// What is Tesla Model 3? (src: wikipedia)
The Tesla Model 3 is a mid-size all-electric four-door sedan manufactured and sold by Tesla, Inc.[1] According to Tesla officials, the Model 3 standard model delivers an EPA-rated all-electric range of 220 miles (354 km) and the long-range model delivers 310 miles (500 km).[7] The Model 3 has a minimalist dashboard with only a center-mounted LCD touchscreen.[11]
Within a week of unveiling the Model 3 in 2016, Tesla revealed they had taken 325,000 reservations for the car, more than triple the number of Model S sedans sold by the end of 2015. These reservations represent potential sales of over US$14 billion.[12][13] By August 2017, there were 455,000 net reservations, and an average of 1,800 reservations were being added per day.[14][15]
Limited production of the Model 3 began in mid-2017, with the first production vehicle rolling off the assembly line on July 7, 2017,[16][17][18] and the official launch and delivery of the first 30 cars on July 28.[19] Customer deliveries totaled 1,764 units in 2017.[20][21] Tesla's target for making 5,000 vehicles per week is projected at the end of June 2018, after previously promising earlier dates.[22][23][24]
Tesla stated that the Model 3 carries full self-driving hardware to be optionally enabled at a future date.[25][26][27]
History
Original Tesla Model 3 logo
The Model 3 was codenamed Tesla BlueStar in the original business plan in 2007.[36][37] The name Model 3, originally stylized as "Model ☰", was announced on Musk's Twitter account on July 16, 2014,[38] however, the intended name was Model E that was abandoned due to Ford's trademark on the name; Musk wanted the three current models to spell SEX, but settled with "S3X".[39] In early 2017, after trademark opposition from Adidas,[40] the triplicate horizontal-bar stylization was abandoned and changed to a numeric "3".[41]
The company plans for the Model 3 are part of Tesla's three-step strategy to start with a high-price vehicle and move progressively towards lower-cost vehicles, while the battery and electric drivetrain were improved and paid for through the sales of the Roadster, Model S, and Model X vehicles.[42]

In 2013, design chief Franz von Holzhausen said that the Model 3 will "be an Audi A4, BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class type of vehicle that will offer everything: range, affordability, and performance" that is targeted toward the mass market.[43] While technology from Tesla's Model S will be used in the Model 3,[44] it will be 20% smaller than the Model S[45] and have its own unique design.[46] According to Tesla's CTO, JB Straubel, in October 2015, most Tesla engineers were working on the 3 rather than S or X.[47][48] Since electric cars have lower cooling needs than combustion cars, the Model 3 does not have a front grille. Musk intended for the final design to be released on June 30, 2016[49] but when the design was finished on July 27, it was not publicly released.[50] After the final design of the first Model 3, any further changes would be included in future versions of the Model 3.[51] The optional glass roof developed by Tesla Glass will be made of the same glass used for Tesla's roof tiles;[52] a glass roof was introduced on the Model S in late 2016.[53]
