[Maestro]

The new Tesla Model 3 will be unveiled in a live stream starting at 10.30 am Thai time, that's in about half an hour.

It looks like they will indeed use the Chinese number 三 (3), which closely resembles the letter E in the Tesla trademark, as I had expected from the day when I read that Ford won their case to prevent Tesla from calling it "Model E", and Elon Musk gets what he intended, the three Tesla models spelling out S E X

Price would be 5 to 7 million here....ridiculous..

[Zendo]

Even If taxes would be 100% in Thailand, the price car will rise to 70.000$, that will be 2.46M thb

How do get this 5 to 7M thb calculation ? that is the price of the S model which is not a cheap car anywhere.

Deliveries of the Model S will start early next year, although retail pricing has not been finalised. 
.The Model S could be priced from Bt5 million to Bt7 million, she said

S model price quote :

The all-wheel-drive 70-kWh version is $75,000 before any incentives, and the 85-kWh version is $85,000, or $80,000 with rear-wheel drive. The P85D (Performance) model starts at $105,000.

so the Model 3 will be available around 2.3 to 3M thb but I hope it will be less... this car looks real good !!!!

Pretty simple, because import taxes in Thailand aren't 100%, they are around 280%

Tesla unveils its Model 3 sedan as pre-orders top 198,000
Chris Woodyard, USA TODAY 3:19 p.m. EDT April 1, 2016

HAWTHORNE, Calif. -- Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk said Friday that "pre-orders" for the Model 3 electric car had hit 198,000, an encouraging sign a day after the novel vehicle aimed at a mass market was unveiled here to an enthusiastic crowd.

The Model 3 drove onto a stage through a curtain of fog at a lavish ceremony in a converted hangar adjoining the SpaceX factory in this Los Angeles suburb. Tesla CEO Musk vowed that the car will seat five, hit the highest safety marks and have a range of at least 215 miles a charge.

While its performance won't be nearly as breathtaking as its larger sibling, the super-luxury Model S, will be impressive: Zero to 60 miles per hour in less than 6 seconds. To prove the point, Tesla offered test rides with a long straightaway in which the car hurtled down a side road at push-you-back-in-your-seat speeds in near silence.

I wonder if Ludicrous Mode will come as an option for the Model 3. Not that I would buy this option.

[Puccini]

I have 200 Tesla shares in my portfolio. If their value will be enough to buy a Model 3 by the time it becomes available in Italy I shall buy one.

Whats the current tax on a electric car and hybrid car compared to lets say a Lamborghini?

I'd never have one. Apparently their service is poor in Thailand, which is much more important than buying the best car available.

[Zendo]

If Tesla want to bite the Thai market.. you know they have to do ??!!

Well that is really simple : just start to sell "Piset" series like :> Winnie the pooh, Doraemon or Hello kitty, even Transformers will do !

That will Crush all other brand cars, buyers won't even notice it's an electric one !
