Tesla vs Bolt production ramp up

Source: Tesla PR Disaster 10 Times As Good As Chevy Bolt Ramp Up | CleanTechnica

The whole world is talking about Tesla’s inability to produce cars, Elon Musk’s unrealistic timelines, and “broken promises.” But the facts are different:

Fact — 9 months after start of the assembly line, GM had produced about a 1,000 Bolts.

Fact — 9 months after start of the assembly line, Tesla had produced about 10,000 Model 3.

The hype and wild speculations are caused by the Tesla PR disaster in the communication around the Model 3 ramp up. It is a PR failure, because in the real world, the Model 3 ramp is as good or better than the Chevy Bolt ramp.
