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.
The wraps are coming off the hotly-anticipated TeslaModel 3 tonight, and the event will be broadcast live at 8:30 p.m. PT, 11:30 p.m. ET.
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.
Online orders begin at 7:30 p.m. PT for the Model 3, which is expected to cost around $35,000 and have a range greater than 200 miles. Only two per person, Musk cautioned.
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.
