500,000 pre-orders is a nice number but really considering numbers other manufacturers are selling Worldwide it's just a tiny "drop in the bucket".
And that's assuming Tesla can deliver, and deliver with quality, assuming they show long term reliability and attract repeat buyers.
Here are
worldwide sales numbers for 2016.
Tesla has a lead in tech for now, but others have lead in everything else. Cash, experience in designing, producing and testing vehicle, established manufacturing and sales network, more resources. I think it's matter of time before they catch up, and I hope they do so fast. We will all benefit by having better and less expensive products competing for our money.
