The Tesla Model 3 will be unveiled in March 2016.
The Tesla Model 3 will be unveiled in March 2016. The Model 3 will serve as the American electric vehicle maker’s third model in its lineup after the Model X.
Currently, the only model on offer by the American car maker is the Model S.
The Tesla Model 3 has been in the works for quite some time now. Codenamed Tesla BlueStar, the car will target the the compact executive sedan market currently populated by cars such as the BMW 3 Series, Mercedes Benz C- Class and the Audi A4. Most details of the upcoming electric sedan remain elusive. However, the Model 3 is expected to provide upto 200 miles (320 km) of range and will be priced somewhere around the 35000 USD mark (before incentives). The surprisingly low cost of the upcoming EV will allow Tesla to aggressively compete against its more mainstream rivals.
The Tesla Model X will be a full-size crossover.
Unlike the Model X and Model S however, Elon Musk stated that the EV producer’s upcoming sedan will not sport radical styling. The Tesla CEO stated that due to the development of both the Model X and the Gigafactory, the manufacturer may not invest a great deal of money on the first generation Model 3’s styling. Despite this however, the Model 3 is expected to significantly differ from Tesla’s current range in terms of design. The entry level Tesla sedan is expected to make its global debut at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show. Rumors suggest that Tesla may work on a crossover variant of the Model 3 as well. Before the Model 3’s launch, Tesla will be unveiling the Model X, the automaker’s first crossover. The full-size crossover is expected launch within this year.
Tesla claim that the upcoming Model 3 will differ significantly from the Model S and Model X in terms of design.
