Just a few weeks ago, for example, Musk noted via a blogpost that Tesla is currently on track to have a record-setting quarter, "building and delivering more than twice as many cars as we did last quarter."

What's more, a thorough review of the Model 3 by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reveals that Tesla's mass market EV is among one of the safest cars on the road. Even more impressive, Tesla's Model 3 earned 5 stars across every tested category, including frontal crash, side crash, and rollover. All the same, the fact that the Model 3 earned such rave safety reviews shouldn't come as much of a surprise given the glowing safety reviews that both the Model S and Model X received in the wake of their release.
