Tesla (DSLA) has been making every effort to increase production of the Model 3 and Model Y, and a crazy record quarter to deliver new cars domestically quickly.
On Friday night, Elon Musk reported this to Tesla staff. “Very importantTo increase production at the end of the quarter.
With only three more weeks left in the quarter, the increase in production does not appear to have had a major impact on deliveries this quarter, which Tesla is expected to make by its largest by a wide margin.
However, Electrek I learned that Tesla has already reached its target for Model S and Model X deliveries this quarter, and now it is focusing on increasing production of the Models 3 and Model Y. Who is well acquainted with the matter.
As we announced earlier, Tesla is currently in the middle of its final year delivery drive as it aims to deliver a record number of vehicles this quarter to reach 500,000 deliveries by 2020.
The automaker is expected to deliver more than 181,000 vehicles this quarter to achieve this goal. It has more than 40,000 vehicles than its last quarter delivery record.
In order to increase this volume, Tesla has extended the period of export from the Fremont plant to other markets in the later quarter, and is now calculating a rapid production curve to deliver more new vehicles in California and other regions. Short traffic hours at the end of the quarter.
In California, Tesla unveiled the new, 500 1,500 EV, which was unveiled last month.
When Tesla releases its Q4 production and distribution numbers, we know whether the strategy has paid off in the first week of January.

The end of Tesla’s quarters will always be very crazy, but it seems like it could be a madness.
I was in Tesla Laval, Canada on Saturday to help a friend deliver a new Model 3. We were there for a few hours and truck loads of new Tesla vehicles were constantly being delivered.
This is a new location for Tesla and it is huge.
Inside are two platforms that hold hundreds of cars, and a large parking lot can hold even more cars:
According to one of the Tesla vendors, for the rest of the quarter, they fill up every day, deliver everything, and start all over again the next day.
They had planned to make uninterrupted deliveries from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. for the last few weeks of the quarter.
All the vehicles that Tesla will sell in Quebec by the end of the quarter are already in production, but in California, it will be crazy because Tesla is going to try to turn around new cars quickly.
Tesla would be nice to achieve his goal, but as long as it doesn’t come with quality issues, this is an issue with Tesla.
For those who take delivery, I recommend that you take your time and thoroughly inspect your new car, even if the Tesla delivery centers are busy and they try to move you quickly.
For example, in my friend’s new model 3 we found several important paint defects. Fortunately, Tesla was able to quickly deliver them to the service center on the same day as the delivery center.
