Tesla’s 'secret weapon' disappears from website and fans are panicking
The Model 3 was supposed to be Tesla’s secret weapon in the car market, but fans are panicking after it disappeared from the company’s website, Electrek’s Fred Lambert reports.

It was this base Model 3 with a standard battery pack that was supposed to be Tesla’s “secret weapon” on the car market, the affordable luxury electric vehicle that would solidify and boost Tesla’s dominance in its niche market and spread it over into the mainstream car market. However, this might have to wait.

Lambert quotes CEO Elon Musk comments about the base Model 3 made during the company’s Q4 financial results conference call that suggest the base model could be made available to buyers later this year but, as per Musk “it’s a rough, rough guess.”

The problem is the cost, as is so often the case. The affordable Tesla has been promoted with a price tag of just $35,000, but right now the cheapest version of the Model 3 costs $42,000 and that’s after a price reduction. Tesla has more work to do on the car to lower the cost to $35,000 and it said on its website that this would take “4 to 6 months.” Now, this information has been removed from the website, causing some fans of the brand who had pre-ordered a Model 3 to worry.

Shouldn't have put a price tag on it in the first place.

With the current 3 doing so well why would you take money off the table building a lower priced one? Duh.

I always said you'd never see a $35k new Tesla, and you never will.

If you can't afford to be a liberal elitist virtue signaling shitstain, try being a normal person instead and buy a regular car.
