Elon Musk just revealed when Tesla is going to start making its most affordable model yet

Tesla fans will be able finally pre-order the Tesla Model 3 in March when the company unveils the new car, the company's CEO Elon Musk revealed in tweet on Wednesday. 

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.
