The Tesla Model 3 is an electric four-door luxury sedan manufactured and marketed by Tesla, Inc. The 2018 Tesla Model 3 is an all-new model. The “affordable” Tesla sedan, as it’s often called, has a starting price of $35,000 before incentives. The 2018 Tesla Model 3 base model has an estimated range of 220 miles and will go from 0 to 60 mph in 5.6 seconds, according to Tesla. An optional battery pack is available for $9,000 that increases range to 310 miles and drops the 0-60-mph time to 5.1 seconds. In terms of size, the Tesla measures 184.8 inches long, 56.8 inches high and 72.8 inches wide. That makes the Model 3 similar to an Audi A4 or BMW 3 Series. There are 15 cubic feet of trunk space, again similar to what other entry-level luxury cars offer.

There is no traditional instrument cluster, so all functions are controlled and monitored through the center screen.

A separate Autopilot options package ($5,000) is required to unlock most of those features, including adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist and remote parking. Tesla says that another package can be added on top of that for $3,000 to bring full autonomous capabilities, although the actual implementation of it has yet to be finalized.
