R2 VINs up to 503 (at least) now

[1T2022]

The cars look fantastic! Hope I can get it early.

If we use April 22's official saleable launch production start, it is about 25-30 a day so far for just the 1st shift currently running. I am sure they will ramp it up further and I believe a 2nd shift starts in the late summer/early fall.

Production ramps like this follow a logistics curve. Extrapolation at this point would be like basing your lifetime expected earnings on what your parents gave you for allowance.

That is how many weeks to make 500 trucks? 4-5 weeks? 125 a week, 20 weeks left in the year, 2,500 total production? My mathing seems wrong. Maybe the second shift can add another 3k by years end.

Well most to this point are employee vehicles, right? And they're still working out the bugs in the system so that as production increases they don't multiply problems they can sort out beforehand. I believe they said something like 20,000+ by the end of 2026? So your mathing isn't wrong, but your assumptions about production lines is not fully formed.

Having been a Materials Manager at for a manufacturing facility there are a lot of factors to consider. Production’s do typically ramp up however if QC finds something not correct they can actually stop a line. Second unless you manufacture all your parts in house you are in fact at the mercy of your vendors as supply chain in Clyde’s each vendor being able to get their parts. Third with what is going on right now it’s possible that their supply chains will have interruptions. Thus the amount they produce has a lot of factors to consider. Quality control has a lot of work to insure all sub components are correct. Especially the pc boards running the whole show and the wiring harnesses.

Sure, there are lots of things could go wrong, but this isn’t their first rodeo. Just fingers crossed the parts aren’t in a slow boat from Timbuktu.

Gotta say, were I to buy WHITE I would definitely put a PIN STRIPE at the hipline of the door skins, and rear quarter panel.. ;-)

Racing stripes are always in fashion

is it true that 94.44% of the R2s are going to SoCal, Aspen, and Austin leaving God's Country in the lurch?
