Production and Delivery
This has been a very tough quarter, primarily due to supply chain and production challenges in China, so we need to rally hard to recover! I'd like to congratulate the Fremont team for achieving a new all-time record production day last week and Berlin for making almost 1000 cars last week! This is great stuff. Shanghai is returning to full strength and Austin is spooling up. Onward to victory! Elon
