63,000人取消了特斯拉Model 3订单

在召开的季度业绩电话会议上，特斯拉CEO埃隆·马斯克表示，去年有63,000人取消了Model 3订单。

据《Business Insider》报道，马斯克称该款汽车的总订单数量从518,000辆减少到455,000辆。但订单减少并未对特斯拉造成太大影响：最近，该电动汽车公司每天的Model 3预订量接近1,800辆。

Business Insider的报道称，马斯克说可以轻松增加Model 3预订量，但这种做法对公司没有好处。

马斯克说道：“这就像是一家卖汉堡的餐厅，客户等待汉堡的时间已经达到了一个半小时，这种情况下，你真得想鼓励更多人订购更多汉堡吗？”

《Business Insider》报道称，公司将首批30辆Model S交给了员工，并将在今年秋天开始向客户交货。

早些时候，马斯克表示在摆脱“生产地狱”后，他将生产一款速度更快的Model S。他还表示，特斯拉极有可能在2018年年中，开始生产高性能版Model 3。（财富中文网）

During a quarterly earnings call, Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that about 63,000 people have canceled their Tesla Model 3 orders over the past year.

Total orders for the vehicle have fallen from 518,000 to 455,000, Musk said, according to Business Insider. But the drop in orders doesn't hurt Tesla too much: The electric-car company has averaged about 1,800 new Model 3 reservations per day recently.

Musk added that he could increase Model 3 reservations with little effort, Business Insider reports, but noted that this move wouldn't serve the company well.

"It's like if you're a restaurant and you're serving hamburgers and there's like an hour-and-a-half wait for hamburgers — do you really want to encourage more people to order more hamburgers," Musk said.

The first 30 Model S cars were given to employees, according to Business Insider, and customer deliveries will commence this fall.

Musk said that he will produce a faster Model S after he has escaped "production hell." He added that Tesla will most likely begin production of the performance Model 3 in mid-2018.
