And one year later, released today: "In July 2018, Model 3 not only had the #1 market share position in its segment in the US, it outsold all other mid-sized premium sedans combined. The Wall Street Journal called it a “thrilling, modern marvel” and a vehicle that is “magnificent, a spaceship, so obviously representative of the next step in the history of automobiles. The Model 3 is more than futuristic. It’s optimistic. This is what ordinary cars should be, which is to say, better than they are.” Motor Trend said: “In maybe 120 wheel revolutions, a high-performance hierarchy has been rattled. The European marques perennially atop the sport sedan podium are about to have trapdoors release beneath them….[T]he dual motor and all-wheel drive give the compact Tesla a tensed, hair-trigger potency for leaping ahead or around whatever’s in the way. It’s pure jungle cat.” The performance version accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds, which puts it into supercar territory." (from Q2 update letter). Beaming with pride for Tesla. Elon and the team are speaking live now.
