One of the bigger stories involving Tesla this year — aside from Elon Musk’s shenanigans on Twitter, of course — has centered on Model 3 production. Indeed, one of the reasons why Tesla’s ability to ramp up Model 3 production has drawn so much scrutiny over the past few months is because Musk has a bad habit of making ambitious promises regarding production that often go unfulfilled. If you recall, Musk initially promised that Model 3 production would reach 5,000 units per week by the end of 2017, a goal that Tesla didn’t come anywhere close to making.
Tesla eventually did reach its 5,000 unit/week milestone this summer, a good few months later than expected. During the company’s most recent quarter, the company noted that average Model 3 production checked in at 4,300 units per week. More specifically, Model 3 production during the last week of the September quarter checked in at 5,300 units.
