If you want to be among the first to own the
upcoming Tesla Model 3, you’ll get only two choices in configuring your new EV. Elon Musk said that early buyers will get to
choose the exterior color and the wheel size and that’s it, as part of the
company’s policy to let them quickly ramp up the production of the Model 3.
Tesla has received hundreds of thousands refundable
deposits from potential customers for the Model 3, with Musk saying that buyers
will get to configure their cars starting next month.
More choices will become available, Musk added,
without saying when. The first examples of the Model 3 will come with two-wheel
drive only, with Tesla likely adding an all-wheel drive option early next year.
Tesla revealed earlier that the Model 3 will offer a
driving range of 215+ miles, a 0-96 km/h in 5.6 seconds and fewer than 100
configurations for customers to build their cars.
