Tesla Model 3 cancellations may not gain momentum; Production to begin from mid-2017
Ritwik RoyTesla is expected to start Model 3 production in mid-2017 and hit volume production at the end of the year. It is one of the most-anticipated electric vehicles and has been that for a long time now. People have shown tremendous trust in Tesla and its owner Elon Musk. However, a recent comment by Musk, involving US President Donald Trump's executive order to ban people from certain countries, has created a lot of backlash to the extent that some Tesla Model 3 pre-orders have been reportedly cancelled.
According to Electrek, Tesla Model 3 received an overwhelming number of pre-orders that now stands at nearly 400,000 pre-orders. Reservation holders paid $1,000 as deposit to pre-order a Model 3.
