Suppliers of components for Tesla Model 3 should be fully ready to begin shipments of core components to the first July 2017.
Of course, this does not mean that the Tesla Model 3 will be available the next day. Firstly, there is a queue, and priority of service applications have Tesla Motors employees and owners of other electric vehicles of this brand. Secondly, to make the order is now able to receive electric car only at the end of 2018. This shows that the production capacity of Tesla Motors is limited, although the company said recently that the only existing factory in California is able to produce up to one
million electric vehicles per year. Recall that in 2018 the company is committed to produce half of the amount of electric vehicles annually.
Tesla Motors representatives explained that in the second half of 2017 the company will try to release between 100 and 200 thousand Tesla Model 3. This will allow more Americans to have time to participate in the federal program, partially subsidizing the purchase of electric vehicles, whose total circulation does not exceed 200 thousand copies. Already in 2018 Tesla Motors is to release 500 thousand electric vehicles of all models.
By the way, the same source reports that the recently discussed battery capacity of 75 kW � h will be the base for electric Tesla Model S and Tesla Model X from the end of this week. In fact, all electric cars will be installed with the 75 kW � h battery.
