How can they hit that # though? People are already getting January delivery dates.
Remember that they crucified the guy who coined that phrase....Just 5 words to say to those that doubt Tesla's resolve: "Oh, ye of little faith" .

January delivery dates? I haven't seen that posted yet. That is a disappointment. I am at P#3820, right on the 5k bubble considering the sigs.
When the 500 vehicle target was given for the third quarter, it made it obvious that delivering 5,000 by the end of the year is unrealistic, and undesirable.
As a stockholder and as a Model S buyer, I wouldn't want production ramp-up to proceed that quickly. What I want to see is a gradual, careful ramp-up with lots of quality control in place. Quality, not quantity, is what's needed during this ramp-up period.
Elon described the ramp as an S-curve during the last conference call with the vertical part of that S happening in early Q4. Those of you that are using the current ramp or Q3 numbers to estimate Q4 deliveries are using completely meaningless information to draw your conclusions.
Elon certainly seems to strike fear into the hearts of his employees when it comes to achieving goals and meeting (exceeding) expectations.
When I asked a Tesla employee if they really think they can still hit the 5000 car mark this year, he said "Elon will fire all of us" if we don't reach our target.
I hope they are continuing to build cars but are stockpiling them while they resolve third party vendor issues. We have only heard about a couple of Sigs being delivered to end customers, so unless they are continuing to manufacture Model S cars for their own internal use, where are the cars that are being produced today going??
Nice bell curve so far … I just called to confirm my S1092 for October delivery and it was confirmed (However, at the time I was added to the sig list they said September was a good possibility … not any more!).
