“Q3 2018 was a truly historic quarter for Tesla,” the company said in today’s investor update letter. A grandiose line? Sure. Hyperbolic? Not that much. Tesla released production numbers for the quarter at the start of this month, which showed it delivered 52,239 Model 3s. Add in the Model S and X, and that's a record more than 80,000 vehicles delivered between July and September.

In addition to becoming the best-selling car by overall revenue, the Tesla Model 3 outsold entire luxury brands by car units (excluding vans and SUVs), such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi. Tesla plans to further increase demand by offering cheaper variants of the car all the way down to $35,000, as well as offering leases and expanding test drive opportunities. Moreover, as with Model S and Model X, enthusiastic owners will show their cars to family members and friends, in turn generating more orders.
