Yesterday, Tesla announced a new budget car, the Model 3, effectively an older brother to the more expensive Model S. Due to release in 2017 at $35,000, the Model 3 has already raked up 232,000 reservations (pre-orders essentially) each costing $1000. The electric car features 5 seats, an efficiency of 215 miles per charge with super-charging technology, auto-pilot features and 5-star safety standards.
It can go from 0-60 miles in 6 seconds, which is impressive in itself. Just like the Model S, the Tesla Model 3 will come in both rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations, with both featuring the trademark 15-inch touchscreen inside, autopilot, and exceptional safety standards. There’s still time before we see the Model 3 on the road sometime in 2017, and it will be interesting to see what color preferences and configurations people go for, and how much each one finally costs.
Speaking of design. the Model 3 features a full glass roof and white leather seats that will definitely catch your eye as you enter. With its killer features and new technology all for an affordable price tag, the Tesla Model 3 will definitely receive a lot of attention, and with the company expanding their market to the likes of India for the Model 3, they are bound to get new customers.
The future definitely looks bright for Tesla, but can they manage to revolutionize car technology with their release? Or is there still time until success fully arrives? Let us know in the comments below!
