Tesla 101: Tesla has generally preferred to deliver things well, even if that means not according to some nominal or even wishful schedule that was arbitrarily extracted from the air.In other news ... Musk declares October to be part of 3Q, to avoid missing another delivery promise ...
such has been proven in its track record of:
- The first EV available for public sale by an American company in over a century
- starting the first new car company in the USA in over a century
- The first auto company IPO in half a century
- The first C&D Car of the Year with 100% unanimous decision
- Multiple performance records for mass-produced cars (acceleration, pikes-peak, etc)
- Safest car tested by multiple agencies (NTSA, etc)
- Highest margin on a car
- The first (CT) and second (Model 3) most pre-sales for a consumer product (and an expensive one as well)
- The best selling car and vehicle in multiple markets for several quarters
. . . all of which were delivered late (except the Model 3) but, clearly, other than a few people who can only understand simple numbers, nobody cares except trolls desperately trolling for something bad to say.
