Has anybody got this email from Tesla? I have not got it, just wondering if anyone else has? Full story here..Tesla confirms ‘increasing its production plans to minimize the wait for Model 3’
 
I wonder to whom the email was sent. Maybe to people who registered with Tesla that they have interest in the Model 3 but didn't yet place a reservation? The wording at the end is encouraging the reader to place a reservation.

EDIT: lol nevermind. I just got the email, and I reserved in-store on 3/31

In the first 24 hours Model 3 received over 180,000 reservations, setting the record for the highest single-day sales of any product of any kind ever in world history.

They must be counting all of the reservations as sales (Elon expected an ASP of $42k, that would be $7.5b in "Sales". Of course it will take several years to deliver those sales. iPhone 6s sold 13 million in one day, the latest number I could find for its average selling price is $690, so that's nearly $9b of sales in a day that was probably delivered within a few weeks. It seems like a bit of a stretch for Tesla to make the claim that they did.

That's still an oddly worded e-mail though. It starts out by thanking reservation holders for helping make history, but concludes by asking them to reserve so they don't miss out. Seems like these were from two different texts intended for different audiences and the copy editor messed up and combined the two.
 
I just received a more refined version. Nothing groundbreaking but I will post the text anyways.

Thank you for reserving your Model 3. With your reservation, you are part of an exciting moment in history.
