A funny side note here: when I got a brand new VW car of my company I had to pick it up from the dealer with mostly no gasoline left.
Yeah, those were the good ol’ days

Prepare for a lot of shorts on CNBC today. Remember, CNBC 'guests' are not actually guests - they pay to be there. Shorts who have a heavy position will be willing to pay a high price to get on CNBC to spew their lies today. CNBC couldn't care less if anything they say is true or not - as long as they pay.
Case in point: here we have Gabe Hoffman, a longtime Tesla short, saying things that make absolutely no sense (cars leaving the factory half produced? What?!?). The CNBC host, Martin Soong, is incredibly uncomfortable - knowing this makes zero sense, but he can't say anything because Gabe has paid and therefore he can say whatever he wants no matter how ridiculous and will not be challenged under any circumstance.

Tesla Model 3 = #21 Best Selling Car In USA. #15 In May? #6 In June Or July? | CleanTechnica
Referring back to this chart of April's sales... I know the numbers have all changed since then, but for July, the Model 3 could be the number-four-selling car in the USA, displacing the Honda Accord. Maybe even the #3 selling car in the USA, displacing the Toyota Corolla!!! <gulps>
UPDATE: I found some May 2018 figures on www.goodcarbadcar.net. Looks like the Model 3 might scrape in at position #7 for June, and position #5 for July. Still... wow!!!
MAY 2018 USA CAR SALES
1 Honda Civic 34,349
2 Toyota Camry 29,965
3 Toyota Corolla 29,578

While his overall thesis is nonsense, I find it plausible that 5K cars “factory gated” does indeed mean Model 3s produced from raw materials for the week AND 3s that had largely been produced prior to last week, but received some final work to put them in ready to ship status by the end of last week. If this is the case, for the big picture it means nothing, but re the very short-term “market action,” this (and some accompanying efforts to attempt to paint Elon as slippery/untrustworthy) might get some traction as something of a brief downward vector on the share price among some strong upward vectors this week. Doesn’t change the reality that current ongoing events are core good old days in Tesla’s emergence : ).
Limits on automated or semi-automated machinery are usually not set at the whimsy of the process designers. Do you know the rationale for that restriction?Why would you ever think that?
More FUD. Desperation: Read the 'fine print' of Elon Musk's email, says investor
So this guy is claiming that "factory gated" means partially produced, not necessarily finished. They're grasping at straws now...
