was when referencing 2500 cars per week by end of first quarter. An average, burst. I think there may be a stock opportunity about second week of second quarter. It will be interesting in a couple years to find out what the real hold up was. Software, robotics, supply chain. At this point I suspect doubts of 2500 per week by end of 2018 are starting to surface. I wonder if the new battery back assembly integration is the culprit. Time will tell.

as more time wears on, the more pessimistic I become. They were supposed to be at 5000 per week in December, then end of Q1, then end of Q2 and 2500 per week by end of Q1. Considering they only registered 1088 new VINs from Feb 3 to March 2 and no more since then, I don't see production ramping up yet.
And it was a non owner who configured 2/22. 2 weeks to VIN for them and some are still waiting for 30+ days. Its just luck at this point.

There might be the possibility that a few key things need to fall in place and then there is a huge jump in production. Possibly the German battery machine. Like I say, a couple years from now we’ll be able to read about the delay...hopefully not in the companies epitaph.

When did you configure? Congrats. Same exact as me configured on 2/14/18, no VIN (but you are East Coast)

Nice. Hoping that is meaning VIN coming soon for me as well. Enjoy it!
they are not that close....latest estimate puts them over the threshold at the end of Q2/early Q3. But much of it will be driven by M3 deliveries in the next few months

I am pretty sure they will line up as many deliveries to happen before 3/31 as they can. I'd be willing to bet you'll get yours soon.

Just saw from your previous post that you configured on 2/10, white/aero. I (and I am sure several other white/aero people on this thread) find this upsetting that Tesla is clearly not delivering in order. I ordered on 2/4/2018, white/aero, SoCal, NO VIN.Duh Yes Mar 3rd and Mar 10th
Obviously not your fault. Congrats!
Yep. I configured 2/4. Previous owner, black, aeros, EAP in the SF Bay Area very close to Tesla in Fremont.. No VIN. Now at 31 days and counting...
So I shouldnt even be checking until you get your VIN as we are the same config yet you have 10 days on me.
In Q4, they never actually produced 1000 cars in a single week, but their production rate over the last few days of the quarter extrapolated across a week was close (~997/week if I remember right). I'd expect at this point that the best case scenario for Q1 '18 is a similar result, i.e. a production rate of ~357.14 cars/day (2500/7) for at least one day before the end of the quarter.
Either way, I'm cautiously optimistic that they'll push to get a large portion of our orders out the door and delivered before the end of the quarter.
