Yeah those delivery dates are pretty suspect if they don’t even have the factory built yet.

I know all the Musk fanboys think he is a miracle worker but construction doesn’t happen overnight.

I wouldn’t buy a Tesla because:

-Parts availability is terrible especially for collision damage. You can’t just order a part, have to go through the Mothership and start a support case just to get a part.
-Tesla controls your vehicle and can shut off features as they see fit. Salvage cars have had supercharging shut off by Tesla.
-Very expensive to insure and repair and easy to total in collision damage.

The trucks will come out of Fremont initially on the same line that makes the Model X. So production will be constrained for a while, but not halted.

The new factory will supplement Fremont production years from now. I think Musk is not keen on expanding production in California. Supposedly they are looking hard at Tulsa and Austin. I suspect Las Vegas is also in the hunt.

The new factory will be the first ground up Tesla production facility in the US. Their current plant is an old Toyota/General Motors shared facility that was closed in 2009.
