If any, the upside of the prototypes of the Tesla Model 3 that has been making the rounds in California and also from its Fremont factory is that the new models really look sleek and stylish and they have all gotten hotter since then.
Tesla Motors has launched in March its Tesla Model 3 sedan, which at $35,000 is certainly far less expensive than its Model S hatchback and its upcoming Model X SUV.
As usual, the biggest lure to buyers when selling electric cars is how much range do the vehicles have before they re-charge. For its competitive price, the Tesla Model 3 can actually cover a distance of over 215 miles on a single charge.
The impressive range of the electric sedan was confirmed no less by Elon Musk. However, the Tesla CEO did not confirm the energy capacity of the battery pack that the Model 3 will be using.
Critics believe that it would really be impressive if Tesla can achieve a range of over 215 miles for the Model 3 on a less than a 60kWh pack.
Tesla does not like to talk about its battery cost because it complicates an already complex supply chain with several suppliers, including long-time partner Panasonic, and new ones like LG and Samsung.
