A week ago Tesla has produced 550 standard range Model 3s and I read today that several of those have already found their way to their owners.
Tesla is building and delivering their promised $35,000 Model 3 right now.

But the naysayers will never learn from getting proven wrong. They just shift their targets for Tesla to miss, continuously, unstoppable. They never learn.

Tesla keeps achieving those targets regardless, maybe after a delay, but they get there.

When everyone said EVs would never have a useful range Tesla promised and did build an EV with a reasonable range (the Roadster).
They could never build that luxury Model S car - but they did.
The Model X was way too complex - but Tesla pulled it off.
A mass produced reasonably priced midsize EV - unthinkable. Hello Model 3.

Now Tesla says they are going to make a million Model Y's a year.
Do not bet against it. They will.

A $25,000 car was expected to be revealed within 3 years. By that time Tesla should be building a wide range of cars totaling several millions a year.
A subcompact $20,000 with a reasonable range should be possible by then or soon afterwards.
