The Tesla Model 3 is a battery-electric mid-size sedan with a
fastback body style manufactured by Tesla, Inc. in 2017. The Model 3 was
marketed as more affordable to more people than previous Tesla models. The
Model 3 was the world’s best-selling plug-in electric car for three years, from
2018 to 2020, before the Tesla Model Y, a crossover SUV based on the Model 3
chassis, knocked it off the top spot. In June 2021, the Model 3 became the
first electric car to pass 1 million global sales. A refresh of the Tesla Model
3 was introduced in 2023, featuring a revised exterior and interior.
On February 28, 2019, Tesla announced the availability of the
highly anticipated standard range trim for $35,000 (equivalent to $40,061 in
2022). However, on April 12, 2019, Tesla announced that the Standard Range
model would no longer be available to order online, but would only be available
over the phone or in stores. Autopilot, previously a $3,000 option, is included
in all but the standard range of Model 3 versions, with each version increasing
in price by just $2,000. In February 2019, the Model 3 passed the Chevrolet
Volt to become the all-time best-selling plug. -Electric car sales in the US
Model 3 overtook the Nissan Leaf in early 2020 to become the world’s best-selling
plug-in electric car.
