Some articles reported the Model 3 delays were about the Fremont car assembly plant, but this hints at the Gigafactory being the bottleneck. If both are stuck/dead it's gonna smell bad. I wish Musk finds the help needed to at least "land" the project as smooth as his rockets.

In the investors call last week Tesla stated that the problem is at the Gigafactory with battery production.

Here's a link to a summary of conference call: https://www.reddit.com/r/RealTesla/comments/7ao4m0/conferenc...

That forum is quite anti-Tesla (as opposed to /r/teslamotors). The whole Tesla thing is quite controversial - lots of haters, lots of fanboys.

Best advice I can give you: Read what both sides have to say and weigh the arguments. Then just stick with the truth you've always believed in - it's what everyone does in 2017 ;-)

I just read the story of William Browder (putin's nonfriend) that's indeed what I ended up doing.

Thanks a lot for the report, I guess I misinterpreted what article said about which factory the problems were happening.

You're not wrong about that - there were news reports that Tesla was having serious issues with their car assembly line too (not least that parts of it weren't even there yet, and the parts that were there weren't working properly and would likely be hell to fix due to Tesla skipping a bunch of the normal steps in having such equipment designed and manufactured).

I've read that article, Musk choose to rush things to "save time" at the risk of "not saving time".
