BMW passenger car lineup lags behind Tesla Model 3 sales in August

I am curious, is Tesla making a profit at this volume of sales or not. I did notice that the Atlanta delivery center was packed from end to end with model 3s in August but there were a few deliveries of S and X models as well. I am sure it is eating into those sales. I will also be curious if the standard range model will be available in numbers before the decked out version is sold in oversea markets.

personal experience follows.

I took delivery of my 3 on the 29th after ordering the 5th of August. I had no reservation nor was I a previous owner. The car was built in August though according to the VIN trackers the number was issued in July.

Overall quality is really good with only a few paint blemishes that were buffed out. Very slight alignment issue with the frunk but you have to look. Now I will admit this car has seriously changed my mind with regards to car interiors, I doubt I could ever go back to a traditional interior as they would feel cluttered. My previous car was a 2017 Chevrolet Volt and it sold me on driving EV.

Misleading title. It only lags behind in the US market.

I wonder if the Model 3 having a backlog of 100s of thousands of orders due to production delays has anything to do with it?

It's even worse for Mercedes, isn't it?
