SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – Tesla nearly produced 5,000 model 3 electric sedans in the last week of its second quarter, and the last car left the assembly line on Sunday morning, several hours after it was over. Midnight deadline by its CEO, Elon Musk, told Reuters two factory workers.
The 5,000th car has completed the last quality checks in the Factory in Fremont, California, around 5:00 pm local time (1200 GMT), said one person. It was not clear if Tesla could maintain this level of production for a longer period.
Musk said the company had hit its target of 5,000 model 3 vehicles in a week, according to an email sent to employees Sunday afternoon and seen by Reuters. Tesla also expects to produce 6,000 model 3 sedans a week "next month".
"I think we have become a real car company," writes Musk. The company has passed model 3 and has also achieved its goal of producing 7,000 Model S and Model X vehicles in one week, Musk said in his email.
Tesla confirmed the contents of the email.
