The wait is over.
Elon Musk, CEO of electric car manufacturer Tesla, will be handing over the first Model 3s today to the first 30 people who purchased them.
And because it’s Tesla, of course they are going to livestream the entire event. It will start tonight at 8:45 pm PT / 11:45 pm ET (sorry, East Coasters), and you can stream through the Tesla website.
The Model 3 is Tesla’s “most affordable car yet,” according to the company. Its starting cost is $35,000 (a much more affordable price than other Teslas, which can range anywhere from $68,000 to $134,500). The Model 3 can get up to 215 miles of range per charge.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?
Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple reasons that we can't rely only on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on.
First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.
Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. We can’t do that if we have a paywall.
That’s why we also turn to you, our readers, to help us keep Vox free. If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today?
