Let's talk about Tesla Model 3's price, seating capacity, battery, range, speed, safety, room in the back and self-driving technology.

Thus, let's look at the 8 key specs of Tesla Model 3 below.

Price

Overall Safety

Tesla engineers say they designed the car specifically to achieve this rating. On the other hand, we can't say that about Model S. See Tesla Model S At Bottom of IIHS Test Results - Again.

0 To 60 Speed

Tesla likes to say it doesn't make slow cars. From a consumer point of view this is important because in many peoples' minds EVs are associated with slow speed. This is not always true. Tesla Model 3 can reach from 0 to 60 in 6 seconds.

Tesla Model 3 provides comfortable driving range. The range per charge is 215 miles. Supercharging is used to charge Model 3 vehicles, but take a look at this new and innovative idea that proposes to charge future Tesla vehicles using a drone while the car is on the go.

Interior Space
