The EV community is probably guilty of talking about Tesla too much, but here’s a topic that really does need discussion. Can the company, having successfully introduced two cars and on the verge of launching a third (http://www.plugincars.com/tesla-model-x), really pull off the big score and get the all-important Model 3 on the market with the promised specifications?
The Model 3 is the big one, the car that will launch Tesla on its way toward the goal of 500,000 cars a year, profitability, and really using that cavernous factory. It’s set a high barrier: a $35,000 to $40,000 price, and 200 miles per charge, while retaining a high level of equipment and coolness. And it’s due on the market right around the corner in 2017, set on an entirely new platform (with batteries from the all-new Gigafactory).
