Tesla Q1 production numbers

News from yesterday - Tesla Q1 2017 Vehicle Production and Deliveries. Around 25 thousand vehicles, which is a quarterly record. That is roughly 279 vehicles a day, or in a 24 hour day, 11.63 vehicles an hour. Which does not really sound like a lot. To reach the 500 thousand target, or 125 thousand a quarter at full tilt, the company would have to produce 57 vehicles an hour, or around one a minute.

Added to that production number is that Tesla plan to start taking orders for their roof shingles, the captain of Tesla (Elon Musk) tweeted as much last week. Cheaper than a normal roof? It is the storage part that is "tricky", becoming cheaper and cheaper. Tesla is definitely on the move, investors are clearly split on the stock, it attracts an enormous amount of attention. I think the most important thing to remember is that the company is relatively new, and is like nothing you have ever seen before. And as such, it will be very tricky to predict what is likely to transpire from here. We own them at the fringes.
