This has not been an easy year for Tesla and its Model 3

Production woes have delayed delivery of Tesla’s Model 3, its new entry-level vehicle. The car is aimed at bringing more consumers into the Tesla’s electric fold. Tens of thousands of customers have put down hefty deposits to reserve a Model 3 in the 2-plus years since order banks opened. The vast majority have yet to take delivery. The carmaker has faced several delays this year alone, including loss of staff and trouble at the factory.
