https://cleantechnica.com/files/2018/08/Tesla-Model-3-sales-August-2018-1-768x555.png First of all, before getting to a slightly modified July sales chart, I’ll briefly mention the sources. The most bullish sign came yesterday from a couple of analysts who claimed Tesla is on track to reaching a Model 3 production rate of 8,000 cars/week. I actually think there was some confusion somewhere along the way and Tesla is actually on the verge of reaching 8,000 cars per week of all models (Model 3, Model S, and Model X), or ~6,000 units of the Model 3. Maybe I’m just being too cautious, but I think what’s more likely is a misunderstanding or mistake in communication regarding Model 3 production. The analysts who brought us this news, by the way, were Evercore ISI analysts George Galliers and Arndt Ellinghorst. Another analyst, Ben Kallo, also indicated this week that his firm, Robert W. Baird & Co., recently had investors out at the Fremont factory and they estimate that Tesla is now producing “over 5,000 cars” a week. Kallo wasn’t actually clear there if he meant all Tesla vehicles or just Tesla Model 3s, but given the context and his overall conclusions, it appears he meant over 5,000 Model 3s per week. Those statements line up quite well with the Bloomberg Model 3 tracker, which has estimated a weekly production rate over 5,000 during most of August and is now forecasting that Tesla will nearly hit 6,000 in the coming week. With those notes out of the way, I think we can safely estimate >20,000 Model 3s will produced in August, and possibly 22,000 or so. The 5th best selling car in the United States in July was the Nissan Sentra at 19,362 deliveries. If Tesla manages to deliver 20,000+ Model 3s, that will likely put it in the #5 spot. If the Nissan Sentra does end up a bit above the Model 3, Tesla’s premier mass-market car is almost certainly going to land in the #6 spot.

I've actually seen a few Model 3s in the Tallahassee, FL area, which is kind of a shock because it's a smaller city and there is nothing but country surrounding it. So I'm really happy to see it catch on.
I've seen quite a few in the Greater Toronto Area, it's encouraging.
They are everywhere here in Fort Lauderdale and Miami area, its bizarre. Not surprised to see Tesla reaching up the charts now
I see Tesla's just about as often as any other luxury brand here in Houston.
