As Tesla just recently announced its all-time record Q3 deliveries of 139,300 units—and production of 145,036 units—the company will need to deliver roughly 182,000 units in Q4 to hit its 2020 target of half a million units.

Recently, we learned from a leaked email from Tesla CEO Elon Musk to all employees that the company has a chance to make over 500k units in a year for the very first time in the history. 

'It will be tough, but super exciting if we can exceed half a million cars made in a single year for the first time in Tesla history!"

As Musk mentioned, reaching this next-level production record won't be easy, but it's doable.

"When we started Tesla just over 16 years ago, I never thought we would get this far, but, thanks to your hard work and ingenuity, we actually have a chance of making half a million cars in a single year. Wow, that is so incredible!!"

"This all comes down to Q4. Please take whatever steps you can think of to improve output (while increasing quality)."
