Per this latest story: Tesla Production Sites By Model Assignment, Capacity: October 2022 (insideevs.com) Based on the above numbers before any expansion that would need to be done at the plants per the story, Tesla at maximum capacity now would only be able to produce 1,900,000 or about 100,000 shy of @smk4565 statement of producing 2 million autos in 2023. The bigger issue is that Tesla Fit n Finish has gotten more attention and many Tesla fans are leaving Tesla due to the CEO and going with other companies EVs. Tesla will grow, but not as fast as I think some here believe. Especially without expanding existing plants which is not something they can do overnight. Perfect example is their German plant where each time they want to increase production and hours of operation they have to file a request with the local Government and that take 90 to 180 days. They cannot just flip a switch for increase production and they still have their other projects to deal with.
