特斯拉将于3月31日在南加州举行一场特别的活动发布其第四款车型——Model 3。车厂将在同一天开始接受Model 3的预订，订金为1000美元。而车厂将于4月1日开始接受在线预订，但车辆交付时间将推迟至明年晚些时候。根据最新透露的信息，Model 3起价（不含任何税收优惠）3.5万美元（约合人民币22.78万元），预计该车续航里程将低于Model S和Model X，大约是420公里。Model 3上市之初将只提供轿车版本，未来还将增加跨界车版本。

 

$35,000 Tesla Model 3 coming on March 31

Tesla will finally reveal the Model 3 during a special event on March 31 in Southern California.

 

A post on the Tesla Motors Club forums confirms Tesla is preparing to launch its fourth model – the Model 3, on March 31. We don’t have further details about the premiere, but it is said it will be held in Southern California.

 

On the same day the Californian EV automaker will start accepting $1,000 deposits on the Model 3 and maybe some reservations will be made during the launch event. Online orders through the recently acquired Tesla.com will start on April 1, while deliveries will kick off in late 2017.

 

Preliminary details suggest the Model 3 will have a starting price of $35,000 before any tax incentives. We expect it to come with a slightly lower range than the Model S and Model X, which means the 250-mile (420 kilometers) mark sounds reasonable. Initially, the Model 3 will be launched only as a sedan, but later it could receive a crossover version as well.
