I 100% agree that I'd rather have him under promise and over deliver. It's just there comes a point when they need to be producing in volume. We can't be going through this quarter after quarter.Would you rather Elon over promise and under deliver or under promise and over deliver? I'm happy he's playing it rather conservative right now.
I have no faith left. Why would I?
I think people from the middle of the country out are way harder hit than CA people. CA first day people probably aren't hit that much at all. I think Q1 will pretty much cover all of us, even if they don't ramp that much further from 1k/wk.I feel like there's a part of the report that keeps getting overlooked in these comments.
"In addition to Q4 deliveries, about 2,520 Model S and X vehicles and 860 Model 3 vehicles were in transit to customers at the end of the quarter. These will be counted as deliveries in Q1 2018.
"Q4 production totaled 24,565 vehicles, of which 2,425 were Model 3." (Bolded text is my addition)
They are still behind where Elon stated the curve would be, but is it as far as some of the other posts are stating?
I will be returning my smart EV within 2 weeks, having extended its lease by 3 months. I'm hoping I will be driving my 3 by the end of February/beginning of March (where Troy's estimator currently has me).
These are great numbers from my perspective. I had concerns that Tesla would encounter serious production problems and not be able to ramp up production, especially after reports in Oct that certain parts were being made by hand. It makes me laugh when people expect Tesla to meet production dates and targets. They're called "targets" for a reason -- hitting the bulls-eye is great but sure seemed unlikely to me, especially given Tesla's track record.
Someone believed those dates? Tesla still says my Model 3 will be "late 2018" on my order page (current owner on west coast of Canada), but I read it as "mid 2019 at the earliest". This is Tesla folks, a new car company flying by the seat of its pants - and Elon's overly optimistic "man will live on mars soon" pants to boot. People who need certainty should certainly buy an Audi, which has been around since the 1930's, and doesn't BS us (well except that VW owns Audi and VW intentionally lied to regulators, and created firmware the intention of which was to trick them -- to poison us for more for profits and greed).
Seriously? You think Tesla could fold so you're waiting to buy? It's long past that, at least in my view. If you look at how Sirius flirted with bankruptcy after having so much (but much less than Tesla) invested, there's no doubt Tesla would be bought out long before it gets as close to bankruptcy as Sirius did. I was concerned about Tesla folding over 4 years ago when I ordered but I still did and I am sure glad I didn't wait and watch. Then again, I bought a lifetime sub and SIRI stock when it was near bankruptcy. Some things are just too good to fail, at least in my view.

Hat’s off to you. Good oneYou're not getting off that easily.

Ugh, I have no faith left in Elon's ability to deliver on deadlines. Hopefully he gets a human to Mars by 2100.
Most leasing companies are happy to extend your lease at the end for the same monthly amount. I've done this at least 4 times. Just call and ask. After all, they're getting a higher monthly payment from you than they'd have gotten had you originally done a longer lease, so it works out better for them to extend your lease for as long as you like. (Yes, your residual will get recalculated if that matters to you)my lease is up in may. So a further delay of a month or two is going to make it very difficult for me.
I really hope someone is making a documentary of this whole process - a behind the scenes that would show and explain these delays in detail.
I'm not worried about the numbers, in fact I think they look good, because model 3 is 18 months ahead of the schedule originally set by Elon (mid-2019). We will all be getting our cars soon, except those who are bailing for an inferior EV or ICE, and all the angst will soon be forgotten when we step into the FUTURE. Revolutions don't happen without a commitment to patience and perseverance.I 100% agree that I'd rather have him under promise and over deliver. It's just there comes a point when they need to be producing in volume. We can't be going through this quarter after quarter.
I wonder if delivery centers like MDR are just a CA thing, and most other places will just get delivered to the closest Tesla location.I think this is correct, especially considering the delivery centers they have already invested in here. It makes me really glad I took a few hours to go stand in line on 2016-03-31.
Some guy named Elon said he was.People were expecting more than 2,500 produced in the quarter?
