Actually, the bottleneck may be with deliveries. They are stockpiling Model 3's in a way that indicates they may not have a well thought out plan on how to deliver them all.... lol.

Sorry to "disagree"but please note that people buy weeklies based on Internet rumors, speculation, sources etc. etc.
everybody and their cat have sources these days.......
What? Now you tell me?!?!? You've been my insider for the last year. Now I gotta go tell all my peeps to disregard!

Nope, not an insider, and never even knew one. All math and logic, and some excitement with a flavor of humor.

Yes, no question it is lower than EM's guidance for exit-17, but that's not news. More importantly, it'd be higher than what the market has priced.
My shares and LEAPS sure hope you're right! Unfortunately, I learned at an early age not to tie my hopes (and investments) to internet sources.
I actually had the same thought. How is this going to work? They want to do a years worth of deliveries every couple months before 2018 is up. This is a huge change.
Yeah, you're probably right. They probably didn't give any thought to how to deliver the 1000's of cars a week they were planning to produce.
It couldn't be batching for model-specific runs.
Or production ramped at a faster rate than anticipated after earlier challenges.
Or managing stock for EV tax credit purposes.
Or awaiting some additional supplier item.
Or ...
Is it possible that Tesla may be about to cross that 200 k vehicle line and are holding off till the beginning of Jan???

If that's the bottleneck it would be really dissappointing. Not like they realized in December 2017 that they're gonna have all these cars to deliver....
I know this location. It's at the office complexes on Fremont Blvd between Warren and Dixon Landing, right by a bay Creek. Looking at Google maps, looks like there's a Tesla delivery center there now.
That's certainly my goal for them, produce more Model 3s (>1,000) in the last production week of the year so their early January production/delivery announcement can say they exited the year producing more Model 3s than Models S' or Xs. Would give a big jolt to TSLA.

I saw 3 model 3's today. The blue one I was behind I got a decent look at. One thing I noticed is when I'm behind it in my Honda Civic, the back trunk looks higher than I thought. I wonder if this blocks some of the view when looking out the back.
I haven't driven one yet, but I've seen what I would charitably call 'less than great visibility' called out in several Model 3 impressions videos/articles, to the point that folks are turning on the rear-view camera to see if someone's behind them at night. Pretty sure that high trunk ceiling does block a significant portion of the rear view.

I was thinking the other day looking at a Mercedes, they're all like this now. Out of curiosity I did a quick comparison of a Mercedes C class, it's by no means to exact scale. The M3's rear window is indeed a little shallower, and more importantly has a more pronounced taper at the bottom, limiting the width of the view. I also noticed that the side mirrors on the M3 appear much lower but it could be the perspective tilting things, and the trunk opening on the C-class is horrendously small.
