Staff from Tesla’s UK sales office have said that the EV maker is on track to start delivery for its best-selling Model 3 sedan in June 2019.
Prior to starting deliveries, it will open up the Model 3 configurator for UK drivers on its website within 1-2 months, and there is a small chance that it will be offering the mid-range option.
Reported via Twitter user EV Maps who spoke to Tesla’s Uk sales staff, the news is encouraging for countries with right hand drive – including Australia.
As Tesla CEO and founder Elon Musk noted in May 2018, the EV maker has planned the Model 3 in such a way as to minimise disruption to its assembly lines when switching to RHD production.
At the time, Musk also said that RHD production was set to start “probably middle of next year” – which of course left a pretty wide caveat on a specific month.
