Want a new Tesla Model 3? You may have to wait a wee while. Elon Musk, responding to a Twitter post, confirmed that the first 12 months of production have already sold out.Orders for Musk"s much anticipated electric car, of course, went off the charts: within the first 24 hours, just under 200,000 orders had been placed, and shortly after that, climbed to 276k. Recently, reports suggest that order book now tops 400,000. A lot of those pre-orders were with an option mix too, pushing the average price of a reserved Model 3 to $42k (the base car starts at $35k). Here are your basics then: the Tesla Model 3 is a five-seat, electric car capable of accelerating from 0-60mph in under six seconds ("we don"t make slow cars at Tesla," Musk said). It"s rear-wheel-drive, but will come with the option of a dual-motor AWD version.
