Tesla Model 3

Lead Lap
We currently have email thread going on at work with all the current Tesla owners and everyone who put down money for a Model III. I think I'm the only one who won't be a Tesla owner by 2019.

There's more to making or breaking Tesla than how much profit is made on each car. If this works, the credibility they will gain will be immense, and will bolster everything else they do.

Wow Teslas is literally giving every other automaker a blueprint and a year and a half to release something similar. Secondly, if they are having trouble delivering their low volume models, how are they going to deliver high volume products? Even if the giga factory comes on line on schedule, there will always be teething problems initially. it's good they are succeeding in getting so much hype and orders. Let's hope they can deliver.

But bravo to Tesla. Is this one of the first instances in a car getting a substantial amount of some development costs "crowdfunded" with this elongated deposit/order cycle?

If they start selling them in 2 years at $45k before tax breaks, it is pretty nice... basically it is like Bolt pricing except it is much bigger vehicle, faster, nicer.
Of course, there will likely be $80k model... A lot of people are expecting they will all be sold at $35k after tax break, but just like with every other car model, most sold config will likely be over $50k.

But yes... great fanbase that will do whatever Musk tells them to... which is very good for the company. Big screena and good performance is all they need (0-60 in under 6s is very nice).

Well, it is going to be a lot worse in Model 3 since it is a lot cheaper car... today's reveal is basically a concept vehicle, it looks like pretty "poor" interior but that will likely change before production vehicle.
