This seems like a pretty big/dangerous jump to make with little-to-no evidence.
>> In any case, Elon Musk's 20,000 Model 3 manufactured per month target for late 2017 is incredibly late (See: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/881757617416056832). A lot of Tesla bulls don't seem to care however and continue to throw money at the company.
I really hate that Musk publicly underestimates the amount of work and deadlines in this process. It's especially annoying for me because I've worked for people who publicly underestimate and it put way more ridiculous work on me and my coworkers.
That said, I also hate this "fraud-boy" FUD. I think Tesla could eventually pull this off. The ramp will obviously be slower than what Musk expects. I, like many bears, take what Elon says with a grain of salt. But cars are rolling off the production line. At this point, the Model 3 is now the best-selling EV in the US. (https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2018-tesla-tracker/). Tesla has proven itself with the Model S. People in general love the cars. Tesla will get there, and I think that's why bulls are holding.
