Cars Culture HubOverview
Tesla has single-handedly transformed the electric car landscape,
and the Model 3 is the least expensive way to get one of the company’s
technological marvels in your driveway. A four-door sedan roughly the same size
as the BMW 3-Series, the Model 3 has a fast-paced and futuristic-forward,
minimalist interior. A number of battery configurations are available, and all
versions are rated to go more than 200 miles on a single charge. The long-range
model claims a range of 322 miles. In our testing, the performance model went
from zero to 60 miles per hour in a lightning-fast 3.5 seconds. While the Model
3 is the cheapest Tesla you can buy, the $36,200 standard-range model is only
available by special order at physical Tesla stores. The most expensive version
available for ordering online is the $39,190 Standard Range Plus.
What is new for 2020?
Tesla updates its vehicles with over-the-air software tweaks and
occasional new mechanical parts, but the company doesn’t make changes to its
vehicles based on a traditional model year. As a result, we can’t predict what
changes the Model 3 might see in the coming months, and the company won’t tell
us much about what the future holds in terms of updates. The Model 3 recently
added features like lane keep assist and standard Autopilot capability (the
company’s name for its autonomous driving feature), and now the extra charge is
via the company’s upgraded V3 supercharger network. Has the ability to do so.
