All the previous models and problems with them happened in small production volume luxury car segment. Luxury car customers tolerate more defects and it's economical to repair them quickly with good service. Model 3 is completely different animal. Learning from history does not help here. Model 3 is 'entry level luxury' similar to Audi A4 and BMW 3 Series. Tesla is very creative and innovative in every level, not just in their technology. Their financial innovation has finally reached it's limit with Model 3 and it's the breaking point. They can't afford large setbacks or partial delivery and gradual development over the years. They are running out of cheap money. Tesla is leveraged to the gills and there can't be another year or two until delivery or Musk loses the company and some other car maker or PE firm buys them cheap and finishes the product. I wouldn't be surprised if Tesla is GM or Toyota brand within next five years. https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2018-tesla-tracker/ https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2018-tesla-tracker/
