Production-Ready Tesla Model 3 Revealed Via Twitter

Tesla CEO, Elon Musk, has relied on his favourite social media platform yet again to reveal the production-ready Model 3 EV to the world, releasing a pair of images of the new car via Twitter.

The new model, to be smaller and more affordable than Tesla’s current Model S flagship sedan, has been the subject of speculation since it was revealed as a concept in April 2016, with a series of leaks during its gestation leaving little to be discovered.

Musk had little to say about the new model, referring to it only as “Production unit 1” announcing the car a few hours before tweeting images.

Compared with the 2016 concept the production Model 3 has undergone some minor changes, with slightly different headlight internals, and reshaped door handles, but little else is different at first glance. 

It’s also worth noting that the first Model 3 driven on stage at the 2016 reveal was slightly different to the concepts used in static shots, which were closer to the final production example.
