Tesla is seriously trying to establish itself as a premium car maker. They are already special because of the focus only on making EV’s which have not only a breathtaking design but also some serious power under the hood. The only problem for them so far was the lack of ability to manufacture their vehicles in huge numbers.
This all is about to change with the introduction of Tesla Model 3. So far they have Tesla Model X and Tesla Model S on the market. With Model 3 they will have an established lineup that can stand toe to toe with any other car manufacturer out there.
