Did you ever compare Elon Musk to Steve Jobs? Maybe you were not far off. Lines for the new Tesla 3 Model went around the block yesterday, as if it was the newest and long awaited  iPhone. Elon’s Twitter message tells the whole story. Not much more to say.

Thought it would slow way down today, but Model 3 order count is now at 198k. Recommend ordering soon, as the wait time is growing rapidly.
