LOS ANGELES — On Thursday night, at an invitation-only, Hollywood-style premiere on his Space X campus outside Los Angeles, Elon Musk and his Tesla team will unveil their latest creation: the Model 3, Musk’s long-awaited electric car for the masses.

Few details have been revealed so far, but the car is essentially a scaled-down, half-priced version of Tesla’s $70,000 Model S. The newest product from Musk’s Fremont, Calif., car factory represents Musk’s dream of bringing affordable, pollution-free transportation to a world he sees choking to death on its own fumes.

Tesla has said the car will travel up to 200 miles on a single, plug-in electric charge, and will retail from as low as $35,000. Qualified buyers could receive up to $10,000 in federal and state sales incentives, rebates or tax breaks.

The car, which has not been shown to the public nor reviewed by the automotive media, is not yet in production. Early adopters who plunk down cash to reserve the first models won’t receive them until at least December 2017 — and it could be a lot longer than that. Tesla’s Model X was delayed more than 18 months.
