Bummed about the backpedaling again on guidance, but that's just because I have calls expiring in March and June. I have been drinking way too much koolaid I guess. So, the 5,000/week production was originally pushed back from end of Q4 2017 to end of Q1 2018, and that was given with a high degree of confidence as of 2 months ago. Now it has been pushed back another 3 months to the end of Q2 2018, presumably again with a high degree of confidence. What the heck happened over the last couple of months to change the guidance? My question is, is end of Q2 finally realistic for 5,000/week? Or, is that still optimistic? I believed in the guidance when they said there was confidence in 5,000/week by end of Q1. Well, that was pretty wrong, wasn't it? How is one to truly filter guidance from Tesla? My guess is that no matter what is said, just always assume it is extremely optimistic guidance. This would apply to the latest ramp guidance as well it would seem. Is it more likely then that 5,000/week will come by Sep. 2018? Do others familiar with Tesla guidance think 5,000/week by June 2018 is very likely at this point? Or, is it still optimistic as per the track record? I'm gaining more respect for Adam Jonas' forecasts regarding Tesla.
