Tesla’s new electric sedan has arrived!

American automaker Tesla’s CEO and founder Elon Musk has offered the world a glimpse of the company’s first mass-market car. Elon Musk tweeted photos of this new car as it rolled out of the firm’s production plant in California.

The Model 3 car is an electric sedan and its sale would commence by the end of July. It is presumed that the vehicle production would increase to 20000 per month by end of December. The car is relatively cheap. It has a price tag of $35,000 (£27,142) which is half the cost of Tesla’s next cheap model, Model S.

This is Elon Musk’s first step to produce affordable and environment-friendly cars for the masses. The Company initially had the tag of being producers of luxury electric cars.

Elon Musk has in his possession the keys to the first car since the first buyer who paid the full deposit for this car gave up his claim and gifted it to Elon Musk on his 46th birthday.

People are skeptical about this new model since Tesla’s previous models, namely Model S sedan and Model X SUV were embroiled in production delays and quality issues at the start. All the regulatory requirements are in place well in advance and the cars have been cleared to go on sale.

The design chief of this car is Franz von Holzhausen. He had specified that the model would be an ‘Audi A4BMW 3-seriesMercedes-Benz C-Class type’ of a car which will offer everything that an individual would want: range, affordability, performance, and safety.

Its size is 20% smaller than the Model S. The car also is without the front grill since it is an electric car and its cooling needs are less. It would have a glass roof.

The Company has realized that after the USA, China will be its next biggest market for this model. Tesla is eyeing to enter more countries by end 2017 with this model.

These include Brazil, South Africa, South Korea, Ireland, India, and Singapore. Tesla plans to gradually minimize the price of this model.
