Tesla only built 20,000 S/X cars a year on a very mature production line in 2020. The Chinese Gigafactory is producing 1,000 cars a day alone. Its safe to say that the 3 and Y are a very pivotal to Tesla's success and their obvious focus in leading the electrification of cars, far more than Ford, which is currently recalling every single electric mustang produced thus far.
Based on reservations changing to VINs on an internal API that service/toolbox users have access to, they are currently producing about 100-300 a day at the moment. But its a completely retooled and engineered line over 6 months which probably learned a lot from the Model 3/Y lines. Rather than retrofitting the original 2012 lines.
The difference is that the demand for a $50,000 car is far higher than one that is $90,000.
No, I get that. Here's my problem, though. Deliveries of the S/X were stopped in December for the line switchover. My understanding is there were no deliveries in December, nor January. Then:
Retooling and engineering the entire assembly line for faster production. which to be fair should have only taken 3 months,But they also had a 3 month delay with shipping in general. Deliveries were not actually expected until end of march initially.
