Elon Musk mentions the need for increasing Tesla Model 3 production capacity after poll results
Earlier today, CNBC published a poll asking “Would you put down $1,000 for the new Tesla Model 3?”. After over 12,000 respondents, the results showed that a strong majority were going to place a $1,000 deposit for the vehicle. Then later in the day, Tesla CEO Elon Musk mentioned the poll on Twitter and said that it “looks like we may need to increase production plans for the Model 3”:
Musk probably made the comment half-jokingly, but as Jon mentioned in his post this morning: Don’t Wait: Why you should reserve the Tesla Model 3 on Thursday, we are indeed expecting a significant backlog of Model 3 reservations in the next few days – yet we should not take that poll seriously.
The results would have been extremely impressive if they would have accurately represented CNBC’s regular readers, but they simply don’t. Not long after CNBC published the poll, it was posted to Tesla’s popular subreddit, forums and Facebook groups. It was basically hijacked by Tesla fans tipping the balance.
But if the ~10,000 people who voted for either of the two options for placing a deposit are really going to do it, it would already be impressive. The Tesla Model 3 will be unveiled at Tesla’s Design Studio in Hawthorne, California, on March 31st at 8:30pm Pacific. If you want to reserve the vehicle, Tesla revealed all the reservation process details per region and here’s everything we know about the vehicle.

Tesla Model 3: first person already in queue to reserve at the Tesla Sydney store
48 hours before the doors open on Thursday morning, Andreas Stephens is already in queue to be the first person to reserve a Model 3 at Tesla’s store in Sydney, Australia. It looks like the Sydney store is expecting a crowd as they already set up a queue line. Over 500 people have signed up to campout at Tesla’s retail locations to be among the first to reserve a Model 3 sight unseen, but Stephens is taking it to the next level with 2 full days of camping. expand full story
Australian publication EFTM talked to Stephens:
As the owner of a Toyota Corolla Seca right now, Andreas doesn’t even have a garage – “I’ve got two years to build one”. He credits his 19-year-old son with putting him onto the story of Tesla – the very same son who will likely be keen for a drive in Dad’s Model 3 when he’s 21 years old.
Of course, Andreas is also aware he won’t be the first person in Australia to own a Model 3 – priority in the queue will go to current owners of a Model S, but still, his queuing up to be one of the first is a story he’s keen to share with his grandkids in the future.
Stephens will be placing a $1,500 AUD refundable deposit to reserve his electric vehicle. The Model 3 is expected to start at $35,000 in the US, but with the currently weak Australian currency, the car will likely cost around $50,000 AUD. Stephens and EFTM are predicting closer to $65,000 and $70,000.
As Jon explained in his post this morning: Don’t Wait: Why you should reserve the Tesla Model 3 on Thursday, we are expecting a significant backlog of Model 3 reservations will be created in the next few days. If you want a Model 3 with a chance to get it before the end of 2018, we suggest reserving early, especially if you are in the US and are hoping to get the federal tax credit.
The Tesla Model 3 will be unveiled at Tesla’s Design Studio in Hawthorne, California, on March 31st at 8:30pm Pacific. If you want to reserve the vehicle, Tesla revealed all the reservation process details per region and here’s everything we know about the vehicle.

I have always felt that in some way Thunderbird 2 was an homage to GAMERA...
By my count he's been involved in bringing four billion-buck-a-dollar firms to light so far... PayPal, SpaceX, Tesla Motors, and SolarCity...
