We're months away from a ramp-up in production on the Model 3 - a vehicle that has demonstrated dramatic commercial interest and received wide-spread extraordinary praise from early reviews [1][2] - and some posters in this thread seemingly are attempting to have a bogus debate over whether the Model 3 is even going to sell any vehicles at all.

This is simultaneously hilarious and absurd. It's as if we're back in 2010/2011 again and Tesla has yet to ship the Model S; except that's not the reality, the Model S succeeded and here we are anyway with some people attempting to pretend the Model 3 might just be quasi-vaporware and that there will be very little buyer interest and that Tesla can't mass produce electric vehicles (which they already do).
