Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Tesla Model 3 launch event in 5 minutes”.
Everyone all right, so, let’s talk about what goes into making the model 3, it’s not so forth design. We aim for something that was a very simple clean design, because the cars will be increasingly autonomous. So you won’t really need to look at an instrument panel. All that often you’ll be able to do whatever you want, be able to watch movie. Talk to friends, go to sleep, so one of the challenges with the car is, since it is smaller than a Model S.
How do we make a car that is smaller on the outside bigger on the inside, so we took an idea from the Model X and we turned that around put that on the rear of the Model 3, so that you could still have a great deal of Rear headroom, and how to have this amazing view, while being in a smaller car? It’S actually one of the toughest design challenges of making the model 3 and then and in terms of engineering the car. We had to engineer it to be a lot easier to both the Model. S is an amazing coverage is very hard to build a certificate. The part countdown design is full to be light, but also to make it affordable and then, where this really shows up is and things like safety, so on the way have you got the car that is one of the safest cars in the world of Volvo s60. The Volvo is arguably the second safest car in the world, but I think it is. It is obvious which car you would prefer to be in in an accident. A question I get asked. I noticed its popping up on Twitter quite a lot. Where is my model? 3, sometimes not phrase quite as nicely in terms of production. I think that’s going to be the major challenge for us over the next 6 9 months is: how do we build a huge number of cars? Frankly, we’re going to be in production hell and welcome. Welcome.
Welcome to production hell we’re building the cars as fast as we can. When you have 10,000 unique items in a kit in a vehicle or any any any object, any one of them can slow down the production process, so the production rate will move as fast as the slowest and least luckiest component and in the whole mix. So we’ve got giant giant factory, making battery packs and power trains, giant factory, making cars and dry and supply train, and so all of those have to work together in cadence.
In order to get to our initial target of 5,000 cars a week and then, hopefully by the next year towards 10,000 cars a week, you’re probably wondering okay well like be able to charge my car well. This is like probably the second most common question I get on Twitter, like the supercharger is full. What is wrong with you by the end of next year? There will be three times as many super charges as there are today, so that should really help out a lot okay. So let’s talk about the specs for the Model 3.
There there are two main variants: there’s the standard in long range. The standard well is gon na be $ 35,000 for 220 mile range. It’S going to be a fast car, so the acceleration will still be well under six seconds hundred thirty mile mile an hour top speed.
I think you don’t forget the long range one which I have arranged in 310 miles and be about roughly 5 seconds, 0-60 140 mile an hour top speed. So this it’s gon na be a really great card. You would not be able to find a better car, gasoline or electric in that price range that is anywhere near is as great so, let’s head over some cars, we have the first 30 production cars here being charged right now, right there, those are actual owners getting Actual production cars – it’s to give you a sense if you, if you’re a model 3, now you’ll – probably get it towards the end of next year, but because the S and the X are in production, if you order them now, you can get them in about one Or two months, I’d like to think about all the customers who have model estimates and those who buy a Model S and an X, because in doing so you make the three possible the money that we we make with with a man s, necks all goes into Building model three, so thank you for doing that.
I want to just say to those that have lined up, for I am a model three I want. I just want. You know we. We realist that really matters to us.
I really care we’re gon na. Do everything we possibly can to give you the car as soon as possible, so we’re gon na work day and night to do right by the provide the oil through that you’ve shown us. Thank you. Thank you for a long time.
Supporters. Thank you guys to make it thank you, but about two-thirds come from North America and about a third from the rest of the world, but, as you can see with this chart, which looks like we’re being shot with ICBMs like that, that is, the ICBM chart actually Versus a well, we need a missile command command button. .
