Tesla produced nearly 5,000 Model 3 electric sedans in the last week of June, Reuters reports, citing conversations with two Tesla workers and an internal email Musk sent out. Tesla did not immediately return a request for comment, but it confirmed the email's contents to Reuters.

The 5,000th Model 3 apparently rolled off the line around 5 a.m. Pacific on July 1. That's just a few hours short of Musk's self-imposed deadline of reaching this production rate by the end of the second quarter, June 30. At the same time, the company built an additional 2,000 Model S and Model X vehicles, bringing the company's total seven-day production to 7,000 vehicles, which Musk tweeted about earlier on Sunday.
