I’ve said this before but it bears repeating, if only for the sake of GM president Mark Reuss. Model 3 ownership has surged in my northwest Los Angeles community. Four of my immediate neighbors now have new Model 3s. If I expand that out to the larger community, there is a veritable plague of Model 3s. It’s by far the most popular new car and I see more every month. It’s almost like everyone is running out to get the newest iPhone. Except this is a $50,000 car (give or take ten thousand dollars). But I thought my neighborhood was an extreme case. And I thought that cars like the Honda Civic and Toyota Camry were pretty much unassailable in California. Think again. In the first nine months of 2019, the Model 3 is the #3 best-selling car in California. Just behind the Toyota Camry.
