Exclusive: Suppliers question Tesla's goals for Model 3 output
Reuters has a report that seems to imply that suppliers for the Model ≡ production are doubtful whether the deadline can be met. I think it was clear that Elon's 01JUL2017 goal was lofty, but even if just one supplier misses the deadline, the whole project is delayed. Maybe Tesla will take a lesson from the Model X, and realize that if a feature is too complex (like the falcon wing doors) they may change the design in order to stay on schedule.
