Oh we don't need photos to know that the M3 is still handmade. But that is almost irrelevant to the price. Let's say you are an institution holding 1 million TSLA shares with an average purchase price of 250. Would you still hold it or call it a day and look for another company to invest in? When those guys start to lose faith, that is when the song ends...
5000 cars per week by year's end and 10,000/week in 2018 is not really "handmade". And thats what he promised and thats what the stock price is dreaming of. Imagine what the Street would do if it finds out those goals are not on track. ....I'd be counting cars at this point in the game.
But making 30 per month is. That is where they are at currently... No need to count cars, just divide by 4 whatever Elon promised.... The real big hit could be customer dissatisfaction with the M3, that can come much earlier than December when they obviously will miss the 5000/week dream. Once a few hundred cars are in drivers' hands, the real reviews will show up online. Older drivers who have money to buy the M3 but also needs glasses to drive will have a hard time to look sideways and read the screen with its display. I already can't read the speedo meter and it is right in front of me, now let me get more distracted by looking to the side....
So guess who beat Tesla to electric trucks?: https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/cummins-beats-tesla-punch-revealing-aeon-electric-semi-truck/
Hmph. Wonder where they're getting batteries from. I guess they really don't need THAT many, as compared to a mass production car.
