The Tesla Model 3 is one of the most talked about vehicles on the market because it represents the first attempt by Tesla to try and mass produce a car that\u2019s affordable. What you don\u2019t know right from the start is the fact that this car shows up as a basic model if you don\u2019t want to pay more, which isn\u2019t a real surprise. The slow production process of the Model 3 is certainly testing the patience of many people on the list for this car. If you\u2019re on the list, what\u2019s going to happen when your number comes up.<\/p>\n
If Tesla sends you an e-mail to tell you that \u201cYour Model 3 is Ready to Order\u201d you won\u2019t be able to order the Model 3 unless you want one of the \u201cFirst Production\u201d models. The fact that you\u2019ve waited nearly two years to have this car already, which isn\u2019t a completely broken promise from the company yet, you might go ahead and buy one of these models. This means you\u2019ll have a Tesla Model 3 that costs you $49,000 because it will have310 miles of range and all the premium upgrades offered.<\/p>\n
The basic model of the Tesla Model 3 is one that has a dual-motor AWD system that offers only 220 miles of range that will cost around $35,000 before any options. If this is the car that you want and your number is selected, you\u2019ll have to stay on the list for a longer period of time. This may give you the thought that Tesla has duped you by having the more expensive models ready before the cheaper ones, but nearly every automaker would do this in order to have customers buy the higher models.<\/p>\n
If you do want the First Production version of the Model 3, you have to start going through the options that can be added to this car. The first option is the color you want for the car with black being the basic color and all others adding $1,000 to the price. You\u2019ll also be able to choose wheel options, premium upgrades, Autopilot, and much more. If you choose all the upgrades and are ready to experience this Model 3, the car will now cost $58,000 and you will have to place a $2,500 non-refundable deposit on the car in order to make the order.<\/p>\n
When you choose to finance the Model 3 that now costs nearly double what you originally thought it would you may need to put up to $5,000 down and pay more than $800 per month for six years. If you hold out and want to stay in line for the basic model, you have to click on a gray box and ask Tesla to hold your place in line and choose the ideal time to take delivery which is scheduled for between now and next March. This is an odd way to buy a car, but it\u2019s how Tesla is offering the Model 3 to those on their reservation list.<\/p>\n
