Auto-industry CEOs virtually never admit that the new product that could make or break the company is “in production hell,” but that’s now obviously the case for the Tesla Model 3.
Deliveries last months totaled just 220 units, far below Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s July projection of 1,500 during September.

As always, our Twitter polls are far from scientific. Participants are self-selected, and our Twitter followers aren’t 100 percent the same as our readers, regular or casual.
Still, we’ve found that our polls often give an indication of where the average sentiment lies on any particular issue among those who regularly follow greener and plug-in electric cars.

Model 3 deliveries during the last three months of this year will likely provide further data on the question of whether Tesla’s gamble on eliminating the beta, or pre-production, testing phase for the Model 3 proved wise.
Industry analysts include both strong Tesla advocates and skeptics, but the success of the company likely depends directly on the success of the Model 3. This is your chance to weigh in.
