I will be very curious how many of those III will be the default base model. We have not seen the feature set at that price so I expect most people to be surprised as how spartan it is.

While they will avoid much of the touch/feel issues with regards to buttons the real test is where the good plastics start and end.

With regards to production targets, not only do they have to get their plant to that level their suppliers have to be able to hit those numbers as well.

I might just put my next car purchase off now. I would like to see how Tesla is doing with this car on September 20th

I thought I remembered reading that the average price of the preorders was in the $40K's, in which case that $35k price isn't very realistic.

When you preorder, you put down $1000 and that's it. There is no way to select any options for your reservation and there is also no pricing available for options right now.
