Ilon Musk on competition and price for Tesla Model III

Tesla Motors executive director Ilon Musk does not think that Chevy Bolt should be considered a competitor to teslamobiles.

Bolt, an electric car from Chevrolet with a power reserve of about 320 km, will cost $ 30,000 after taking into account tax incentives. Tesla Model III, which is expected soon, is estimated at $ 35,000, without taking into account any state or federal benefits related to electric vehicles, Musk explains.

According to the Jalopnik publication, the total price of the Tesla Model III will be $ 27,500 ($ 7,500 less than the cost without taking into account tax benefits), which is not at all expensive for the advanced technologies that Tesla Motors is working on.

At the North American International Show in Detroit this week, Musk said that “there has never been anything like the Tesla Model III on the road”. Model III has a minimalist design, requires lower cost batteries produced by the company, and will be available in 2017. This model will be 20% less than the Model S and, which may help to reduce the price, some components will be optional. Also earlier, Ilon promised that by 2017 the power reserve of teslamobiles would increase to 800 km.



Of course, in the garages of car owners Tesla Model III will not settle soon. We are still waiting for the constantly delayed release of the Tesla Model X, which they promise to launch in the second half of the year (which was originally planned for 2013)
It remains to hope that the Model III will not be postponed time after time, like its predecessor.
