I remember Elon at one time claiming that model y demand will outstrip model 3, x, and s combined. It’s getting harder and harder to believe his claims

Well the Model Y has been on sale since March in the middle of a pandemic. The Model 3 has been on sale for 3 years.

I think we'll have a better view on Model Y demand in the coming year.

Wikipedia about Tesla Model Y on December 24th 2019: "The Tesla Model Y is an upcoming electric compact crossover utility vehicle (CUV) in development by Tesla, Inc.[1] It was unveiled in March 2019[2], with deliveries planned to begin in summer 2020.[3]"

They did manage to start production 3-4 months early. But certainly this time can't be indicative of the model's success?
