October 4, 20178 yr Tesla delivers only 220 during the Quarter due to Bottlenecks Tesla says it is on track to deliver 100,000 S & X models by the end of the year and have Model 3 production up to 5000 units per month. Yet with that, they have also stated that due to bottlenecks on the assembly line, they are behind in building and delivering Tesla 3 to the public. I found the comment by another reader on the story of their quarterly report to be very spot on. To quote JSH who posted the following: "It seems that skipping basic steps in the tooling and manufacturing development process didn't pan out. It turns out that automotive manufacturers do know a bit more about making cars than a tech start up. This shocks no one except the fan-boys." Tesla Quarterly Report by Autoblog

Thru September, S & X production has only been 34,650, and that's after some sort of firesale that saw both models post huge leaps in Sept. Even if Tesla equalled Sept's numbers for the next 3 months, it would only sell 58,350 S & X's for the year.

I also found the figure to be interesting as I was wondering what type of funky math Tesla was playing.
