Elon Musk is now the proud owner of his company’s first mass market electric car.
Musk showed off the first Tesla Model 3 vehicle on Twitter and Instagram over the weekend, sharing pictures of the shiny new four-door sedan parked in front of Tesla’s production plant in Fremont, California.
Tesla board member Ira Ehrenpreis was the first person to pony up the full deposit for a Model 3, and had rights to the first production unit. But he gifted it to the company’s billionaire founder as a present on his 46th birthday, Musk said.
