    Autoline After Hours #394 had a claim that the Model 3 production line is not setup. Rumors, wishful thinking, any facts and data?

    Elon refuted that rumor by showing the assembly line going. Claims they have never hand made parts for the Model 3.

    They are still behind their targets. Then again, they are still ahead of what most Tesla realists thought they would actually start delivering them.

    is it possible to only make one car a day on an assembly line?

    30 cars sold for the month doesn't mean the production line was up and running for 30 days. It also doesn't account for the cars that were built and won't be sold.

    I wonder if Dodge continuously belched fake news that Ford was going under.

    good series on motorcycle companies in the early years. hbo maybe? they killed each other in the press and backstabbed whenever they got the chance.
    there were fewer laws governing trade, and it was a take no prisoners world to get ahead.
