Yeah, but the big difference is you are not Elon Musk
Neither did you promise 10000 in the first month.
These silly realities don't apply to him; that's why his company is worth mega billions
His guess was to produce 100k-200k Model 3 in second half of 2017 alone, and all the analysts slurped that plan up with glee
Then, he toned down a bit, came down to 1630 Model 3 in Q3
Then, down to 1500 as in the Q2 share holder letter. There were never any "bottlenecks" that Elon saw even 2 months ago.
Now we know that the actual number was a mere 230 M3s in Q3 .
Here is what I said before, and stand firm. Tesla has ZERO incentive to increase Model 3 production till full Fed tax credits are still there. They will like to use the full credit to sell the higher priced Model S instead. When Tesla first said that there is no "signature Model 3", I guess many thought, that means whoever stood in line are going to get their cars first. But that's not going to happen either. Long range M3s will probably get partial fed tax credit.
At the same time, Tesla sales is calling up M3 reservation holders, telling them lies that the fed tax credit is expiring in Q3 of 2017.
One of my friends got scammed by this trick. But they have money. I suspect Tesla ran a credit check without permission to find out that they are the kind of people who can afford a Model S. By the time Tesla finishes pulling in all these people, there won't be many M3 buyers left.
