San Francisco – And ‘boom in orders for the Model 3, the electric sedan introduced last Thursday by Tesla as a less costly alternative to X models and S. The company’s founder, Elon Musk, has said on Twitter that the evening last Saturday orders had already reached 276 thousand units, even though the product will not be available before 2017. “We will definitely rethink our production planning,” he said the charismatic manager.
Only the first 24 hours from the crowded presentation ceremony took place in San Francisco, the Model 3 (which will have a base price of $ 35,000, exactly half of the Model X and Model S), had collected nearly 120,000 orders. These are impressive figures especially when compared with the purpose of production of Tesla in 2020, set at 500,000 cars (in 2015, however, they were manufactured just 50 thousand).
The Musk bet it is to broaden as much as possible a market, that of mobility ‘electric, still niche. Certainly, with similar numbers, achieving the economies of scale that will allow a further lowering of costs and the price list will be ‘a matter less climbing than expected.
The model, when fully charged, will have’ at least 345 km of autonomy and will be ‘compatible with both the new quick-charging system on autopilot’ autopilot ‘patented by Tesla as, according to Musk, “will be’ a marvelous machine without optional”.
More one analyst has compared the interest shown by the public for the Model 3 to huge crowd that occur before the Apple Store when the house of Cupertino has a new product. “This must have been the first time in the history of the automotive industry in which files are views of people waiting to place an order for a car that will not be ‘available for over a year”, said Jessica Caldwell of specialized site Edmunds. com, “and ‘the kind of sensation to which we are witnessing for the Star Wars films or new iPhone.” (AGI)
