Doing the maths...17 Oct 2020 10:57
I’m still waiting for someone to tell me how quickly I can get a DBX delivered next year so I can ‘guesstimate’ how many they’ve sold so far. The first one came off the production line a week into July so let’s assume they started building them in anger at the beginning of that month.
Full production capability is 5,000 units per year but their original forecast was 4,000 units for 2021. So full capacity is around 415 units per month but to get to 4,000 it’s 333 per month. I would think they are probably making around 350 per month at the most right now so I’m going to assume that’s the current rate.
Somebody confined on here yesterday that their AM dealership stated a March build date so let’s assume that’s mid March. Mid March is 8.5 months after production started so 8.5 X 350 = 2,975 units built and therefore sold, although some of those will be demo cars that will get sold in the end anyway.
I guess by the time we get to Nov 12 that number might have grown to around 3,500 sold cars (fingers crossed maybe more) which, considering the target for 2021 is 4,000 in total, is pretty damn good!
Not sure what that does to the SP but I think it would be a pretty positive start!
