Because programming the line for MX and de-bugging it takes time. I believe they are still in the process of doing that. This includes using the line for trial runs, and then doing hardware adjustments/software de-bugging as required.

In case anybody was worried Musk might run out of markets to disrupt, there's this.

I did not see that, but I suppose in the mind of Musk it's a short step from falcon-wind doors to falcon wings with vertical thrust.
That was quick-

Good point about the journalist's recent tour. Nonetheless, I do think Musk's answer leaves much wiggle-room.

To an engineer accustomed to thinking in terms of orders of magnitude (I.e. 10x or 100x bigger), 1400 is approximately the same as 1000.
Elon, being the aerospace guy he is, often talks about orders of magnitude. When you're thinking two years down the road, as he must be as CEO, and ramping to 10,000 cars a week, the difference between 1400 and 1000 is a rounding error.

Food for thought:
New Tesla Motors assembly factory in Tilburg, Netherlands, bringing delivery output in Europe to a new level (link).
While some uncertainity about the production increase in the factory in Fremont, USA, remains we know that the delivery capabilities in Europe increased with the opening of the new assembly factory in Tilburg some weeks ago.
The new assembly factory in Tilburg is able to support an annualized 450 deliveries throughout Europe per week.
Sales network in Europe expanded to now 69 stores and service centers in 12 European countries.
BTW new Apple icar, Volkswagen Phaeton EV, Porsche mission e, Audi R8 and Quattro EV, BMW i5, spotted driving out in the wild (btw big credit to photographer):

I'm not an expert, but what I have read elsewhere, it takes 6 months to tune a car production line so that it deliveres a flawless car. So it is not that you just boot up some new software to robots.

Any news out about phone call for SW version 7.0 release with autopilot (video: autopilot in use, in use in the Netherlands)?
Q3 2015 ER as usually during first week of November?

Just to keep the record straight - you were responding to the post by mdemetri, not me. There was apparent error when mdemetri replied to my previous post and somehow carried over the wrong set of the "brackets".
I totally agree with you - I do not see any way new BIW line can be used for MS production before the end of the year. MS production will be done at the existing (old) BIW line, while MX body production will be scaling up on the new BIW line. This is the way the process was described by Elon during the ER. This is also the way it was described in response to my question during this summer's factory visit.
Production of the MS will be blended into the new BIW line some time in the future, and old BIW line will no longer be in use. I was told during the factory visit this summer that the space occupied by the old BIW line will eventually be used for Model 3 production. My guess that blending will not occur before the MX production is scaled up and running steady state, some time next year.

Well, as an engineer, I can tell you that to an engineer 1400 *is not* approximately the same as 1000. It is 40% more. :smile:

It's an entirely different sector and people are bearish on the outlook of travel (for some stupid reason).
Model X Founders are being delivered as we speak and I think it's a couple hundred cars
Democratic candidates brought up climate change issue as a priority and need for transfer to renewables.
Momentum building against hydrocarbons.
