Tesla’s Production Party: 5,000 Models 3 & 7,000 Cars in One Week!
In what feels more like a celebration than a corporate meeting, Tesla’s team hit a major flag‑pole this week. According to a message sent by CEO Elon Musk, the company guided 5,000 Model 3 sedans through the last week of its second quarter, finally smashing a goal that had been hovering just above the horizon for months.
“We did it!” – Elon’s Sunday Email
Elon’s note, it appears, was less a memo and more a triumphant shout‑out. The tone is all high‑energy and gratitude, sprinkled with a dose of unabashed boastfulness.
- “What an incredible job by an amazing team.”
- “Couldn’t be more proud to work with you.”
- “The level of dedication and creativity was mind‑blowing.”
- “We either found a way or, by will and inventiveness, created entirely new solutions that were thought impossible.”
- “Intense in tents. Transporting entire production lines across the world in massive cargo planes. Whatever. It worked.”
What’s even more exciting? Beyond the 5,000‑plus Model 3s, Tesla hit a combined 7,000‑vehicle week for Models S & X. And that’s not all—just a month or so away, Musk says the company is aimed at 6,000 Model 3s per week.
Credit Where Credit Is Due
In a tone that feels like a pep‑talk, Musk writes, “I think we just become a real car company…” It’s a nod to the company’s evolution from grit‑and‑gear garage beginnings to the sleek, high‑speed titan it is today.
Behind the Numbers
While the headline figures are impressive, the real story is about innovation in motion. Whether it’s moving production lines worldwide in large cargo planes or inventing new ways to keep production humming, Tesla’s teams kept their feet on the accelerator.
There’s a hint of humor as well—Elon’s casual mention of “intense in tents” seems to bring a laugh in a room where pizzas and hard hats normally dominate. It reminds us that while Tesla is pushing the boundaries of tech, it’s still a human crew working hard together.
