Yes, that statement stuck out to me as well.
And now, a break from the earnings countdown. WSJ has a video entitled, 'Three Continents and Hours and Hours of Charging. The electric vehicle road test".
Eight reporters try out different brand EVs on different continents. Their experiences: commuting around town mostly fine. Long-distance travel: range anxiety, having to turn off features (heat, A/C) to reach destination, lack of charging stations, broken or in-use public charging stations. *Finally* mention Tesla Superchargers having a better experience, but then they focus on one reporter in a Model 3 encountering a full station and then waiting for an hour to charge fully. This is in the Northeast where Superchargers are abundant. And the reporter obviously did not know how to minimize charging time in a Tesla (stop often, keep battery in the bottom of capacity to maximize charge rate).
Claims video is first of a series. If I have time, maybe it's possible to contact the editorial staff. Maybe others here can do so.
And now back to your
regularly scheduled programming...
Yes, that's the implication. Whether that paying customer is at arms length or a Tesla employee is another question...
315 miles on the web site. And $52,990!Would they lie on an earnings report?
"Increased Model Y all-wheel drive EPA range to 315 miles from 280 miles"
Model 3 first release candidate seen end of March 2017 (tweeted out by Musk). Basically 4 months from production start.
Based on Model Y sightings so far, I feel like we are in early April 2017 for amount of sightings.
If we assume similar time to production, then yes that would be January / February.
Since Tesla is always improving, maybe it's even faster
Why would anyone think it is a slower ramp to production than the Model 3?
Yes, I am basing this on what is observed, not what Elon says.
Note Elon also B.S.ed the idea that the Model Y was going to be built at GF1. And downplayed Model Y at its own reveal. And has already sandbagged the timeline.
There is no evidence that production will start later than Q1
I still expect Model Y timeline to be pulled up even further. Remember initially Model 3 was expected to take 6 months to ramp to 5000 / week "volume production".
Volume production in summer means production start in Q1. Now maybe they store them for a few months. But I expect Q4 earnings to be "oh BTW production is starting now"

After they're done covering of course.I noticed the financials slides were all marked "Unaudited". Expect the shorts to run with that.
I see it on top of slide 4 as 22.5% in 4Q19. Down from 22.8% in 3Q19.Did anyone calculate the margins on the cars? They used to publish them in the report but I can’t find them in the new setup.
