The article claims that the model 3 sales projections are optimistic, I disagree. The model 3 is a fully electric car for $ 35 000, my brother just bought a Camry recently for more than that.
An electric car with tesla quality at that price range is a game changer than can transition the average middle class American to electric. In fact, in my mind, the model 3 seems like the make or break model for tesla.
In my mind a lot of these doom and gloom articles about tesla started when goldman sachs and consumer reports downgraded Tesla stock. But the only reason for the downgrade was continued (and admittedly long) delays for the model 3. And while the delays have been long, when you're on the bleeding edge of tech doing something new, delays are a part of the process.
