As Tesla are preparing for the launch of their next major release – the Model 3 – there is a lot of talk about the car all over the Internet, and it’s a hot topic among not only car lovers, but tech enthusiasts as well. The company has done pretty much everything right since they started their venture on the auto market, and now they’re about to become even more mainstream than before.
There is probably a long wait ahead of Tesla’s fans anticipating the release of the Model 3, as the car isn’t expected to come out until the last quarter of 2017. That’s quite the long wait remaining, but those who’ve been following Tesla’s progress on the market are probably used to the idea of long waits so far.
And in the end, it’s much better to see this instead of constant unexpected delays and issues with the production. For what it’s worth, Tesla have actually managed to handle all of their work without any hitches so far, and every model they’re releasing seems to match their original goals as closely as possible.
The Model 3 is supposed to bring their cars even closer to the mainstream market. The Model S was already a good offer with a nice reduction in price compared to its predecessor, but now interested buyers can get their hands on the Model 3 for even more cheaply.
That was the whole plan from the beginning too – produce small volumes of luxury cars at first in order to secure funding, and then move on to capturing the mass market by producing cheaper models with a broader reach.
The Model 3 is still a bit pricy compared to the average car on the market, but it should still attract many buyers, and Tesla themselves seem to be anticipating such an outcome too. The company is reportedly getting ready to produce half a million copies of the model, which indicates that they’re expecting some pretty strong sales.
Still, at $35,000, there isn’t much left to be desired from the Model 3 and the overall package that the car offers. It screams luxury inside and out, particularly when it comes to the internal electronics and the extra comfort features. It’s quite obvious that Tesla have designed this model with the intention of making an impression not only on their drivers, but on their passengers as well.
Interested buyers can already register their desire to own a Model 3, and it will cost them $1000 to reserve a purchase for the future. This is not a bad deal at all, considering how popular the car is expected to be once it arrives to the market. We fully expect that those who’ve preordered will be very satisfied with their decision when the market faces a potential shortage.
After that, we expect that the company will continue along their path, working towards even more accessible all-electric models in order to spread the idea across the market as far as possible. It used to be seen as a pipe dream, but now we’re getting closer and closer to the reality of having electric cars all over the place around us.
Tesla have also been working on improving the driving experience in many other ways, including making it a safer, more convenient ordeal from start to finish. We’ve already seen some interesting reports on how Tesla’s cars have prevented accidents from getting ugly, and we expect that this will become an even more common trend in the future.
