Elon Musk says Tesla will sell 5 million cars by 2030 — math says otherwise

Tesla's CEO Elon Musk predicts the company will sell 5 million cars by 2030, but math suggests this is unlikely given the company's current production rates. Musk stated the goal on the company's earnings call, claiming they have a 'good shot' of achieving it. However, to reach 5 million vehicles per year by 2030, Tesla would need to increase its production rate by a significant margin.
