Well this is a lie lol. They are doing at least 5k cars a week.

Yes, his numbers are way off, but

> Large scale ramp-up of Model 3 has slowed down to crawl,

is 100% correct. They hit 5000 cars per week in Q3'18 and then their ramp flatlined. They remain stuck there with only 5,821 made last week.[1]

How is going up almost 20% slowing down to a crawl?

Sounds like their just nearing capacity. Did you expect them to just grow forever from the same factory?

Sorry. I made mistake with units. The ramp-up seems to have stopped though.
