Hello and welcome to the Monday April 23rd 2018 edition of Tesla Daily on

official Tesla Podcast.

My name is Rob Maower.

Today we are talking about Q1 deliveries.

I know it's been a while since those have happened,

but I haven't shared my thoughts yet,

so I thought I could do that today.

Quick Podcast update.

The goal for this week is to get five episodes out.

Hopefully I can make that happen and work to get back on that normal cadence.

This is an evening episode for me, so I do have today's stock performance and Tesla on the day finished

down 2.37% to $283.37, this compared to the NASDAQ down 0.25%.

All right, so looking at Q1 delivery and production numbers, obviously at this point everybody has seen those numbers.

However, I will just recap it quickly

and then share some of my thoughts.

Q1 production in total was 34,490 vehicles.

This was comprised of 24,728 model SNX and 9,766 model 3s. In total, that was a 40% increase sequentially from Q4.

For some added context that 34,500 production number on the quarter

is actually just slightly under what Tesla produced

in the entirety of 2014.

That year they did about 35,000 in production.

I think it's pretty cool to look at the growth that way
