The 2018 Leaf is supposed to be "released" before the M3 becomes available, in September. It won't be on lots, though, you will have to order one. Whether or not that really "beats" the M3 delivery is open to debate.
Will still beat the T3 but actually "announced" in Sept, available Q1 2018
In 3/2016 Tesla first revealed the Model 3 and said customer deliveries would start Q4 2017.
Last month, Tesla updated the timeline:
First cars to owner employees in July
1000 cars a week in August
2000 cars a week in September
5000 cars a week by end of 2017
10,000 cars a week sometime in 2018
With some 400 - 500k reservations, the production ramp is a whole lot more important than when the first cars are delivered.
