I am honestly shocked by the Model 3 pre-orders.
I can't believe over 200k people put down a $1k deposit for a car sight unseen, that is 2 years away from the expected delivery date (late 2017), from a company that is notorious for production issues/delays. The Model X was delayed 18 months. Tesla made just over 50k cars last year, if they can successfully ramp production by over four times without issues and at the pre-order price I will be amazed. Don't get me wrong, I am sure it is a great car, but I think the hype and pre-orders could actually be hugely problematic for Tesla as a company.
I'm sure it will be a great car ... in 2018.
