Elon Musk said Tesla Inc.’s production in China, the world’s largest electric-car market, could reach a rate of 2,000 vehicles a week by the end of the year.

“It looks like we will reach volume production at the end of this year with at least more than 1,000 cars a week, maybe 2,000,” Musk said on an earnings conference call on Wednesday. “If it’s not then, it will be shortly thereafter.”
