Good news for Tesla

Fresh drone footage from on top of the Tesla Factory in Fremont, obtained from a 'Redditor' darksoldier360 captured a parking lot filled with brand-new Model 3s. 

 This will come as a welcome relief to Tesla and their fans, following vast shortfalls in the company's Model 3 production figures to date.

  When Elon Musk launched the Model 3, he said that he expected to be building 20,000 units, monthly, by the end of the year. Yet, by mid-year the master plan had slid to a hope of producing 1,500 in September amid what Tesla called a 'production bottleneck'. The extent of said bottleneck was underlined when Tesla confirmed that they were only able to produce 260 Model 3s across the whole third quarter. A fraction of their September goal, let alone that big initial hope of 20,000 a month. However, as of December 14, the Model 3's production is at about 5,000 units per week, according to Taiwanese auto component maker Hota Industrial, Hota crafts the gears and axles for Tesla.  Nonetheless, this is a great late Christmas present for Tesla but also for the roughly half a million people worldwide that have pre-ordered the EV.
