Tesla: Current Issues

Tesla announced the delay for “Model 3” production, again.

Since March 2016, half a million people have preordered the vehicle.

In February 2017, the company said it would be able to produce 5,000 vehicles a week, but in November Musk called it a “production hell” and pushed back productivity until the end of March 2018.

In January 2018, the goal post moved again, until the end of June.

In March of this year, people received emails stating that the company was adjusting their “Model 3” delivery to a later window of late 2018 or early 2019.

Not delivering orders is not a great way to build a loyal customer base.
