I predict 10,000 reservations in 24 hours after its unveiling.
Take this a step further...
Do you think that the reservation list will be opened up to current Tesla Owners (for a limited time) prior to being opened up to the general public?...I mean it does feel like it would be "the right thing" for Tesla to do imo...
That would be nice but at the same time I can see not playing favorites on the mass market car. Maybe first dibs if there is a Signature series?
I'm getting into the first 40,000 for sure and maybe hold two reservations, one for a Sig and one for a General Production. Will discard the sig if the pricing and options turn out to be not worth it.
First 40k or so because that's when I'm predicting that Tesla would hit 200,000 cars produced in all (Roadster, S, X and G3); buyers would then no longer be eligible for the $7,500 federal tax credit.
My personal wish is for a Tesla Epsilon EC P135+ AWD Coupe with Falcon Wing Doors. But that will be a high end version of the GIII.
I think the entry level version of the car at $34,900 will be as capable as a BMW 335i, as well appointed as a Toyota Camry LE. Supercharging will be a $2000 option on that 60 kWh vehicle with Rear Wheel Drive.
The next step up would have an 85 kWh battery pack capacity and would also be Rear Wheel Drive for $42,900 and Supercharging included.
Beyond that would be an 85 kWh version with All Wheel Drive capability for $47,900 with Supercharging.
Finally, there would be a Performance version with All Wheel Drive for $54,900 also with Supercharging and a maximum spec battery pack, hopefully at 135 kWh capacity or better.
Please note that the entry level car would have a 0-60 of about 4.5 seconds, a top speed of 130 mph, and a cruising range of 250 miles. Also, its 60 kWh battery pack could be unlocked to become an 85 kWh battery pack for an additional fee.
Model S was surpose to be the $50k car, end up being $75k-$120k
- personally I think $35k is still regarded as high end small car. The price is still too high for mass market, ...
- Most importantly, I hope Model 3 doesn't look like a smaller Model S. If you put them side by side, buyers of Model 3 will look at it as the cheaper/smaller Model S. Buyers will view it as the inferior product.
Model 3 will need its own unique look. Buyers who buy Model 3 need to feel like they bought it because they like the new look, not because they couldn't afford Model S
Agreed. Nissan just canceled their 2 door Altima coupe this year because sales were so bad compared to the sedan. The coupe only accounted for 3% of the total Altima sales. The sedan crushed the coupe in sales.
Let it go, Dave, let it go
