Features, Price and Specs of Tesla Model 3 Electric car

Tesla had unveiled its new electric car – Model 3. There are about 300,000 people made reservations for this new car.

This could be ridiculous for a car that we don’t really know all that much about. Not it’s really easy to reserve, all you have to do is give Tesla $1,000 fully refundable deposit back at any time you get your money back. So I definitely expect that number to drop some when it’s time to actually fork over the money for the car.

Almost 300,000 people maying $1,000 for a car they don’t really know much about is still very very impressive. This is also part 1 of this electric car. And part 2 gonna take place much closer to production. Elon said it’s going to take it to the next level whatever the heck that means. I’m assuming that just shows what kind of options in the car and maybe some more than inside a pilot features that don’t exist at the moment.

Unveil part 1 - waiting for part 2

We also probably get a look at the final exterior design and the final interior design as well as the real steering system as is on Twitter Elon Musk said that the steering system that we saw at the first unveiling is not the real steering system, which is interesting.

But after part 2 of the reveal, they expect reservations to shoot up even higher. Now I’m pretty happy with my current car so I was planning on waiting until the Model 3 was released before considering. I was really expecting it to look that great because cheaper electric cars typically look like some horrible attempt at a futuristic design.

So sort of expecting the Model 3 not look nearly as nice as the Model S and I think Tesla did a really good job here with the design.

The combination of its looks and features are convinced me to get it right now and reserve my spot now. I don’t end up.

Now let take a look at price.

The base Model 3 is going to be $35,000 before the federal tax credit. That’s important because a lot of car companies including Tesla advertiser base price after tax credit, so it’s a little confusing trying to figure out how much you’re actually going to pay for the car the end of the day. The Model 3 qualifies for the $7,500 federal tax credit. That $7,500 only applies to the first 200,000 cars delivered. (Tax credit phase-out begin after the 200,000 Tesla is delivered (includes Roadster, Model S, Model X or Model 3).

It’ll stay $7,500 to the next quarter after that financial quarter gets had another quarter and then it gets have to get into down 25% and then it’s gone forever after that point. So soon, they’re actually 276,000 people getting this car, the tax credits can last very long on it. It’s that about boring tax stuff

$35,000 for the base Model 3, what does that include?

That includes a battery that will get you at least 215 miles, it includes a single motor in the back so its rear wheel drive from 0 – 60 MPH in little bit under 6 seconds and includes autopilot hardware and autopilot safety features – that’s the key safety features. I’ll talk more about that in a second. It includes supercharging capable – again note the word choice. Really cool rear glass window that they’ve been shown on the unveil event.

Now let take a look at autopilot system. Tesla said that it includes auto pilot safety features, not the convenience features, so safety features includes something like emergency braking someone slams on the front of car and you can able to stop in time; probably lane keep in cruise control so if you start to trek to the push back and probably active speed management with cruise control so that means your phone car
