I hope not! which one are you in the market for?2020 before anything other than the long range AWD or performance version would be available
I’m a model 3 reservation holder but never got the email
Should have been to all reservation holders that would make way more senseI think ?? it was only for existing Model-S / Model-X owners - dunno if that includes you?

So looks like they are probably targeting current S/X owners who haven't yet shown any interest in ordering an M3, which would make sense.
if they keep pumping them out at the present rate.

I was in Florida 6 weeks ago and went to a Tesla store. Quoted 8 weeks delivery on new Model 3 in the states. It seems like virtually all back orders in the states have been cleared so would expect R/H deliveries to be around June /July time if they keep pumping them out at the present rate.
It seems a bit odd to me that they appear to have caught up with back orders at this stage. I thought there were supposed to be around 400,000 reservations, and they have so far delivered only around 140,000 cars. So I guess a lot of people with reservations are waiting for the base model to be released before ordering. I expected the backlog to take at least 2 years to clear, but obviously not the case!
This point is being made by some elsewhere. It’s all very well outselling the competition now, when there’s a backlog of orders to fulfil. How many new sales are being made, and how many of the reservations have either dropped away or are waiting for the mystical $35k option?
Actually I think there will be a lot more new sales once people realise the car is available here and now. The fact that 400,000 people were willing to put down a deposit before the car was released shows the potential demand. But it does look increasingly like there is a lot more demand for a base model, as you might expect at that price point.
It would make sense for Tesla to address that base market once the high end market is saturated. But there are still major markets to be milked with the high end M3 models before filtering down at a reduced margin. You would think the US and Europe can take all the high end M3s Tesla are able to produce for quite some time to come. Maybe another year at least? It's not like there is even any direct competition in that time scale, which I find quite remarkable!
Elon has said they aren't yet in a position to sell the $35k version at a profit. I wonder how much more difficult that has become as the tax credit is reducing/finishing.
It does of course make the cars rather less desirable for the buyer, and risks the tail end of the reservation list melting away if people were assuming an actual price of $35k - credit.
