I thought I should add that by New Year's they will have made 150 roadsters! I'm sure anyone who got Tesla's holiday e-mail already knows this, but... Quote: |
We are producing about 15 Roadsters per week and will have delivered nearly 150 Roadsters by the end of this year, but the century mark will likely go down as an important milestone in the company’s history. It signifies that Tesla is no longer just a Silicon Valley startup cranking out interesting prototypes – rather, we’re a legitimate production company and the newest member of the global automotive industry.
| exciting! They're sure ramping it up. Looks like that 30 a week figure for March doesn't seem so far-fetched after all!  | |

From their newsletter:
" Production Update We delivered about 150 Roadsters in 2008, and we plan to ramp up production from 15 per week to about 30 per week later this year."

Tesla also confirmed that they did hit the 150 deliveries in 2008
| So perhaps the newsletter could have said: "We delivered at least 150 Roadsters in 2008..."
Slightly less vague? | |

I know that 150 before the new year was their goal. The guys in the shop were working long hours and weekends to do that. But "about" could just as easily mean they fell a little short. It doesn't really matter, though. They've likely past 150 by now. | |

| Oh? I misread that. I figured that "confirmed" meant he called and asked them. | |

Tesla Motors, the San Carlos-based electric car manufacturer, said it delivered 150 vehicles to customers in 2008.
| So is the Sac Bee just sourcing and paraphrasing the same newsletter, or did someone confirm that Tesla actually delivered 150 in 2008? | |
