“Closest we got was about a month. The Model 3 ramp was intense stress and pain to get quite a long time — out of mid-2017 into mid-2019. Production & logistics hell,” Musk replied.

Funnily enough, it was around April 1, 2018 if Musk shared an image online of him leaning against a Tesla carrying a cardboard sign reading “Bankwupt. ” He wrote on Twitter that “despite extreme efforts to raise money, such as a last-ditch mass sale of Easter Eggs, we are sad to report that Tesla has gone completely and totally shattered. Thus broke, you can’t believe it. ”

Elon was found passed out from a Tesla Model 3, then surrounded by”Teslaquilla” bottles, the paths of dried tears visible on his cheeks.

This isn’t a forward-looking statement, because, of course, what's the point?

Musk said that the car manufacturer would be able to finance its business requirements with present cash flow at the time and said that it had been raising money in the event of a downturn or weak global demand for vehicles.

Tesla has come a long way since its brush with insolvency. Not only is the Model 3 being made at the firm ’s primary assembly website in California but it’s also being generated at the Shanghai Gigafactory which could produce as much as 150,000 Model 3s annually.
