Tesla opens website for online reservations in Korea

Tesla Motors has begun taking online reservations in Korea for its electric cars, Model S, Model X, and Model 3, the company said Friday.

With a deposit of 2 million won ($1,800) for the Model S, 5 million won for Model X and 1 million won for model 3, customers can make a reservation, it said in the first statement released for Korean press.

“Korean customers have already shown a great interest in Tesla through reservations for Model 3,” it said. The model 3 is a Tesla electric vehicle that will be available starting at $35,000 in 2017.

Test drives of the Model S in Korea will be available at its retail stores and events at the end of this year, the US carmaker said, without naming the location of stores. The model X will be showcased at the beginning of 2017, it added.
