A few hours later, Elon Musk tweeted, “Model 3 orders at 180,000 in 24 hours. Selling price w avg option mix prob $42k, so ~$7.5B in a day. Future of electric cars looking bright!”

Following this tweet, Chowdhry shared his thoughts, assuring that the production of the Model 3 will be “a cake walk.” A few points he highlighted included:

In addition, the car’s roof is made of Complete Glass, which takes about 10 percent the effort, with 1 percent of potential defects when compared to a metallic roof; this makes manufacturing even easier and faster. Back to the body, the fact that it is made of self contained modules makes the assembly substantially simple and fast, as it takes only 1/3 of the suppliers that the Model S needed; this means that the Model 3 supply chain is three times more efficient and simple than the Model S supply chain. “Hence supplier complexity is reduced by a factor of 3 Hence, delivering first Tesla Model 3 by 4Q'2017 is easily achievable,” Chowdhry concluded.
