Here are four possible reasons why Tesla won’t reveal any details about the Model 3 until it’s already in production, presumably this summer.
- There’s no need to generate more sales.
- Why tip your hand to the competition?
- Some things might not be finalized. Huh? With just a few months left? Absolutely. This ain’t Detroit we’re talking about. On-the-fly changes are a Tesla hallmark.
- Some Model 3 features may leapfrog the S and X, rendering them stale already. Relentless innovation can shorten the shelf life of your products. With phones or graphic cards costing a few hundred dollars, this isn’t a big consumer problem. They can easily upgrade. With cars, it’s a problem. And retrofitting Tesla’s latest tech into the S/X might be difficult or impossible. So, in short, Tesla might be savoring the last glory days of the S/X. The 3 might vanguard the “second generation” of Tesla products that make the first look like possum’s peckers.
