Tesla model 3 is coming on line shortly and claims 20,000 a year in a year. But that isn't the news that affects us other than over 373,000 or already ordered and the more that are sold the less oil and that means yet cheaper cost for us. The news I thought that was interesting was the announcement of a new semi-truck that they are going to show off in September............. Does that mean other trucks soon? Electric ones that can pull campers?????? We will have to wait and see. Imagine if we embraced solar now as the Chinese are, how long would it take to have electricity for all these cars. What a concept that would be. Oh well will be a few years before we could reenter that main stream.

Good morning. Production is slated to be 200,000 in 2018 for Tesla. The ramp up though will continue thru this fall and the first quarter of next year. A significant percentage are right hand drive though and many others will be made for export to Europe and Asia, so different lights etc. Some speculate that only a third will be sold on this side of the pond and even some of those will be Canadian Spec. Some 2019 forecasts are for 280,000 covering the X the S and the 3. Things will probably be in flex until the gigafactory comes on line. Depending on your source there are varying numbers.
