It will go up more in the rest of the world than the US.
Part of the reason the US has around half the S&X demand is that the US is also home to 41% of the worlds $1m+ net worth individuals (I'd bet most S/X owners a classify as such). The US however is home to only 20% of it's $100,000+ net worth club:

Worldwide, the number of people worth $1m+ (potential Model S/X owners) is ~40 million. The number of people worth $100k+ (potential Model 3 owners) is ~500 million.
This is why worldwide Model 3 demand should be 2-3x US demand, IMHO. China is number 2 in $100k net worth individuals which is why it was likely #2 for a Gigafactory. Europe is probably equal to US/China hence then getting a GF too.
Thanks for that. I had been kind of modelling in my head that model 3 would follow the distribution of sales of S/X, but this is a convincing approach to me in general and moves me more towards this direction. It will be interesting to see what the split is. They really are gonna end up spending a lot covering the service geography.
