Yeah Still having troubles with the assembly line.

Also -

"Tesla: The Model 3 At 5,000/Week Is Not Enough For Profitability"

"So, as a starting point for what I am about to describe, I am going to use Marginal Analysis’ work, as described in his article titled “Tesla's Q1 Revenue Beat Driven Largely By Accounting Changes, Model 3 Currently Loses $8K Per Unit”. The datum from that article which concerns us is:

The Model 3 produced ~$68 million in negative gross profit during Q1 2018."

Yeah, pity you can't google.

"Tesla has temporarily suspended manufacturing of its Model 3 electric car for the second time in two months, despite long waiting lists and a series of missed targets.

A spokesperson for the company said the assembly line at its plant in Fremont, California, and its Gigafactory in Nevada had been paused in order to “improve automation”. Tesla employees told BuzzFeed News that the shutdown came into effect “without warning” on Monday and would last for four or five days. "

That's a much better position to be in than declining sales as in Ford and Holden's case. Why didn't they think of building the equivalent of the Tesla Model 3 ? They could have done this a decade ago.

So you have proof of this? Or is it just another one of your assertions?

I guess the one about the assembly line is false too. Grin

Yes try reading and understanding what u post Lee, it’s speculation, no info from Tesla...... you believe this crap yet if it’s AGW even the best source without actual evidence you fight against.

How did they get that it’s costing Tesla 8 k for every model3 made Wink

So you don't have proof it is "shorters". Grin

And of course therefore they don't know because only Musk knows, none of the board members etc. Wink

So tell me what is the proof of this Catastrophic AGW . You know increased extremes events etc. Wink

NB: Climate Models are not proof.

You don't think analysts have a good idea of business costs?

Of course we can wait till the end of Quarter3. Musk has said Tesla will be profitable by then.

Of course you are free to believe as you will. I can't force you to believe anything.
