Tesla Model 3 specs: new more affordable model comes with a modest $35,000 price tag and some nice features

With all the excitement for the newest Tesla Car - Model 3 being released in 2017, a lot of people are curious of its capabilities and price. After all, the hype for this car has only increased ever since it was first announced almost two years ago.

In the official Tesla website, the company assures everyone that it's their most affordable car yet, with its price starting at $35,000 before incentives. This ensures that this car model will be able to go toe-to-toe against its competitors in the compact executive car market.

As for its capabilities, its rear-drive version has a range of around 215 miles per charge, but according to a review done by the Car and Driver website, with a bigger battery, the range could increase to 300 miles. As for acceleration, Model 3 could go from 0 to 60mph within 6 seconds. Also, in the near future there will be a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive version for this car. Furthermore, it allows seating for 5 adults, which makes it a good car for both individuals or families.

The website also guarantees that the Model 3 achieves a five-star crash-test rating in all respects while its Autopilot hardware will still be standard. This ensures consistently safe travel for this Tesla car model.

In any case, the Tesla website also offers reservations for the Model 3 for $1,000. According to a report done by the Auto Express, just two days after its reveal there were already 276,000 pre-orders for it, which attests to the palpable demand for it.

Tesla Model 3 has always been part of its company's master plan, according to Auto Express, with Tesla Roadster setting off as a means of compelling the world of the magnificence of electric vehicles. It was low-volume and pretty expensive. Then came Model S, which was intended to show that electric cars could be practical, with both its production and price at the middle of "expensive" and "cheap". Finally, comes Model 3, a mass-produced electric car that ensured affordability without sacrificing quality.
