Model 3 delivery bonanza

From Inside EVs:

A trusted source that works at Tesla and requested to remain anonymous contacted InsideEVs with some inside information. Makes sense right? Anyhow, they shared that Tesla Service Center techs are being pulled from their usual duties over the next week or so to help with deliveries. Apparently, Tesla has readied some 7,000 Model 3 vehicles to be delivered just in the San Francisco Bay Area over the course of seven days. We hear that the specific goal is for the automaker to deliver 1,000 Model 3s each day for the last week of the month in the Bay Area alone.

Just one week.  Just one metropolitan area.  In the whole of August, for the whole US, Model 3 sales totalled 17,800.   Musk said that sales would more than double in September.  It now looks as if he'll achieve that goal.  Another reminder: in September last year, total Model 3 sales were a measly 115.

I've updated this chart to show what doubling Model 3 sales would look like.  Now that's an exponential growth chart!



I admit it:  I didn't think they'd be able to do it.  And I'm a Tesla fan.  Well, it's not official yet, true.  But it looks very likely.
