#2TLDR
All the Tesla 3 preorders arrived [1][2] in Switzerland in one month, putting the Tesla sales of usually one year (~1500) into one month, making it the "best-selling"[3] car in Switzerland ahead of Skoda and VW (for the month of March).
[1] one with a bit more knowledge than me can probably find the ship and the shipment.
[2] see comments on that article from users getting theirs with that shipment
[3] have probably been sold months earlier, better worded "most-delivered"

That is a super important piece of information to put this in perspective. Nice catch.

#5Any insight on whether this will make up for the falling Q1 sales in the US?

Not true.
The first Model 3 arrived in Switzerland in the 3rd week of February (2019-02-16). Tesla already sold 316 in February 2019 (+754% YoY).
How much of an exceptional month March will be for the year, we'll see after the April data is released. The number of preorders for Model 3 in Switzerland should be easily 1 order of magnitude higher than what they delivered in March.

This was the case in March, meaning it was within the Q1 release (and obviously didn't make up for the drop in the US). Actually, the long lead time to get shipments to Europe may be what caused a lot of the drop in the US - Q1 was the first chance for shipments to Europe after Tesla's Q4 was mostly focused on getting Model 3s out across the US. The "other Europe" region still hasn't gotten any shipments, as far as I'm aware.
Personally I'm of the view that there is no drop in demand for the cars, just Q4 last year demonstrated the massive backlog they had in orders. When (if?) $35,000 cars actually start shipping, we'll start to see what actual sustained demand looks like.

Your comment contains exact numbers why not also put the source where you found them?

I'm sure that's not your intention but please don't quote % numbers like this because it is extremely misleading and has zero indicative value. Going from selling one car to selling 100 is a 10000% increase. Is that a meaningful figure? No. All it does is inflate the percieved growth and makes the post look biased and suspect of having an agenda.
Values that are useful in such a context is the number of cars sold from other makers in the same segment or the growth of new models from other brands.
