Tesla cuts Tesla 3 parts delivery 40% starting in December 2017.

According to a story that has broke on another site, it would appear that instead of taking delivery of enough parts per week to build 5,000 Tesla 3 cars per week in December, Tesla has cut that rate by 40% which indicates 3,000 per week by the end of Dec. This also has a ripple affect as it pushes out their delivery of reaching 10,000 Tesla 3 cars per week in the early part of 2018. They story goes on to say that Tesla will not start taking delivery of parts in 10,000 lot shipments till May or June at the earliest. This would indicate that If they are only building about 3,000 a week in the first half of 2018 ramping up to 10,000 by end of June for the rest of 2018, Tesla will deliver about 78,000 to 100,000 model 3 cars in the first 6 months of 2018 and then about 260,000 in the second half of 2018 hitting a possible 360,000 Tesla 3's for 2018 if no more issues happen and they resolve the battery building problems at the Giga Factory.
