Tesla is pushing back its production timeline for the Model 3 and says it's "difficult to predict" when the bottlenecks will end. While it doesn't know exactly when it'll get on its planned manufacturing schedule, the automaker plans to be producing 5,000 Model 3 vehicles per week by the end of Q1 2018.
It originally wanted to reach that production rate by this December, so it's up to three months behind schedule.
These production delays were originally highlighted when Tesla made 260 Model 3 sedans in Q3 despite wanting to make 1,500 just in September.
While we continue to make significant progress each week in fixing Model 3 bottlenecks, the nature of manufacturing challenges during a ramp such as this makes it difficult to predict exactly how long it will take for all bottlenecks to be cleared or when new ones will appear,- Tesla
