After publishing a few articles about Tesla, I planned to take a break. However, Elon Musk sent an email to the company today announcing that Model 3’s weekly production capacity has reached 2,000 units. This news has been confirmed by Tesla employees.
Here’s a screenshot:
Below is the text version:
It has been extremely difficult to pass the 2000 vehicles per week rate for Model 3, but we are finally there. If things go as planned today, we will comfortably exceed that number over a seven day period!
Moreover, the whole Tesla production system is now on a firm foundation for that output, which means we should be able to exceed a combined Model S, X and 3 production rate of 4000 vehicles per week and climbing rapidly. This is already double the pace of 2017! By the end of this year, I believe we will be producing vehicles at least four times faster than last year.
It took five years to reach the 2000/week production rate for S and X combined, but only nine months to achieve that output with Model 3. Mind-blowing progress!
Couldn’t be more proud to work with you,
ElonThe goal of producing over 2000 Model 3 cars per week every week is incredibly difficult, but we have finally managed to achieve it. If everything goes as planned today, we will easily exceed this number within seven days!
Furthermore, the entire Tesla production system has now laid a solid foundation for this week’s production plan, which means we are capable of producing over 4000 Model S, Model X, and Model 3 cars per week, and rapidly increasing. This is twice as much as in 2017! By the end of this year, I believe our production speed will be at least four times faster than last year.
It took us five years to achieve the capacity of producing 2000 Model S and Model X cars per week, but we only took nine months to achieve it with the Model 3. This is an encouraging progress!
Proud to work with you.
Elon
