This is common for EVs. People who are thinking about it often pull the trigger before the end of the year to get the tax break. Also: Holiday debt.
Did Tesla actually deliver 1,875 Model 3s in January? Or is this just "We got another 1,875 reservations"? Tesla doesn't report monthly numbers, so that number is just a guess.
It's an approximation from InsideEVs, based on registration numbers, and as such would be discussing deliveries. No one is going to report ~2k reservations on top of the ~400k they currently have.
