I must say the news keeps getting better and better from Tesla these days.
As a pre-unveil reservation holder in Florida, my initial sentiment was to expect the car by Q2 2018 and be happy if it bumped up to Q1 2018.
From a tax credit perspective I was expecting $3,750 and would be happy with $7,500.
After the financial call, my outlook feels a lot more sunny. The possibility of getting the car in Q4 2017 is now floating out there and Q1 2018 now feels a lot more likely. That would most likely also mean the $7,500 tax credit is becoming more and more likely.
Using simple math (my own made up math that is), what if these are the production numbers in 2017 for Model 3:
For the week ending...
Again, disclaimer, my numbers are completely made up.
