It would be a stretch to expect Tesla to outgrow these numbers.

I also expect total amounts of cars produced in the world to decline at some point,

as Tesla Network and other car share companies get a bigger foothold.

This will make it a lot easier for people to not buy their own cars.

So first of all I just want to clarify something from yesterday. The numbers that I was discussing
