Tesla received twice as many pre-orders for the Model 3 than planned
Tesla Motors received more than 250000 pre-orders for the Model 3. Now the maximum capacity of the plants is 50,000 electric vehicles per year.
Ilon Musk can be pleased with the work of his team
Competent work of Tesla Motors in promoting the new electric vehicle Tesla Model 3 has borne fruit. The company received twice as many pre-orders for the new product as it had expected. In just the first day, Tesla received more than 100,000 pre-orders for an electric car worth $ 35,000 (basic version). Now the number of pre-orders exceeded 250 thousand.

Another surprise for the company was the queues at the Tesla Motors showrooms. As already reported on Geektimes, some potential buyers took their places in the queue a couple of days before the start of pre-orders. Many came on the old Tesla models in order to order a new model. According to estimates of the head of the company Ilona Mask, the total number of people in the queue per one salon was 800 people on average. The calculation was based on 20-30 people.
All buyers who pre-order an electric car will receive some gifts. But those who came in person and defended in line will get something special.
About how many electric vehicles the company is able to produce in a certain time is not reported. Therefore, one can only guess how the increased demand will affect the availability of an electric vehicle for sale. Ilon Musk in one of the tweets said that the company was counting on half of the orders received, or even a quarter.
Now it is known that the first batch of electric vehicles will go on sale no earlier than 18 months after the presentation.

Token of appreciation for those who are lined up coming via mail. Thought maybe 20-30 people per store line up, not 800. Gifts on order.

@ 34thrain Maybe 1/4 to 1/2 of what happened. If you want it, it’s not a problem.
