"At Tesla we don't make slow cars" - Elon Musk said at the unveiling of the Tesla Model 3 and he can add: "and we sell them fast as well!" Bloomberg reports that in the first 24 hours Tesla Motors has already 115,000 reservations for this mass market electric car with "at least 215 miles range on a charge."
Now we can really talk about the mass market for Electric Cars. There are only 2.1% of cars being sold in the U.S. last year which are priced above $75k, so Tesla Model S and X were disrupting only this very small high-end segment of the market. But almost 35% or 5.5 millions cars were sold with price tag around $35k where Tesla Model 3 is priced before incentives. Now Elon Musk will be going after third of the U.S. market potentially. When you take incentives into the account we are getting closer to my magic 20/200 formula when all cars will be electric!
Tesla Model 3 basic will make it 0-60 mph in less than 6 seconds and there will be a faster versions, all cars will be "prewired" with autonomous driving hardware and all safety features. Tesla Model 3 seats 5 adults comfortably and with full glass roof provides "the roomiest experience" of the similar class cars according to Elon. All cars will be Superchargers ready! Elon promised that number of Superchargers will double by the end of the next year and number of destination chargers will quadruple.
