Tesla Inc's
high-volume Model 3 sedan passed all regulatory requirements for production two
weeks ahead of schedule, Chief Executive Elon Musk tweeted on
Sunday night.
"(Model
3) Production grows exponentially, so Aug should be 100 cars and Sept above
1500," Musk said on Twitter. "Looks like we can reach 20,000 Model 3
cars per month in Dec."
Musk said in
May Tesla was on track to begin production of the $35,000 Model 3 in July.
Tesla
expects to produce over 5,000 Model 3s per week by the end of this year and
10,000 vehicles per week "at some point in 2018".
Reuters
reported in February that the electric carmaker had shut down production at its
California assembly plant for a week for production of the Model 3 sedan, in
order to meet its target of starting production in July.
