Musk’s focus on logistics at Tesla has given the company a wave of advantages, and he recently pointed to this detail during a Q&A.
,” with the development of the Model 3 falling short of production targets due to several challenges. Musk previously said logistical issues with Model 3 pre-production caused tons of stress and pain from about mid-2017 to mid-2019.
Upcoming challenges for the company’s next-generation platform are not unlike past troubles with production, as Musk points out. Stabilizing logistical details, especially with regard to the still-growing industry of battery cell production, will be key to delivering on an affordable, mass-market vehicle in the coming years, according to Musk.
“The rate of progress is the rate at which we are able to scale 10,000 logistics problems,” Musk added. “Most significant of those is the cell production. We actually deliberately try to overdo cell production or cell supply to have that exceed what is needed in vehicles, because if it goes below what is needed for vehicles, the factories stall.”
To be sure, organizing a wide web of component and mineral suppliers, having them manufacture the necessary parts, then planning timelines and delivery of parts, and then using these parts to produce cars at volume are no easy logistical problems to solve. Tesla’s past experience may make it more financially viable for the company, though, even as many startup electric vehicle manufacturers struggle to stay afloat amidst billions in losses.
