The doubt on Tesla is not whether the cars are great, it’s whether they can scale production. You need both to be a Model T.

People had the same questions about the Model X, the Model S before that, and even the Roadster before that. In every case, Tesla eventually was able to get production up and deliver. Tesla has no problem producing enough S and Xes.

The question is not "whether" but "when."

To be fair, Roadster production was never really "up". I'm not sure demand was at any point satisfied before the model was discontinued. Less than 2,500 were produced.

The question is, “can Tesla build a production pipeline before its ability to raise money ends?”

In other words “whether” and “when” aren’t different questions in this case.
