So any word on November Model 3 Production?

[Webeevdrivers]

I scanned the forums and didn't see another thread with any recent info. Just curious. Had a couple people ask me because of our EV's and didn't have an answer. Are things getting any better?

If you accept insideevs as a good source: 345 M3's.

Thanks for the quick answer. That's actually quite a surprise for me although I'm probably not in the loop as much as some. Do you figure there is any hope for a December improvement or are things stagnating in the model 3 world. I hope this is a temporary thing.

At this point it's anyone's guess but someone from Panasonic said that the battery bottleneck would be resolved "soon".

Yep, I thought it was the CEO of Panasonic who mentioned a sharp increase in batteryproduction at the gigafactory "soon".

That’s encouraging.

That article in electrek was reprinting something the CEO said almost a month ago. I've been scanning for info; as far as I know they still have problems.... Also, Elon himself was talking March before they get this resolved.

March before they get to 5000 per week. Presumably there are some intermediate steps between 300 a month and 5000 a week.

Interesting, but I'm far more interested in how many they produced in the last week or 10 days instead.
345 could be spread all over the month (positive but not great) or a trickle of cars and then a much higher volume/day over the ending of the month.
Anxiously waiting as in 4 weeks we'll have the Q4 full numbers and I'm expecting at least around 2000 for the whole quarter, sharply concentrated in Dec production. Fingers crossed. Tesla wouldn't have opened the first round of non employee orders otherwise.

Or they want to be able to tell the world they started delivery of non-employees in 2017.

Yup. Send out a few invites so they can say they did. It's a PR/wall street play, realistically, otherwise we'd have seen more batches go out and there's no evidence to suggest they have.
