The Model 3 is working out nicely for Tesla, which is already on track to pull in more than $14 billion for the electric car, just one week after pre-orders opened.

"The excitement has been incredible," the Tesla team wrote in a blog post. "We've now received more than 325,000 reservations, which corresponds to about $14 billion in implied future sales, making this the single biggest one-week launch of any product ever."

That last bit is a tad questionable; Apple sold 13 million iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus models in the three days last year, not to mention those 1 million 4s pre-orders in 2011 and 1 million PS4 purchases in 2013 over 24 hours. Tesla didn't elaborate on its statement, but those are still some impressive numbers for a company that is not quite as mainstream as Apple or Sony and is selling an expensive product with a learning curve.

As Tesla points out, it also hasn't advertised or paid for Model 3 endorsements.

"Instead, this has been a true grassroots effort driven by the passion of the Tesla team that's worked so hard to get to this point and our current and future customers who believe so strongly in what we are trying to achieve," the team wrote. "Most importantly, we are all taking a huge step towards a better future by accelerating the transition to sustainable transportation."

Just 24 hours after opening pre-orders for the $35,000 Model 3, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the company would have to "rethink production planning" because it recieved more orders than expected. During that first day of availability alone, Tesla racked up more than 180,000 pre-orders. The average selling price for orders within the first 24 hours was $42,000, so the company made about $7.5 billion in a day. Those ordering a Model 3 in the U.S. had to make a $1,000 down payment.

In a tweet Thursday, Musk said just 5 percent of Model 3 customers reserved two cars (the max allowed), suggesting most people want to keep it for themselves and aren't looking to flip the vehicle for profit.

Over 325k cars or ~$14B in preorders in first week. Only 5% ordered max of two, suggesting low levels of speculation. — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 7, 2016

"We want to thank everyone who has shown their faith in Tesla and the mission of electric vehicles," the team wrote. "We would write more, but we need to get back to increasing our Model 3 production plans!"
