Pre-orders for the Teslaicon1.png Model 3 will open in March 2016, when the design for the $35,000 electric caricon1.png will be unveiled, CEO Elon Musk announced on Twitter.

Musk is known for being more open on the social media site than just about any other forum, so it's not all that surprising that the news was released this way.

The opening of pre-order books will coincide with the public unveiling of the Model 3, confirming previous statements by Tesla about an early 2016 reveal.

In a follow-on to that tweet, Musk also confirmed that pricing will start at $35,000--the amount discussed in numerous previous statements about the car.

Musk said Model 3 production will start in "about two years," pending completion of Tesla's battery Gigafactory.

The factory--located just outside Reno, Nevada--will be the largest producer of lithium-ion cells in the world when it becomes fully operational, Tesla has said.
