Tesla aims to produce 5,000 units of the Model 3 a week this year, and 10,000 units a week in 2018. Tesla already sells "S" and "X" model electric cars, but with a starting price of $80,000 they have been seen as wheels for the wealthy. The Model 3 silhouette resembles that of the Model S, but the new electric ride is smaller with a simpler design. "Anywhere on Earth (where) there is electricity, you can charge your car," Musk said. "For the future, the future being now, the cars will be increasingly autonomous," Musk said, pointing out that every Tesla model has the hardware needed to drive itself.
