Tesla's Model 3 is so far the most eagerly anticipated EV ever. Officially revealed earlier on March 31, 2016, the car already has hundreds of thousands of pre-orders worth more than $10 billion. However, the EV manufacturer said on Tuesday that all those buyers who have placed new pre-orders for the Model 3 sedan may have to wait until mid-2018 to get delivery of the Tesla's most affordable car.

Tesla's website initially stated that the deliveries for the Tesla Model 3 will begin in late 2017 but earlier this week, the company altered the statement to indicate that the delivery for the new reservations is likely to be done in mid-2018 or later.

In a statement given to Bloomberg, Tesla earlier made it clear that website update doesn't represent any change in their plans and that they still plan to start Model 3 deliveries from late 2017. Here's what we know about the Model 3 so far:

2017 Tesla Model 3 Specs And Features:

The Tesla Model 3 has an amazing acceleration of 0 to 60mph in six seconds with a range of 215 miles once fully charged. Elon Musk had also confirmed earlier that the Model 3 will feature an updated Ludicrous Mode and Tesla's third-generation battery technology. The presence of these features not only confirms the Model 3's performance potential, but it also hardens the fact that the Model 3 will have a wide price range.

Model 3 also features a Camper Mode, which will allow the owners to fold their rear seats flat clearing up 66 inches of space behind their front seats. Tesla's affordable EV will also be completely silent and will benefit from its Third Gen Battery Technology.

2017 Tesla Model 3 Interior:

Instagram user Richard Hennessy had posted a photo of the interior of the Model 3 earlier. Although the post has been removed now, the interior appeared to be very similar to that of the prototype revealed in March. The interior features a steering wheel, a huge center tablet to control the car, and a covered slim center console.

As earlier mentioned, the US-based car manufacturer will start deliveries of the Tesla Model 3 by 2017 End. However, Tesla has also made it clear that if you haven't ordered your Model 3 yet, you won't be getting it until mid-2018. Pre-order placements have already begun and the car is expected to hit a price of $35,000 USD.
