The Twitter user posted: "@elonmusk please have mercy. I don't care if you say July 31st- but the speculation on Model 3 final release date has to stop." In response to the tweet, Musk replied, "@DouglasABailey News on Sunday."
Previously, it was reported that Tesla's plan was to unveil the final model on July 31, or at least sometime before the end of July.
On Sunday, Musk sent out another Twitter message which said that since the vehicle had already met its regulatory requirements for production, they are "expecting to complete SN1 on Friday."
His succeeding post then said, "Handover party for first 30 customer Model 3's on the 28th!"
Despite its impressive features, the Tesla Model 3 is expected to be the cheapest car in the company's range, with its price beginning at just around $35,000. According to previous reports, customers will have the chance to customize their Model 3 orders when it comes to color and wheel size. This was also confirmed by Musk himself during Tesla's recent annual company meeting in California.
