Tesla recently published a post with some more information on reserving a Model 3, which is arranged to debut at an occasion at the firm’s Hawthorne, California center late next week. However “debut” is a lot various from “launch”– the car won’t actually be on the road up until late 2017, an amount of time that Tesla declares in this recent post.
If you wish to put your name down for the vehicle, you’ll need to either go to a Tesla shop on March 31st, which is the date of the unveil, or wait till reservations go survive on Tesla’s site around the time of the statement, 8:30 PM PT. You’ll need to put down $1,000 upfront to obtain your name on the list. That sounds like a huge chunk of change– and it is– but the waiting list is likely to fill rapidly: Tesla is still working through reservations of Model X, which initially entered into production late last year. Existing Tesla consumers will get priority, and Tesla states that the very best way to get an early reservation slot will be to enter into a store when it opens on the 31st– if you wait up until reservations go live on the website during that evening, you’ll be pretty far behind the curve.
The Model 3 won’t release everywhere all at once. The automobile– Tesla’s very first mass-market automobile, and an absolutely important launch for the company– will first be readily available on the American west coast before moving east, eventually crossing the pond to “Europe, APAC, and right-hand drive markets.”
“We recognize that everybody wishes to get their Model 3 as quickly as possible. Our overarching goal is to make the most of overall consumer joy within the bounds of what is physically possible,” Tesla states. If you’re in the very first batch– late 2017 delivery– that’s going to be a quite uncomfortable wait.
We anticipate to obtain more details by next Thursday.
