Tesla Superchargers … Model 3 vs Big Auto … Coolest Electric Bike? (Top CleanTechnica Stories…
July was a momentous month. The Tesla Model 3 — which must have surprised even Elon Musk — arrived. The first 30 production Model 3s were delivered. But there was a lot of other cleantech fun as well. Check out the stories below to see which grabbed the most eyeballs here on CleanTechnica.
Tesla Model 3 vs Gasmobiles … Model 3 vs BMW i3 … Super 73 Scout…
For a while, I thought the hottest CleanTechnica article of the past week was going to be an electric bike article, shockingly, but then a Tesla Model 3 story came in and stole the show. A BMW i3 vs Model 3 article also surprised and slipped into the #2 spot. Well, there were a few Model 3 articles on the list…
Tesla Model 3 To Crush BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Acura, Lexus, Jaguar, Toyota … Everyone
BMW, Audi, and Mercedes should be prepped for this, since they’ve already been walloped in the large luxury sedan class. Nonetheless, what’s coming is like nothing they could truly prep for. These automakers have been trading wins with each other in various monthly and annual races, but Usain Bolt just came to town and is soon joining the track days.

Remember The Tesla Death Watch? (Hahaha)
Tesla was on a “death watch” nearly one decade ago. News coverage and editorials frequently postulated Tesla’s coming demise. “It couldn’t produce cars,” said some critics. “No one wanted its cars,” skeptics claimed. “Its cars broke down around every turn,” liars lied. “Where would people charge?
