Hello and welcome to the Friday March 1st 2019 in addition of Tesla daily on

official Tesla podcast. My name is Rob

Maower first off apologies for the episode yesterday towards the end cutting out

and then entirely shutting off. That is an issue on my end and not your end. I

don't know why it's happening but for some reason

when I'm exporting the recording it seems to be corrupting parts of the file and most of

the time I'm not even able to get those back on my computer so I'm trying to

figure that out but please just bear with me in the meantime.

Trust me, it's way more frustrating to me than anybody else. I think what I was talking about when it started cutting out was a call that

Elon had either with media or investment analysts after the

model three updates yesterday.

On that call he did say cautiously that they are targeting to produce 350,000 to 500,000 model 3s and 70,000 to 100,000

model S and X for the year in 2019.

So that means that would put the guidance at 420,000 to 600,000 for the year.

That is much higher with a midpoint at 510,000

than the Q4 shareholder letter guidance was

at 360,000 to 400,000 vehicles

for the year midpoint at 380,000.

So previously when Elon had discussed 350,000 to 500,000 model 3s for the year on the conference

call, I thought at that time it didn't really make much sense given the guidance and how they laid out their production

plans for the year in the shareholder letter. I still don't really fully understand it to be honest but it does look

like Tesla has more aggressive production plans than they had previously laid out.
