This may be well deserved given the endless delays and opaque deadlines on the release of the Model X, battery swap stations and other things that have been announced with much fanfare from Tesla.

Just for fun, and maybe a beer if we ever meet in person, let’s wager here on Oppo just when the Model 3 will be available. To avoid any ambiguity with pre-orders, etc, let’s try to choose the date when the first one is expected to be delivered. Price-Is-Right rules in effect - closest without going over.

I’ll keep a running spreadsheet of dates that have been selected and by whom. My wager was 2nd quarter 2018 - but to be more specific I will go with May 13, 2018.

Let me know your choice in the comments and I’ll get a link to a google doc once we have some interest going and we want to keep track.

UPDATED - !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , good luck to all and there are plenty of dates yet to choose! Listed in chronological order for ease of viewing.

I’m going to go with December 21, 2019, that way they can just barely say it was “before 2020” but not before everyone goes on vacation for the winter holidays in the states.

November 6th 2017, I'm an optimist and by that point might legitimately be in the market for one :)

By the time demand settles down to a level that can keep up with supply? 2020.

This assumes you expect them to come out at the same time. I say January 17th, 2017 for the sedan, I bet the crossover comes out later.

July 30, 2018 - It’ll officially slide into H1 2018 sometime in early 2017, and they’ll just miss that.

Since knowbody else has claimed this date, I’ll take “Never”. Good luck trying to pick a date after mine.

Good point, I didn’t clarify but I bet your hunch is right on the sedan leading the way. For the sake of this endeavor let’s use the date of whatever arrives first.

Model 3: they will deliver about 15 of them on December 18 2017 so they can say they released in 2017. Actual mass production won’t be out until September 1 2018 because of “issues”
