#RbPi #9 (10/2018): Tesla Finally Crashing the Mainstream Gates ?!?

There's been lots and lots of Tesla in the news lately, but mostly the wrong stories. Not that story content was wrong; it's just that the mass media - as MSM never fail to do - went after the wrong stories.

The really big Tesla news are this. Some of you remember the insanely steep Model 3 production ramp Tesla had originally promised? Reaching 5k/week by the end of 2017 as shown above?

Well, it is finally happening, big time. About 9 months late and quite a few dollars shorter than planned, but last month Tesla delivered >22000 Model 3’s in the US — more than Toyota Corollas! And demand is still super-brisk, and Tesla has plenty of $$ to keep going.

So... has Tesla started selling EVs to the masses? Not quite... which makes the Model 3's feat of breaking into the US Top 20 selling vehicles list (see here and here), and moving swiftly up the ranks every month — all the more impressive.  

But what does all this means for the EV revolution, and for us who want to resist this Fossil Regime? "Too early to tell" sounds about right. Follow me to learn more.

       #RbPi (#RESIST-by-Plugging-in) diaries expand awareness that:

When the government is run by oil interests and global-warming deniers, switching to a Plug-in vehicle (a.k.a. electric car or EV) becomes a direct, effective act of #Resistance. On the merits, EVs are viable and increasingly attractive in many segments of the US new and used auto market.

If you are serious about resisting, have a car, and you haven’t plugged in yet, I hope to help you and your community move ahead in the inevitable path to electrification, sooner rather than later. #Resist.
