Musk wrote to employees: We have become a real car company after reaching production targets

Beijing time, July 2 morning news, after Tesla reached its weekly production target of 5,000 Model 3s, the company's CEO Elon Musk sent an email to employees last Sunday to express his gratitude.

The company has been under pressure to reach a production target of 5,000 Model 3s per week by the end of June, after several delays. Despite many obstacles, Tesla finally reached a total production of 7,000 last week.

In the email, Musk thanked employees for their hard work and declared that the company had become "a real car company" in the process.

The following is the body of the email:

We did it! This is an incredible feat accomplished by an amazing team. I could not be more proud of your work. It’s an honor.

The level of dedication and creativity is mind-blowing. Our hard work and inventiveness come together to create new solutions that were previously thought unthinkable.

Intense work in the greenhouse. Transporting the entire production line around the world via large transport aircraft. We paid a lot. But no matter what, we succeeded in the end.

Not only did we hit 5,000 Model 3s per week, we also met our production targets for Model S and Model X, with a combined production of 7,000 per week.

In addition, as Tesla's overall productivity improves and new production lines accelerate, we expect to achieve a production rate of 6,000 Model 3s per week next month.

I think we've just become a real car company...

Thank you all for your hard work and dedication.
