Though the company has officially not announced the price of the model, here we can tell you how much you need to pay for Model 3. Elon Musk, Tesla CEO, in an interview with Bloomberg in February, said that the more affordable Tesla would hit the targeted price of $35,000 with additional incentives that could vary in different states.
The company is announcing saying the production of the Model 3 will start in 2017 but has not confirmed when it will be delivered to the consumers. Though not at the same time, Tesla will first ship the car to North America from the West Coast towards moving east and later on to other high-end markets in APAC and Europe.
