Supercharger network update, continuing a strong close to the year

adding five new stations, one in the United Arab Emirates,

two in South Korea, and two in Canada, bringing the total count up to 1,116

supercharging locations.

To start things off today, we have a couple updates on model three, specifically with V Vins and supercharging information.

VIN numbers 2,8002 and 2,891 have both been assigned.

2,891 would be the highest vin so far.

Because those were just assigned,

I think that I'm expecting Q4 deliveries of Model 3

is not model three deliveries but rather model three rate of production which

Tesla said that they would share in that update.

In other Model 3 news, as we talked about on Wednesday, the first non-employee deliveries

are beginning.
