SK8T3R215 10/02/17 5:09:08 PM #1:	Tesla Inc. badly missed its goal of building 1,500 Model 3 car in the third quarter, the first sign that the production ramp-up for the new sedan isn't going as smoothly as planned. The Silicon Valley electric-car maker built 260 of the Model 3s between July and September, the company said Monday in a statement. In August, the auto maker predicted it would build more than 1,500 Model 3s before cranking up production to 5,000 a week by the end of the fourth quarter. The Model 3, which starts at about $35,000, represents Chief Executive Elon Musk's bet that he can transform the luxury auto maker into a more mainstream player around the world. Tesla blamed "production bottlenecks" for the weaker production. "It is important to emphasize that there are no fundamental issues with the Model 3 production or supply chain," Tesla said in a statement. "We understand what needs to be fixed and we are confident of addressing the manufacturing bottleneck issues in the near-term." When Mr. Musk touted the new cars in a July celebration, he warned the first six months of production could be "manufacturing hell" as the Fremont factory learns how to build the new vehicle. https://www.wsj.com/articles/tesla-misses-model-3-production-goals-1506976496 --- New York Knicks, New York Jets, New York Yankees. <cite>SK8T3R215 posted [p:887684251] in Tesla badl...

No they have consistently missed production goals which is concerning for a company that really needs a good rollout of the Model 3 to fulfill orders and stay in front of other car companies who are planning to produce electric cars. This is not a good start since they want a big increase in the future. --- New York Knicks, New York Jets, New York Yankees. <cite>SK8T3R215 posted [p:887686323] in Tesla badl...
