This brings the latter to 350,000. Meanwhile, an analyst who is a company booster predicted that 75,000 Model 3 cars would be built next year and nada for this year. In that case, it seems like even if 100 percent of all depositors convert to buyers, the most recent will probably have to wait until the end of 2020 to get their hands on the Model 3.
As it is always with Tesla, projections tend to cause a lot of commotion among supporters, advocates, detractors and investors on every side of the buy-sell equation.
Model 3 will be the California-based firm’s first affordable cheapest model and will rival many other similarly priced conventional saloons of the same category. Following its debut last March, 100 of thousands of they were pre-ordered, and customers ended up paying a thousand pounds to be among the first to get their hands on the highly anticipated EV.
Elon Musk, the Tesla founder, said that the first year of production was sold out, which means a lot of those who pre-ordered, will not receive their cars until late 2018.
Besides featuring self-driving systems, Model 3 will come with all the essential hardware so as to improve its autonomous systems shortly. Similar to Model S and Model X; the entry level EV will come with Tesla’s Autopilot program, which will roll out monthly firmware updates along with extra features.
