Of course, the big question mark hovering over the company now is whether or not they can actually handle that level of production. While it’s undoubtedly encouraging that hundreds of thousands of consumers are eager to purchase the Model 3, its possible that interest may wane if some deliveries are pushed back until 2020.

Yeah, we know it’s a sleek car with fast acceleration, but many other important features remain a bit murky to say the least. For instance, when Musk first introduced the Model 3, he insinuated that Supercharging would be free.
