Meanwhile, rumors are rife that Tesla is planning a mass production of the Model 3. The company is reportedly ramping up production of the 2170 lithium-ion battery cells at the Nevada gigafactory just in time for the EV's launch date. This is allegedly a huge hint that the EV will be offered in the mass market. If this happens, the Model 3 will be the first of Tesla's vehicles to go mainstream.
