Tesla Model 3
Tesla said on Wednesday that production of its Model 3 small electric car would be delayed by about three months. The company said its goal of producing 5,000 Model 3s a week would likely occur at the end of March, rather than the end of November.
In Tesla’s Q3 earnings report yesterday, Tesla said: “While we continue to make significant progress each week in fixing Model 3 bottlenecks, the nature of manufacturing challenges during a ramp such as this makes it difficult to predict exactly how long it will take for all bottlenecks to be cleared or when new ones will appear.”
This represents a critical change in expected output, because just a few months ago, Elon Musk, Tesla’s chief executive, said, “What people should absolutely have zero concern about—and I mean zero—is that Tesla will achieve a 10,000 unit production week by the end of next year.” Musk is longer providing a target date for the 10,000-a-week milestone.
