Tesla has reshaped the automotive landscape around the world and irreversibly accelerated the shift from combustion engine vehicles to EVs, and the Model 3 has played a big part in its success. Launched in 2017 as the manufacturer’s most affordable model, it quickly soared in popularity and became a favorite around the world. It sold almost 150,000 units in its first year, then doubled the figure in 2019, quickly outpacing sales of the larger Model S and Model X combined.
