Tesla Model 3

Tesla Model 3 Overview

Tesla Model 3 is the company's most affordable vehicle on the international market. The Model 3 has the appearance of a sports car but the dimensions of a sedan. The EV has a large battery, a good range of about 500 kilometres, and a slew of amenities. It will most likely arrive in India as a CBU, but Tesla is in talks with the Indian government to obtain tax benefits similar to those offered to other EVs in the country.

Tesla Model 3: Battery Specifications
The Model 3 is expected to come with two battery packs: 50 kWh and 75 kWh. On a full charge, the smaller battery can give a range of 350 kilometres and can accelerate from a standstill to 100 kilometres per hour in 5.6 seconds. The top speed is 210 kilometres per hour. The battery can be charged to 210km range in around 30 minutes with a supercharger added. The larger 75kWh battery pack can travel 500 kilometres on a single charge, accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometres per hour in 5.1 seconds, and reach a top speed of 225 kilometres per hour. In terms of charging time, Tesla Superchargers can charge the Model 3's battery to the point where it can travel 281 kilometres in 15 minutes. A regular charging point, on the other hand, will take roughly 20 hours to fully charge the battery, whereas a 7 kW charger will take around 8.5 hours.

Tesla Model 3: Design and Features
The Model 3's exterior features sweptback LED headlamps and tail lights. The international model has an all-glass top and a comparable rear design to its siblings. The car will have the same 18-inch alloy wheels as the global spec variant, as well as an A-pillar mounted ORVM, rear-reflectors, and an optional body kit.
At the interior, the Tesla Model 3 features a big 15.4-inch touchscreen panel  in the dashboard that serves as an entertainment system, doubles as an instrument console, as an nav-sat control, air-con control and provides access to all car-related functions; all-black leather seating, a panoramic sunroof, and wooden dashboard accents.

Tesla Model 3: Price and Launch
The launch of Tesla Model 3 is expected to be around end of 2022. Tesla will launch the first set of automobiles as CBUs, and the brand is pushing the Indian government for tax breaks on completely imported electric vehicles. The company is unlikely to bring the vehicles in until the issue is resolved. The price of Tesla Model 3 will be higher due to the CBU route. The Tesla Model 3 starts around $38,000 in the United States, which is similar to Rs. 27.88 lakh in India. The Model 3 is expected to cost round Rs 60 lakh to Rs 75 lakh in India.
