Tesla CEO Elon Musk took to Twitter to confirm the production of “Unit 1” of Model 3 on Saturday night.
According to reports, it was Ira Ehrenpreis, an investor of Tesla, who should have received this first car. But the company finally decided to present it to Elon Musk as a gift for his 46th birthday (but with a little delay since Elon was born on June 28).
