According to last prediction of Elon Musk it can come after production in July, when they open online configurator. According to previous Musk’s announcements, final reveal also known as “Part 3”, was previously expected for next month or at least April, but he has now apparently changed the plans.

He now ways it will “probably” happen after the Model 3 production starts in July since the first vehicles will go to employees and the configuration will open around the same time. As Electrek reported at the end of 2016, there are over 10,000 reservations from SpaceX and Tesla employees, who are going to be the first to get their orders. At the same time Tesla would hold the final reveal of the Model 3 and open the online configurator to non-employee reservation holders, Musk says.
