I wonder when the public is going to stop sucking on Elon's dick. The guy is just an outright liar:
Here are the actual delivery numbers, if we can believe that these are all new cars:
1Q15 = 10,030
2Q15 = 11,507
3Q15 = 11,580
Now here is what Elon's guidance was:
"26,843 cars in 4Q? That's what it would take to meet Elon's original claims made repeatedly through 2014.
21,843 cars in 4Q? That's what it would take to meet Elon's formal guidance given at the presentation of 2014 results in February, 2015 -- just 6 months ago.
16,843 in 4Q? That's what it would take to meet the lowest point of the guidance they gave on August 5, 2015 -- that's just 57 days ago, folks."
He is obviously just pulling those numbers out of his ass. The truth is that there is really no demand for more than 45-50K Teslas at that price per year. So there will be no run up of production because the company is DEMAND constrained.... (as opposed to the lie of production constrained)
