But consumers will have to wait awhile before they actually receive their order.
The company will begin production on the new all-electric car in about two years and pricing will begin at $35,000, Musk said in his tweet.
The new vehicle's price is a far cry from Tesla's other models.
Tesla's Model S begins pricing at $75,000 before gas savings and cash incentives. And it's Model X Signature Series SUV, which is slated to begin shipping at the end of this month, begins pricing at $132,000.
Musk also revealed via Twitter that the regular Model X will be priced $5K more than the Model S, so at about $90,000.
Despite Tesla's high price point, its cars remain very popular.
Model 3, our smaller and lower cost sedan will start production in about 2 years. Fully operational Gigafactory needed.
