How Many Tesla Model 3 Cars Have Been Made?

They need to hit their immediate goal of 2,500/week by end of Q1 - see the last chart on that page. They didn't move this goal in the Q4 earnings call, which was surprising - but if this tracker is accurate the production curve seems to be on track.

They are also planning to bring in a fully automated assembly line being shipped from Europe, in March. Assuming nothing goes wrong there it is supposed to accelerate production even more.

> assuming nothing goes wrong

Yeah, hopefully they didn't make that assumption... Can't imagine debugging a whole assembly line (even a virtual one in a game like factorio is hell at the beginning)

Except this one was already build and tested in Germany iirc. It should be debugged and taken apart into modular pieces and sent to Tesla. I assume installing these modules should be easier than debugging an assembly line in factorio ;)

Don't underestimate the innate human ability to fuck up what appears to be a simple job :). There will be delays and deviation from a best case schedule.
