#55 had it's first trip to Skyline Blvd. today. It was raining and it's my first 100 miles so caution was the watch word. But I've never had so much fun. What a wonderful car!

Does anyone know if they are still at the production rate of 20 cars a week or have they ramped up some from that? Weren't they supposed to be up to about 40/week at the beginning of the year ? Are they still on schedule for that ramp up ? or have they ramped up slowly in the mean time ?

They have never been at 20 per week. The most recent numbers I've heard from Tesla are 12 per week in November, ramping up to 15 per week in December, 20 per week in February and 30 per week by spring.

Projects about future production rates are by nature quite speculative, since production rate increases require that every single vendor increase their production in lock-step with everyone else. Also any glitches in the process can potentially delay both individual cars and the output rate.

It's a tricky business making cars, especially a totally new design like the Roadster.

The last number they threw out was 15, they never said 20.

Just thought I'd mention that Think finally seems to be ramping up their production. They are currently at 10 a day, but will slowly move to 44 a day which is the factory limit. Dealers says you can actually buy one and drive away with it right now supposedly!
