It is also interesting to note that the Model 3 has also become the top-selling premium mid-size sedan. It also overcame German competition established with conventional combustion engines, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Audi A4 and BMW 3 Series.
For this success, Tesla also owes the fact that Model 3 has virtually no competition. Although electric cars are gaining popularity, most automakers retain SUVs rather than current trends. The nearest competitor will probably be the recently introduced Polestar 2, but it will only be launched in 2020.
