electric cars were once the stuff of
sci-fi but Tesla Motors is steadily
turning them into an affordable reality
welcome to watchmojo.com or counting
down five facts you should know about
the Tesla Model 3 number five
how is Tesla’s Model 3 different from
previous Tesla vehicles the model 3 is
the 4th electric car released by Tesla
after the Roadster the Model S and the
Model X with the major difference being
its price with a starting cost of
$35,000 it’s available for around half
as much as Tesla’s next cheapest car the
Model S as the company’s first venture
into the affordable cars market the
model 3 is arguably one of the most
significant car releases in decades
receiving unprecedented press and public
attention
$35,000 at 200 mile range that’s
suddenly a car that the average American
will consider buying Tesla CEO Elon Musk
hosted a glamorous launch event in
California on March 31st 2016 with the
car expected on the road by late 2017
hosts launched Musk tweeted that the
future of electric cars was looking
bright CNBC called the unveiling of the
model 3 quote a watershed moment for the
entire auto industry the pushing the
innovation that envelope faster than any
of the big car ought to make big car
manufacturers number 4 why is this model
important to Tesla Motors until now
Tesla has operated as a luxury car
manufacturer providing a futuristic
vehicle for those with enough disposable
income for example the current Tesla
Model S is priced to compete against
luxury car brands such as Mercedes and
Lexus
more specifically the mercedes-benz
s-class Lexus LS and the BMW 7-series
now the company is aiming to bring its
car of the future to the masses while
there are plenty of cars cheaper than
$35,000 and musk expects the average
model 3 price to reach around 42
mm with add-ons Tesla has never been as
achievable for so many people
at its base model it will now be able to
directly compete with more popular
models such as the Volkswagen Golf or
the Toyota Camry Musk’s goal is to
produce 500,000 vehicles a year and the
model 3 is crucial in achieving that in
2015
Tesla posted losses of 889 million
dollars and has consistently been
operating at a loss since conception but
the hope is that the model 3 will
inspire profit a high-volume vehicle
it’s an attempt to establish Tesla as a
major car company rather than a niche
tech-heavy startup number 3 how did the
industry and consumers react
commentators have compared the
anticipation for the unveiling to that
of a smartphone release with
similarities consistently being drawn
between Tesla and Apple fans queued and
camped out for hours outside Tesla
dealerships across the US with some
stores in California seeing hundreds
lined up outside the first online
pre-orders were taken an hour before the
launch with buyers paying a refundable
$1,000 deposit to secure their spot on
the model 3 waiting lists some without
even seeing the car beforehand according
to musk 180,000 pre-orders were made
within the first 24 hours equating to
around seven point five billion dollars
made in a day thank you to everyone that
ordered the car um we love you jack
nearad of Kelly Blue Book said quote
typically you don’t see pre-sales like
that at all there’s a magic around Elon
Musk and Tesla that has enthralled a lot
of people number two how did the launch
affect Tesla on the morning of April 1st
2016 Tesla shares had surged four and a
half percent gaining over $10 to reach
240 dollars and 20 cents by the
afternoon the trading volume of Tesla
stock had more than doubled its 30-day
average while some analysts remain
skeptical
the company deserves a tie valuation
consumer excitement has certainly
affected the markets Elon Musk has given
ambitious valuations of Tesla in the
past in February 2015 he predicted it
would skyrocket to 700 billion dollars
but clamor for the model 3 has lent at
least a little credibility to his high
expectations within two days of the
launch over 230,000 buyers had
reportedly made a deposit numbers which
shocked even Tesla itself quote
recommend ordering soon as wait time is
growing rapidly
number one what does this mean for the
electric car industry the hype
surrounding Tesla’s Model 3 proves
decisively that people do want electric
cars they’re no longer an outlandish
concept but a cutting-edge must-have for
Tesla specifically the early signs are
good but there are still only refundable
deposits to show there is no guarantee
that every deposit will translate into a
full purchase when the cars become
available and as other established auto
companies look to break into the
electric car industry as well Tesla may
find themselves Elstad by competition
however comparisons are often drawn
between Tesla and Apple for a reason
Elon Musk seems to have created a brand
so synonymous with its sector that its
reputation precedes it and before the
roads the people thought an electric car
would be would be slow and ugly and low
range and have bad performance and we
had to break that mold it was incredibly
important to show that that wasn’t true
why else would thousands have paid the
blind deposit as the iPod stood apart
from other mp3 players Tesla may prove
to be another level of electric car with
the model 3 as its driving force did
