During the Conference Call of the Earnings Report of Q3 2013 on November 5th, 2013 (after 10 minutes) Elon Musk spoke about R&D investments for "volume production expansion for the Tesla Model S" and for "building out a real high volume next generation production line for the Tesla Model S and for the Tesla Model X".
The production capacity is going to rise enormously somewhere in 2014, when this "real high volume next generation production line" will be operational. Although the rise will be steadily, not instantly.
During the Conference Call of the Earnings Report of Q3 2013 on November 5th, 2013 (after 49 minutes) Elon Musk says: "The production of vehicles is not going to be a constraint, that's not a limiting factor."
So, ones the supply constraint issues are solved (mainly battery cells) and when this "real high volume next generation production line" will be operational, then they will be able to produce in much higher volumes.
And in December 2013 The California Alternative Energy and Advanced Transportation Financing Authority allowed Tesla Motors to purchase up to $415 million worth of manufacturing equipment without having to pay sales and use tax. Therefore Tesla Motors received a $34.7 million tax break.
In which month of 2014 will the "real high volume next generation production line" most likely be operational? And how much will the production capacity be at the end of 2014?
