Ron Burgundy Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 By Paul Lienert DETROIT (Reuters) - Tesla Motors Inc said orders for its new Model 3 electric sedan topped 253,000 in the first 36 hours -- a fast start for the company's first mass-market vehicle, which may not begin to reach customers for another 18 months or more. Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk tweeted on Friday that the Model 3, which is slated to go into production in late 2017, will sell at an average price of $42,000, including the price of options and additional features, which would give the initial flurry of orders an estimated retail value of $10.6 billion. The car's average selling price projected by Musk is well above the $35,000 base price. View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
