LIVE: Watch the Tesla Model 3 Launch, Tonight at 8:30 PM PT
The wraps are coming off the hotly-anticipated Tesla Model 3 tonight, and the event will be broadcast live at 8:30 p.m. PT, 11:30 p.m. ET.
If you didn’t spent the first order day lining up around the block to put $1,000 down on the lower-priced Tesla, you can at least live vicariously through your computer screen.
Tesla founder Elon Musk tweeted yesterday that tonight’s launch is “Part 1” of the reveal, with the second coming closer to the model’s production date. This implies the Model 3 shown tonight won’t be the exact vehicle you’ll drive when it hits the market in late 2017.
It likely won’t be embryonic, either.

Musk, clearly excited as hell, spent the day tweeting details of the launch and but not revealing much about the car behind the curtain.
For those who pounded the pavement in order to reserve a vehicle they won’t see for another year and a half, Musk promised there would be a “small token of appreciation coming” for these weary folks.

Why didn't he promise that it'd be a flying car? If you're going to promise something that you're likely to not deliver, might as well make it a whopper.
First ad selling a spot on the waiting list to appear in 3... 2... 1...
This story made the local news in Minneapolis/St. Paul last night. Hundreds of people waiting to put down money for a car they might not get until 2018. Supposedly if they don't like the car they can get a full refund. I'll stick with my used Volt, plenty happy with that so far. And parked next to a Tesla at my kids school the other week I thought the my Volt was "sexier" anyways! Might be a little bias in that statement .....LOL
It will be interesting to see how they handle options. Given supply constraints, I'll bet if you order the base model, your delivery date will be in 2025, but if you order the dual motor, AWD version with $20K in options, you'll get delivery in 2017. . .
