But the bigger concern is that we are now 6 months into the Model X launch and they are still dealing with these issues. This will not instill confidence in the 3 ramp up and provides needless ammo for the bears and doubters in the Tesla story.
Off topic, but how do you like the windshield? The 3's extends all the way to the back, which is insane... I've been toying with the idea of getting an X for some time (have had a res placed since Feb 2015).There are no issues with the X. I know because I picked up mine last week and it is flawless. Could not be more happy, with the finish, door operation, and safety features! In fact, the car avoided two accidents already, by doing forceful emergency breaking on the freeway for me.
Well, call order filled just before close... Can kiss that money goodbye. Oh well. This hurts credibility quite a bit though. Early Feb they say 16k, and then they miss by over 1k vehicles? It's easy to take reservations, much harder to build cars. I know that's the shorts' story, but its true, and this hurts tesla's case.
I'm not worried about the little loss I took. Just learned my lesson that short-term is very challenging to predict.
How low do we go now???
Well to be fair, if they are producing 1000 Model S a week and 750 Model X, then missing the guidance by 1180, means they were only off by 2/3 of a single week's worth of production by the end of the quarter.
Can we have @jesselivenomore un-banned?
I'd really like to hear his thoughts on how this miss may play out.

Not the suppliers fault, it's Teslas fault for designing the most difficult car in the
World to build. Frankly hubris is too kind a word to express incompetence.
It's easy to take reservations? In my view it's not easy at all. I am pretty sure the kind of achievement like model 3 reservation has never happened in history. I bought some just above 236, and hope I can get more at even better price.Well, call order filled just before close... Can kiss that money goodbye. Oh well.

Is this the actual press release? Amazes me they would actually claim hubris.
Everyone mentions 750 Model X a week, but I would not be surprised if build rate is actually 350/week, and 750 was achieved by push in completing partially assembled Xs that were stockpiled.
Doesn't mean much long term, but I caution against over-enthusiasm
Seriously, trying to do very hard and slightly missing is far better than being conservative. We aren't in Tesla for them to be tepid. GM is tepid. VW is tepid. Call it incompetence if you want, but no one else has ever delivered a ~250 mile SUV/CUV BEV that seats 7. We'll see if anyone else is up for that challenge.
If there is one company in the whole world that doesn't deserve the word "incompetence", that is Tesla. Then add SpaceX to the list.Not the suppliers fault, it's Teslas fault for designing the most difficult car in the
