It sounds like these guys are just speculating based on past history, not based on any facts or real information regarding the Model 3 itself. These kinds of articles really infuriate me because they're pushing fear about something of which they really have no idea what's going to happen.
Maybe they are just assuming that it will be Dec 2017 in the same way the Model X was Dec 2015 :)
 
From the shareholder letter:

Model 3 reveal is on March 31st.

They also expect to begin tooling the factory for Model 3 this year which is something I called previously as an indicator that the car is indeed on time.


Best news today however is for Ontarians:

Newsroom : Ontario Making Electric Vehicles More Affordable

The province's first Electric Vehicle Incentive Program was launched in 2010. Through this program, incentives were provided for the purchase of 4,800 electric vehicles and about 1,100 home chargers. The new, modernized program will:

  • Increase the current incentive range for EVs from $5,000 - $8,500 to $6,000 - $10,000
  • Provide an opportunity to receive an additional $3,000 incentive for vehicles with larger battery capacities
  • Provide an additional $1,000 incentive for vehicles with five or more seats
  • Continue to provide incentives linked to battery capacity of more than 5 kilowatt-hours
  • Cap incentives for vehicles priced between $75,000 and $150,000 at $3,000
  • Provide up to $1,000 for the purchase and installation of chargers for home and business use.

So basically Model 3 should easily qualify for the full $14K rebate however Model S and X rebates are now capped at $3K due to the selling prices being way over $75K.
