Tesla has already received 325,000 pre-orders for Model 3
Tesla Motors told about getting more than 325 thousand pre-orders for the new Tesla Model 3 electric vehicle. If you manage to sell each pre-ordered car, it will be “the largest product launch in history,” company representatives say. Just a few days ago, it was about a quarter of a million orders, but the number of potential buyers continues to grow rapidly, despite the fact that pre-order processing costs $ 1,000 of collateral. However, the company promises to return this money if the buyer changes his mind.
Accordingly, 325 thousand cars ordered - this is $ 325 million at Tesla's disposal, more than the company received during the IPO. By the way, if all pre-orders turn into purchases, it means inflow into the company of ~ $ 14 billion. At the same time, the company did not invest heavily in advertising or paid promotion - PR goes on its own. Nevertheless, it is not yet clear whether it is good that there are so many pre-orders or not so much.
Ship Model 3 customers will begin no earlier than at the end of 2017. No one can tell whether Tesla is able to cope with such a load. It is possible that there will be deadlines. According to Model X, the problems started already now, by the way - instead of 4,500 electric vehicles, the company was able to deliver only 2,400 in the first quarter. Tesla Motors failed to fulfill the general order, only 14,820 commercial vehicles were delivered. But here we are talking about thousands of orders. But in the case of Tesla Model 3, the bill goes to hundreds of thousands. Perhaps, with the introduction of the Tesla Gigafabrika, the situation will improve, but will the company be in time to fulfill all its obligations?
Everything can be, yet Ilon Mask rather effectively solves many problems, and copes well with the work. With the number of pre-orders the company miscalculated- Mask, by his own admission, the calculation went on the same tens of thousands, not hundreds. So it remains to be patient and see how the company will resolve this issue. If you yourself are interested in this electric vehicle, then here is the information about the new model , which is currently available.
