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.

If that YoY figure is for Model 3s in Switzerland, then you really can't quote it as a figure with any statistical honesty. A year from first delivery hasn't even elapsed yet.

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

How is it definitely "not true" if your position is to just wait and see until April ? And not sure why YoY numbers are important given that it's a cheaper car being sold here. Of course it's going to be higher. Problem of course is a lot less margin.

Anecdata from someone living in a small Swiss village (c. 1,500 residents outside the ski season): - I see a handful of Teslas around the village. I would guesstimate 5 local residents own them. - The local taxi firm has a couple even. - Filling stations on the autoroutes have the charging points (at least in Romandy) - The country is small so, hey, it seems ideal I'd like to get one but it doesn't fit my use case (n…

Whats is the all in final cost for a Tesla 3 that you guys are paying in Switzerland? Im guessing its at least a double of a promised $35K USA price?
