Tesla Ready To Expand In Europe With 14,000 Orders Already On The Books

All eyes are on Tesla’s upcoming Model 3 expansion in Europe and we’ve now learnt that the company received almost 14,000 Model 3 orders from reservation holders, according to a report.

It can be difficult to track Tesla’s orders.

For a while, we could keep tallies of reservations, but the company moved away from sequential reservation and order numbers.

Now it looks like Tesla is using sequential order numbers again with the European Model 3 orders.

Those are orders, not reservations. 3 full weeks worth of production. China will be at least that as well, and they are only selling the Performance and Long Range AWD variants overseas. Will be a high margin quarter.

As usual haters are missing the real story here. This is an American car company shipping 14,000 cars (plus whatever they can sell for the rest of 2019) to EUROPE. When has an American car firm EVER had this kind of success shipping cars made in the USA to Europe? This is why the Agents posted this article. It is a very, very BIG deal.

A report from Elon's mother doesn't cut it.

To put this in perspective, Toyota sold over 10 million cars last year.

It is the rate of growth that matters.

Not correct. Clearly you don't run a business.

If your competition is selling 100 widgets and your company sold 1 last year and 2 this year, yes you have a 100% growth in volume, but you're still totally insignificant.

What matters is your volume versus the volume of the front runner.

And once VAG, BMW, Mercedes really come on line with products starting this year Tesla in Europe can be a "flash in the pan".
