Tesla states that Model 3 will achieve 215 miles of range. I think that the manufacturing section of Elon Musk's recently published master plan was partly intended to prepare investors for not turning a profit in the next few years. Quote:
> A first principles physics analysis of automotive production suggests that somewhere between a 5 to 10 fold improvement is achievable by version 3 on a roughly 2 year iteration cycle. The first Model 3 factory machine should be thought of as version 0.5, with version 1.0 probably in 2018.
- makomk 10y agoHow much will the version of the Model 3 with 215 miles of range cost, though? I know that with the Model S, the headline price was for a heavily range-reduced version that Tesla didn't actually end up making - the handful that shipped were actually the next model up with a software restriction added.
- tcoppi 10y agoAccording to the Model 3 announcement, the base model will have at least 215 miles of range. The Model S was never announced with any specific range for the base model afaik, it was always marketed that the 40kwh model would have low range. It didn't sell very well, which is why they ended up being software restricted 60kwh models for initial reservations and never sold it after that.
