Tesla co-founder and CEO Elon Musk sent a congratulatory email to employees after confirming that they have reached production goals for the Model 3, S, and X.
The email, obtained by CNBC, was sent on Sunday afternoon and had “7000” written in the subject line, which is a reference to the total number of vehicles that Tesla was able to produce in the previous week.
More importantly, Tesla finally hit the right buttons and they were able to reach its weekly goal of producing 5,000 Model 3 units. Tesla has been facing issues in delivering Model 3 vehicles and matching the number of ordered units with the ones being produced every week.
Meanwhile, Musk also happily confirmed that Tesla was able to complete its target units of Model S and X produced — 2,000 in total — in the same week.
“We did it!! What an incredible job by an amazing team. Couldn’t be more proud to work with you. It is an honor,” Musk’s email reads. “The level of dedication and creativity was mind-blowing. We either found a way or, by will and inventiveness, created entirely new solutions that were thought impossible.”
And even though Tesla has become a household name for developing electric cars and autopilot systems, Musk commented that they might have just become “a real car company” after reaching the said production milestones.
Musk is known for his daring approach in tech development, so it is also not surprising that he announced they are increasing their production goal for next month.
“What’s more, with the widespread productivity gains throughout Tesla and the new production lines spooling up, we are on track to reach 6k/week for Model 3 next month,” the Tesla CEO added in the email.
Before Musk’s email was shared, news of Tesla producing 5,000 Model 3 units in a week already made rounds online. An employee shared on Twitter a photo where employees are seen signing a “Model 3 5K Club,” which was likely their own way of celebrating the milestone. Though the original post has been taken down, a copy of the photo has been shared by several reports.
