4 Reasons It Makes Sense For Tesla Model 3 To Remain Cloaked

Originally published on TeslaMondo.

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.

1. There’s no need to generate more sales.
2. Why tip your hand to the competition?
3. 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.
4. 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.
