Tesla

I bring to your attention the publication from the site auto.mail.ru.
In the US, the premiere of the serial version of the new "Tesla", which was called Model 3. We tell all the most interesting about this model and talk about prices

1. Ilon Mask is confident that this will be the most popular "Tesla".
   

2. The length of Tesla 3 is 4694 mm. That is, it is slightly smaller than, for example, Mazda 6, but more BMW 3-Series. If you compare the novelty with the already sold Tesla S, then the exterior of the car does not differ too much, especially in the profile. However, you need to understand - in a large Tesla S can sit 7 people (two children in the trunk), and in the "troika" only five seats.

3. The salon is high-tech. No "old school" devices and even keys - all information is displayed on a large 15-inch screen (but there is a difference with Tesla S, which has a 17-inch screen). With him, you must manage the systems of the car. It looks fashionable, but at once we say - in our experience, it is not very convenient. But there are two boxes for wireless charging of phones.
   

4. There are two trunks. One is in front, and the other is behind. The total volume is 435 liters (which is not so much).

5. While the car is only with rear-wheel drive. But in 2018 there will also be all-wheel drive versions!
   

6. The dynamics are good. According to Ilona Mask, 0-60 mph (96 km / h) the car will accelerate in 5.1-5.6 seconds depending on the modification. And the mileage on one charge will be 352-496 km. But if you compare with Tesla S, then these figures look modest. After all, the "esque" is able to gain a hundred for 2.5 s, and the maximum mileage it reaches up to 536 km.

7. The price. In the US, the car will cost $ 35 thousand. For comparison, the BMW 3 Series in the States sells for $ 33,450. However - and this is important - in the US prices are always indicated without taxes that depend on the state (5-10 percent should be added immediately ). In addition, Tesla decided to take $ 1200 for the delivery of the car.

And further. 35 thousand is just the beginning. In $ 9 thousand will cost a battery of increased capacity (at first the car will be sold only with them). A package of "improving the cabin" with a glass roof, good "music", armchairs with 12 adjustments and other - $ 5 thousand. "Semiautopilot" - another $ 5 thousand. And already now Ilon Mask is asking three thousand dollars for the potential to install an advanced autopilot, which will allow the car to drive itself. True, when he appears, they do not speak now. There is no information about when the problem with the law will be solved: now the laws require that the control of the driver's control should be carried out by the driver.
