You absolutely can't make this assumption (regarding the demand). We've discussed this before. Since Tesla updates site with iteration of 1 to 3 weeks, the information on the backlog is accurate only on the day the wait time changed from the previous prediction. With every passing day this prediction becomes inaccurate, and becomes accurate again on the day it is updated next time. Additionally, you have to consider wait time across all regions, as only this information gives a true information on the factory backlog and demand.
The last time US delivery was updated (to late June) was on 04/29/2015. Conservatively assuming that late June is the beginning of the third week in June, the wait time was 7 weeks for NA, and at least 11 weeks for the rest of the markets. Assuming about 50-50% split between NA and the rest of the market, the overall wait time was about 9 weeks.
Based on the updated wait time tables (I did them on Sunday, but did not have time to post), the wait time is more than 5 weeks for NA, and about 13 weeks for the rest of the markets. So the average now is
more than 9 weeks.
The other part of the equation, of course, is current production rate of the factory, which could be higher than what it was at the end of April.
Once again, you can't made conclusion on what demand looks like after the introduction of 70D. It seems that you are cherry picking data to fit your narrative.
Another thing that you seem to ignore is that Tesla did not ever mention that they have expectation of having MS demand higher than 50K/year. The other 50K/year is (quite conservatively) projected to be for MX. This producing total demand of 100K of MS/MX per year. One thing to note is that almost all of the analysts PT heavily discount this 100K/year in 2016. The only PT that considers 100K/year, as far as I know, is from Stifel - $400. The bottom line is that your implication that current SP "needs" demand higher that is currently observed, is really off the base. All of this, of-course, is even before we start talking about energy storage.
The sky is not falling...

Truly convincing and very specific line of argumentation
