Tesla’s first production Model 3 is out, Elon Musk is the owner
The first Tesla Model 3 production unit is on U.S. roads, and Elon Musk is the driver. Tesla’s CEO shared pictures of the car, the company’s first of the thousands it plans to build this year.
The $35,000 electric car was supposed to go to another person, the first to pay the full price for the car, as Tesla’s rules have it. But the man gave those rights to Elon Musk as a 46th birthday present.
Ira Ehrenpreis had rights to 1st car as he was 1st to place a full deposit, but gave those rights to me as my 46th bday present. Tks Ira!

According to Tesla, the Model 3 will offer a range of at least 215 miles (346 km). Around 20,000 Model 3 cars will be built monthly by the end of 2017.
