Tesla’s First Mass-Market Car, the Model 3, Hits Production This Week
By NEAL E. BOUDETTEJULY 3, 2017
Tesla Motors’ first mass-market car, the Model 3, will begin rolling off the line on Friday,
two weeks earlier than planned, Elon Musk, the company’s chief executive, said late Sunday.
In June, Mr. Musk told shareholders that Model 3 production was set to begin in July at the company’s assembly
plant in Fremont, Calif., although he stopped short of saying when the car would be available in volume
Mr. Musk envisions the new car reaching a much wider range of customers
and has said he expects it to push Tesla’s output to 500,000 cars a year in 2018.
The Model 3 is a critical test for Mr. Musk and his ambitious plan to turn Tesla into a producer of mass-market electric cars.
