They've made 1000 so far. They plan to make 1500 a month at full line speed. There's 4 months left in this year.

1000 + (4 x 1500) == 7000 cars

It's not really that much of a suprise. Production is going as planned, it's jsut had set backs in getting to full line speed. It's a completely new architecture, it's of course going to have teething issues.

I won't be a happy camper if I don't get a car after waiting all this time.

Right, this is how things are always with a new car, it takes time to fill that initial demand.
