In addition, the company independently canceled another 4.2 thousand pre-orders. According to Automotive News, this decision is due to the fact that customers would have to wait too long for their cars because of the huge number of applications.
Moreover, even after the cancellation of reservations, Tesla still has 373 thousand applications for the Model 3. The manufacturer plans to establish production of 500 thousand such electric vehicles per year by 2018 - this will be the most affordable model of the brand.
It is worth noting that the base version of the Model 3 is priced at 35 thousand dollars. Its standard equipment already includes an autonomous driving system.
