Tesla has struggled to ramp up production for the Model 3 since its launch in July. The company has repeatedly missed production goals for the vehicle, but during Tesla's annual shareholder meeting on June 5, Musk said it was on track to hit its goal of making 5,000 Model 3s a week by the end of the month.

On Friday, Musksaid in an emailto employees that the factory was capable of making 500 Model 3s a day and that some parts of the production line could make about 700 a day, though he said that "radical improvements" were needed in parts of the production line.

Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
