This. When the first Model X came off the line and it was full of quality issues, that was a rough time. When NYT wrote a tough piece on the early Model S, that was a tough time. When the early Model S caught on fire that was a rough time. This is definitely NOT even close to rough time. 2000 Model 3 per week is close to Model S numbers.

It surprises me that people think that making a budget car is easier than a luxury sedan. Make no mistake: successfully launching a budget vehicle is much harder than making a luxury vehicle.
