It is 5 days until the bookings for Tesla Model 3 begin and there is never before seen excitement around an electric car launch.
begin and there is never before seen excitement around an electric car launch. It almost feels like an Apple Keynote and the build up has everyone talking about the things expected from the genius of Elon Musk.
For starters, the booking price across the globe has been unveiled by Tesla, sadly India does not feature anywhere on the radar(I don’t expect them to make a presence anytime soon either). The company has announced the booking prices for the Model 3 across countries where it will be launched.
Currency Amount USD $ 1,000 CAD $ 1,000 MXN $ 20,000 EUR € 1.000 DKK kr. 10.000 GBP £ 1,000 NOK kr. 10.000 CHF CHF 1’000 SEK 10.000 kr AUD $ 1,500 RMB ¥ 8,000 HKD $ 10,000 JPY ¥ 150,000Now, the wait begins! The deliveries will begin at the end of next year which is going to be quite a long wait since Tesla’s Gigafactory needs to be set up and working by then. Taking into consideration the delays with the launch of Model S and Model X, it would be no surprise if the first deliveries see 2018.
This in any way isn’t a deterrent for fans of their electric cars as some reports suggest Tesla could receive about 100,000 bookings within 24 hours of the website allowing reservations. The bookings can be done through Tesla store or online, however, the prior might give them a better position in the queue. Also, owing a previous Tesla benefits since those will be given precedence over others as a small ‘Thank you’ gesture probably!!
One Dutch car rental company going by the name of MisterGreen is trying to crowdfund their demand for 1,000 Tesla Model 3 which the company will buy after deliveries and lease it at $645 per month. They already lease the Tesla Model Sand are in line to add Model X soon.
Tesla Stores are expecting hundreds of people to camp outside the store to be in line to beat the queue. Tesla has already sent out invite to potential customers which reads, “We’re excited to share more details about our Model 3 unveil plans. We’ll be live streaming the event on Tesla.com beginning at 8:30 p.m. PDT on March 31. Tune in to join in the experience. We can’t wait to show you what we’ve been working on.”
The reason for such demand is the kind of specifications it promises on a relatively budget price of $35,000 before government incentives kick in. The car will run about 350 km on a single charge and accelerate from 0-100 kmph in just 4.1 seconds.
