such a great milestone! I hope they hit 10 million one by 2030! We need more companies like Tesla in this world.
The one thing I don't get is that everybody assumes there is unlimited demand for Tesla cars, Tesla just needs to be able to produce. But realistically, let's assume that in 1-2 years government subsidies will end then how many people will still want an EV for a price tag of minimum 30k & can afford it? All that Tesla produces are cars for the premium segment despite some mass market rhetoric.
I was one of the many folks who (probably like you?) was thinking, once summer 2018 turned into fall 2018, and Tesla worked through the backlog of Model 3 orders (and the well-publicized cancellations and demand for deposits back) that there wouldn't by much demand left. I guess that shows my blind spots as a car person, I just assumed everyone knew about most new vehicles on the market, and what they had to offer. But their prevalence in the market has only driven demand harder.
