| Tesla Model 3 |
For the car lovers, the Tesla Model 3 is all the rage these days. It was unveiled March 31st and there were lineups for the pre-orders. The car won't be available until 2018. The base list price is US$35,000 for this electric car. The successful model S is around $70,000 so the model 3 will make Teslas more affordable for the general marketplace.
CEO Elon Musk is being compared to Steve Jobs of Apple, he is a (crazy) entrepreneur who took a lot of risks to debut the electric Tesla cars. As entrepreneurs will do, he sold his shares as a co-founder of Paypal for US $165 million, almost lost it all when he started this new Tesla venture which has really taken off. His net worth is now 13.5 billion US.
Lovely car, but still way, way above my price limits! Happy T Day, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI guess to be a successful entrepreneur you sometimes have to take these outrageous risks. I saw Mr. Musk on The Big Bang Theory. He seems like a nice guy. The Model S was pretty awesome, but then... so is the price.
ReplyDeleteI'll wait another few years and go for a secondhand model, thank you very much.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the info. Have a great day!
ReplyDeletewow, thats an amazing story,, his risks paid off!
ReplyDeletealways seems the rich get richer, lol,,
it does look like a nice car,
Now, $35,000 is too much for me. Nice car, though.
ReplyDeleteI would like one but that is expensive
ReplyDeleteStill way out of reach for us! Nice looking car, though.
ReplyDeleteI would so like to have a less fuel powered car... That one looks beautiful! Thanks for the interesting information about the founder.
ReplyDeleteOOoh, I had no idea he was co-founder of Paypal too. What a guy. I would love one of these cars but I've never owned a new car or even remotely new but one can always dream. :)
ReplyDeleteToo fancy for my blood.
