Elon Musk tweeted a slow-motion video of the Tesla Model 3 assembly line

Tesla last week showed that it produced just 260 Model 3s during that period, falling far short of its goal to crank out 1,500 of the cars in September. Tesla blamed the shortfall on "production bottlenecks."
Watch the Model 3 assembly line video below:
"Although the vast majority of manufacturing subsystems at both our California car plant and our Nevada Gigafactory are able to operate at a high rate, a handful have taken longer to activate than expected," the company said in a statement on Monday. The shortfall has also cast doubt on Tesla's ability to produce the 20,000 Model 3s per month that it said it would reach by December.
News of the Model 3 production challenges likely won't rattle Tesla investors or its customers, Business Insider's Matt DeBord noted on Saturday, adding that Tesla stock is still up 65% in 2017 and the brand has lost none of its captivating aura. And the video perhaps proves that despite the hiccups, Tesla has lost none of its mojo.
