Tesla Model 3 production appears to have surpassed the 6k/week mark
Less than a week after crossing the 100,000-vehicle mark in new Model 3 VIN registrations, Tesla has seemingly achieved yet another milestone in its efforts to ramp the production of the electric sedan. After more than a year filled with bottlenecks, missed deadlines, and intense “burst production” weeks, Tesla appears to have achieved a production rate of more than 6,000 vehicles per week.
The updated estimates for Tesla’s Model 3 production are reflected in Bloomberg‘s online tracker, which uses data from official US government resources, social media reports, and direct communication from Tesla owners themselves. The publication’s tracker has gotten more accurate over the past few months, to the point where its Q2 estimates were only off by around 2% from Tesla’s actual figures.
Bloomberg‘s tracker has been showing a steady upward trend in terms of the Model 3’s production since August started. When Tesla registered its 100,000th VIN for the Model 3, the publication’s tracker estimated the company’s weekly production rate for the electric car to be at around 5,800 per week. These figures were updated today, with the production tracker now showing an estimated weekly production rate of 6,278 Model 3 per week.
Tesla’s seemingly improving Model 3 ramp was the product of a long year filled with trials and tribulations for the company and its CEO. Elon Musk recently noted in an interview that the past 12 months, much of which was spent ramping the production of the Model 3, had been one of the most difficult and painful years of his career. Nevertheless, Tesla’s production ramp for the Model 3 appears to have reached a breakthrough sometime in July, following the “burst production week” implemented in the final week of June that enabled the company to produce 5,000 Model 3 per week for the first time.
During the first weeks of Q3, Tesla exhibited signs that the Model 3’s production was moving at a healthy pace. More than 19,000 new VINs were registered during the first half of July, vehicle delivery systems were optimized, and hiring was also ramped. Musk mentioned the vehicle’s improving production figures during the Q2 2018 earnings call as well, when he stated that Tesla was able to sustain a weekly production rate of 5,000 Model 3 during “multiple weeks” in July.
It should be noted that while manufacturing 6,000 Model 3 per week is a notable feat for Tesla, the vehicle’s production ramp is only a bit more than halfway done. Tesla intends to produce as many as 10,000 Model 3 per week sometime next year, which would enable the company to saturate both the United States and other territories with the electric car. Despite being only halfway complete, the production ramp of the Model 3 is already starting to be felt by the US auto industry. In July alone, the Model 3 was able to outsell the Chevy Bolt EV — arguably its most formidable competitor today — 12:1. The Model 3 was also listed at No. 7 in GoodCarBadCar‘s list of America’s Top 20 Best Selling Cars, which included gas-powered vehicles like the Toyota Camry and the Honda Civic.

Tesla gets its best analysis from Morgan Stanley as ‘it’s all about to change’
He maintained its ‘Overweight’ rating and the $410 price target Morgan Stanley had on the stock.

Tesla has gotten perhaps its best analysis from Morgan Stanley in quite some time, as the Wall Street firm claims that “it’s all about to change.”
That phrase could be used for both the company’s status and the world in general.
Analyst Adam Jonas said in a new note on Thursday to investors that Tesla could be one of the major winners in terms of the global transition from what it is now to what it will be.
He describes the global shift that will occur over the next few years:
“Have you interacted with a robot today? Have you even seen a robot today? No? Well, take a mental picture because it’s all about to change. When we meet someone who has never been in a Waymo or a Tesla Cybercab (which is most people), we frequently see a wince and a response such as ‘I’m not sure I’d feel comfortable getting in a car without a driver.’ We imagine going back in time to 1903 and asking people if they’d feel comfortable in an airplane.’”
The same technological revolutions that have occurred over the past 150 years will continue to occur again and again. We are on the verge of another, Jonas believes, as companies like Tesla are working on artificial intelligence tech, which includes changing the way we look at things like transportation and labor.
Jonas includes an interesting tidbit in his note about how humanoid robots could change wages, and how it could work into the advantage of Tesla, especially as it is developing its own Optimus robot:
“We estimate 1 humanoid robot at $5/hour can do the work of 2 humans at $25/hour, generating an NPV of approximately $200k/humanoid. 1 robot shaped car can potentially drive down cost/mile of a ride share vehicle to <$0.20 mile (1/10th human-driven ride-share).”
Jonas sees Tesla as a key player in how AI will impact things like manufacturing and various automotive industries, and he believes there is long-term potential for AI, robomobility, and even autonomous eVTOL platforms.

