It's Tesla's first step.

Just as SpaceX first showed that they could launch a payload to orbit, then showed that they could do it repeatedly; just as they first showed that they could land a booster, then showed they could do so dependably; just as they showed they could reuse a booster, then showed that they could do this rapidly and reliably.

First Tesla showed that they could meet their 5000 cars per week goal, now they have to show that they can do so repeatedly. I have a hunch that they'll do it.

They haven't shown that yet. They've shown that they can push 5000 cars out of the factory gates.

Pushing a car out of the factory gates is not equivalent to assembling a car.

It would be fair if they would provide accurate weekly production numbers for the last 6 consecutive weeks. Maybe the pattern was: 3000, 2000, 1000, 1000, 3000, 7000... Which is quite different than pattern: 3000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000...
