Bloomberg has been estimating the production rate of Tesla by obtaining VIN numbers by various means. It said the production rate was estimated to be 1,000 cars/week, much less than the 2,500 goal they tried to reach.
A recent article said they have "production hell" because of early and over reliance on robots, including the final assembly phase which traditional car makers tried and failed.
See: Tesla: Robots are killing it - Business Insider
That jibes with an unconfirmed report earlier that they had to remove parts to undo many cars, causing further delay and ruining parts. The extensive use of robots is typical of Musk, hence the story is believable. He likes to take risks, and has been able to pull it off so far.
This is surely interesting to watch.
