But Musk now says the celebration following the following month might not exactly, the simple truth is, often be a full reveal Musk promised only "the very first pictures within your Model 3," meaning many of the information regarding the much-anticipated EV could live in a dark deeper into 2016.
Musk also confirmed, inside of a Feb. 9 interview with Bloomberg , what sort of
Model 3 will see its promised cost of $35,000, that is before government incentives that could drive it significantly lower.
UPDATE, September 3, 2015: Tesla chief Elon Musk accepted Twitter yesterday evening, when he is wont to complete, to lessen some key specifics of the upcoming Model 3, Tesla's perform a reasonable EV. Production will commence in just a couple of years, which jibes with what we already knew. Musk also teased fans, however, by promising to disclose the car in March from the new year.

June 15, 2014: A child Tesla is on its way to town. Tesla Motors confirmed late on Tuesday that the rumored third-generation car will probably be called, appropriately enough, the Model 3. The automobile will probably be about thirty percent small compared to the Model S, and will cost half the many. Tesla is working on the $35,000 range along with the Model 3, which aims to think about the BMW 3 Series when it hits the trail in 2017.
This news comes regardless that Tesla's newest vehicle, the crossover Model X, has yet to even display while driving (the group is scheduled to offer the 1st ones to buyers later this year). Based on Auto Express , which broke the tale, Tesla will disclose the Model III in 2016 ahead of the 2017 production year. (Auto Express has the benefit of images of one's possible Model III, but Tesla says those are produced by early mock-ups.)
What's alongside the boring name? Legal problems. Tesla Motors head Elon Musk told Auto Express that since he already produces a Model S and Model X, it seemed only natural to generate one E-but Ford says it owns that name and sued.
