    Tesla Considers Increasing Production Of The Model S

    This week, Tesla announced that it's considering boosting production of its Model S sedan to 30,000 units in response to a waiting list that stretches for 10-11 months.

    Tesla CEO Elon Musk said in a conference call with analysts that the company is expecting to sell 5,000 Model S sedans by the end of 2012, with 20,000 sales expected next year. That could increase to 30,000 with the addition of a second shift. Currently, Tesla has 12,200 reservations for the Model S sedan.

    "Our key objective for the rest of the year is to ramp production with a focus on quality and to rollout the Model S experience to a broader audience through customer deliveries, test drives and store openings," Tesla said in its second quarter 2012 shareholder letter.

    Yawn, a drop in the bucket for a car that is for the upper 1% category.

    I find it hard to get excited about this product line. If they were to report that their 300 mile range of electric technology was being licensed to GM and Ford than I would be the first to get up and dance!

    Wonder who will buy them up? I just got this gut feeling that they are doing minimal while they wait for a large company to come in and buy their technology and assembly line so they can get a profit back to the investors.

      Total loss including what they wrote off in their global operations around the world hit $28 billion, the largest ever. Course it does not help propping up old brands that were brought back but still cannot stand on their own like Alfa, Maserati, etc. The Italian brands just have never had quality nor been desired by the bulk of the world.

      I am all for the second amendment rights, I always protect my family, friends and neighbors first against someone who does intend violence. Yet based on the stupidity we have seen in the south with guns, I also feel one needs to have some common sense. Course my response was sarcastic which clearly failed to come across here, but I do remember these stupid folks who were out threatening as a peaceful protest walked by their house.

      It was mostly a black neighborhood when I lived in Atlanta 20 plus years ago so... I fully support gun ownership and the right to protect yourself. That includes me protecting myself from a hostile person, a hostile animal regardless of pet or wild, aliens, predators, zombies, whatever. Full stop.  I did two marathon events Saturday, a one hundred mile "century" bike ride with my wife (London Ohio, Xenia, Yellow Springs, Springfield, and then back) and then a 4 hour long Carpatho Russian Catholic service Saturday night. Was tired when I finally got to bed at 1 AM. Then worked Sunday.  I like this channel.

      I have had a bunch of them as rentals hauling debate students all over the country. Fantastic long distance cruiser, dismal product quality. Stellantis should not be assembling tacos or bicycles, much less automobiles.  At this point everything is so uninspiring visually and reliability wise that I am buying Toyota products until the next EV push comes. Not much inspiring me in the least in the current market.  They should have lost more.
