LEAKED! Email From Tesla's Elon Musk Is The Q3 Hope Investors Needed — Are YOU Buying It?

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that the company ‘has a shot’ at delivering 100,000 cars this quarter, which would be a new record, according to a leaked email to employees obtained by Electrek.

Last quarter, Tesla smashed its global delivery record, with over 95,000 electric cars delivered during the quarter.

Over the last few weeks, we have been speculating that Tesla could be aiming to beat the record with 100,000 deliveries this quarter...

...In an email sent to employees and obtained by Electrek today, Elon Musk said that the record is within reach:

“We have a shot at achieving our first 100,000 vehicle delivery quarter, which is an incredibly exciting milestone for our company!”

"Delivered" means "theoretical number pushed out to dealers".

How can you get voted down for stating a simple fact? Bizarre!! I think we may have fact bigots around here! Maybe there is an alternative fact universe that these people live in. A universe where Tesla does have dealers all over the country, big signs, lots full of gleaming new cars that nobody is buying.

Oh and did you all see Tesla Model 3 earned a top safety pick + from the IIHS. Do you think this simple statement of fact will get me some down votes?

“You lose money on every sale. How do you make up the losses?”
“Volume.”
A very old joke.Or Musk’s business model. (In the latter case, why be profitable when you can get people to lend you money? Paying debts is for the little people. Our betters can accumulate and carry debt forever.)

Tesla desperately needs to ditch Musk and Tesla desperately needs to ink a deal with a larger manufacturer. It simply cannot last indefinitely as a stand-alone car company.
