All eyes are on Tesla's Q3 2018 vehicle production and deliveries report, which is expected this week. But Electrek has already came up with numbers from a source familiar with the matter. According to their report, Tesla produced roughly 80,000 vehicles this quarter, breaking company records. 

This number includes about 53,000 Model 3 vehicles, a 187% in production increase from last quarter. Company leaders hope the Model 3 sedan will be the vehicle that turns Tesla into a profitable mass manufacturer.

The company seems to be on track with these production numbers, despite the legal turmoil surrounding CEO and founder Elon Musk.