Tesla stock gets crazy prediction from CEO Elon Musk
Musk says this is what it would take to be a millionaire from a Tesla investment right now.

Tesla stock (NASDAQ: TSLA) got a crazy prediction from CEO Elon Musk recently, as the future of the company seems to be moving more toward AI, autonomy, and robotics, and away from automotive, which is what it has traditionally been recognized as.
Over the past few years, as Tesla has prioritized its Full Self-Driving suite, its rollout of a dedicated Robotaxi program, and the development of the Optimus bot, the company has gained a new reputation from analysts.
It was always looked at as a stock with tremendous potential by many Wall Street firms, some more than others.
The most bullish analysts, like Cathie Wood of ARK Invest, believe the company will eventually reach a multi-trillion-dollar valuation and a share price of over $2,000. Her $2,600 price target does not include any contributions of Optimus. Instead, it leans on Full Self-Driving and Robotaxi.
Based on where the company is now, there are a lot of potential catalysts. The Robotaxi expansion, as well as affordable vehicles, its prowess in AI and Robotics, and its powerful energy division are all arguments for investment.
One X user said that a $150,000 investment in Tesla right now would likely make you a millionaire. Musk said he thinks that sentiment is “probably correct.”
I think this is probably correct

He’s echoed this belief in recent earnings calls, including the one for Q2, which happened in July:
“I do think if Tesla continues to execute well with vehicle autonomy and humanoid robot autonomy, it will be the most valuable company in the world. A lot of execution between here and there. It doesn’t just happen. Provided we execute very well, I think Tesla has a shot at being the most valuable company in the world. Obviously, I am extremely optimistic about the future of the company.”
Tesla is trading at $316.50 at the time of writing, and has a market cap of just under $1 trillion.

Tesla stock gets another analysis from Jim Cramer, and investors will like it
“Tesla is morphing right now. It’s in transition from being a car company to being a technology company.”

Tesla stock (NASDAQ: TSLA) got its latest analysis from Jim Cramer, and investors will like what he has to say.
Cramer has flip-flopped his thoughts on Tesla shares many times over the years. One time, he said CEO Elon Musk was a genius; the next, he said Ford stock was a better play. He’s always changing his tune.
However, Cramer’s most recent analysis is of a bullish tone, as he talks about the company’s evolution from an automaker to a tech powerhouse. He made the comments on CNBC’s Mad Money:
“Tesla is morphing right now. It’s in transition from being a car company to being a technology company. You wanna be in there because the tech is worth a lot more than what it’s selling for right now. Don’t care where you bought it, care where it’s going to.”

Tesla has always been looked at by the mainstream media as an automaker. While that is its main business currently, Tesla has always had other divisions: Energy, Solar, Charging, AI, and Robotics. Some came after others, but the important point is that Tesla has not been an automaker exclusively for a decade.
It launched Powerwall and Powerpack in April 2015, marking the start of Tesla Energy.
But Cramer has a point here: Tesla is truly becoming much more than a car company, and it is turning into an AI and overall tech company more than ever before. Eventually, it will be recognized as such, more so than it will be as an automotive company.
Cramer’s comments also follow a recent prediction by Musk, who stated on X that he believes a $150,000 investment in Tesla shares right now would eventually turn someone into a millionaire:
I think this is probably correct

Musk has said he believes Tesla could be headed to a serious increase in valuation. Eventually, it could become the most valuable company in the world. He said this during the Q2 Earnings Call:
“I do think if Tesla continues to execute well with vehicle autonomy and humanoid robot autonomy, it will be the most valuable company in the world. A lot of execution between here and there. It doesn’t just happen. Provided we execute very well, I think Tesla has a shot at being the most valuable company in the world. Obviously, I am extremely optimistic about the future of the company.”
