The Tesla Model 3 is one of the most anticipated vehicles in this year 2017, since it promises to bring the luxury of sedans like Mercedes and Audi to electric vehicles, with a similar price.
This vehicle is an electric car from the Tesla brand, a brand that has become very popular lately and has millions of sales a year in its cars. The Tesla Model 3 is going to be its flagship product and one of the best.
When this car was presented, many were left with their mouths open and are already looking forward to reserving it to have it the same day it is released. The reasons are that it is going to be a powerful vehicle, an aesthetic vehicle and an efficient vehicle to circulate and that of course respects the environment, since electric cars do not pollute.
This car hides many secrets , which can be revealed if you analyze its features thoroughly, features that are undoubtedly surprising for the price of this vehicle.
For this reason, today we are going to show you everything that the Tesla Model 3 has, so that in this way you can know a little more about it and that this car stops being a secret for you. So pay close attention, because today we are going to explain it to you in depth and easily, so that you understand it.
Tesla Model 3 Instructions
- Estimated release date: This car has not yet been released, but we simply know about it because it has been presented throughout the past year, being one of the most anticipated cars of the year. We will have to wait a little longer to be able to enjoy the Tesla Model 3, since it is scheduled to come out at the end of 2017, that is, we are still going to have to wait a little longer to get our hands on this car. In addition, you have to add a couple more months for it to arrive in Spain, unless you do not mind paying the import fee for the vehicle from the United States. In addition, as I have said before, the departure date is estimated, that is, it may be subject to some changes, such as that there is a change in policy in Tesla or that there is an accident or revision of a system that the vehicle has. Anyway, you’ll find out when that happens.
- Electric car and autonomy: This vehicle is not a conventional vehicle, since it is a vehicle that does not have a combustion engine, but rather has a high-capacity electric motor. The electric motor runs on electrical current at all possible amperages and voltages, which is certainly great news for everyone. In addition, it can be charged in Tesla superchargers, which offer a very fast charge, which avoids long stops on the highways. Another thing to highlight is the autonomy of the battery, which is about 350 kilometers in the basic package which comes with the car. An extended battery pack for the most travelers will also be offered, which is expected to have about 500 km of autonomy, something that is undoubtedly impressive.
- Design and concept: Like the rest of Tesla’s vehicles, they are going to try to make an attractive design, which is not like the old electric cars that were quite ugly. In this case, a luxury saloon-style design will be made, a design similar to the Mercedes C class, being a car with luxury design and features at a good price, similar to that offered by cars in that range. Tesla thus continues with the concept of making an electric car as adapted as possible to people, both in design and in capacity and power, a concept that has led it to become a leading company in the automobile market in just a few few years.
- Loading: As I said before, loading the charger is a very important concept that must be treated with care. In the past, electric cars had big problems in this sector, since they had little autonomy and also few places available to charge them, with a long duration. In this case, we will be able to charge the car all over the world, adapting to all kinds of voltages, plugs and amperages. The Tesla supercharger also stands out, which allows you to charge the car much faster, in a very short time and without having to wait long hours like in standard plugs.
- This is going to be one of those Tesla cars that is going to have an autopilot feature, which is one of the most advanced in the world. This function turns the Tesla Model 3 into a self-driving vehicle, which can handle itself in most functions of a normal vehicle. Tesla also usually updates it often, adapting it to all kinds of situations. From Tesla they have promised that by the end of the year, they will be able to travel throughout the United States without giving a single touch, that is, an absurdity of kilometers. However, there is still a long way to go, since at the moment these vehicles still depend on a human being to supervise the operation of the vehicle. For example, when you drive on a highway, you must watch that the car does not go over the speed limit (Tesla has it limited to 120 km/h to avoid accidents) and activate the emergency brake or turn in case of emergency, that is, to be more or less attentive to the road even if you are not driving.
- Price and extras: The vehicle is going to have a very competitive price, which is planned to be more or less at the same level as the rest of the luxury sedans on the market. The price will be approximately from $35,000 in the most basic range, that is, it will be very, very competitive for a vehicle of such quality, with more than 300 horsepower in its most basic range. In addition to that, Tesla is not going to stop there, since we are going to have some extras that will allow us to enjoy it even more, after paying a greater amount of money, but it is worth it. Let’s see the extras a little more in depth.
- Expandable battery pack: We have already talked about this above talking about the battery and it is one of the most important pieces. In this case, we are going to have an expansion of the battery, greatly increasing its autonomy with more than 500 kilometers of autonomy so far, although even more powerful batteries could be manufactured. At the moment, 500 kilometers is an enormous autonomy, even greater than the gasoline tanks of cars, something that is undoubtedly a great achievement and that seemed impossible for many years.
- Active Suspension: Active Suspension is a suspension that works in a more intelligent way than the standard suspension. The way in which it is better is because it is able to control the damping of each wheel separately, thus adapting it to the way of driving of each one and the terrain where you drive. At the moment the price of this extra is unknown, however, I imagine that it is at most for a couple of thousand euros more, something that is undoubtedly worth it.
- 4×4 drive: What we do know is the price of the 4-wheel drive of the Tesla, which is $5,000 more than the base price of the car. This extra allows the car to drive on rough terrain without any problem, something that will allow us to drive through mountains and other places. Of course, four-wheel drive will surely slightly increase consumption and therefore reduce the autonomy of the vehicle a bit, although not too many details are known about it.
- Trailer hitch: The trailer hitch is the simplest extra and is probably very cheap, since the only thing that is special about it is that it allows you to tow and hitch a trailer to the rear of the vehicle. The price of the extra is not yet known, however, I imagine that it does not exceed three figures on the low side, even two figures.
- Synthetic leather upholstery: Finally we can have a leather upholstery in the car, something that will undoubtedly give the vehicle a higher quality and aesthetics. Of course, it is synthetic leather, since Tesla’s policies prevent using animal skin for this. This company is one of the most committed to the environment (Electric cars do not pollute) and for this reason, they do not harm animals either, so this can be a great incentive to buy these vehicles, since it will also help you protect the environment.
Tips for Tesla Model 3
- Other Tesla vehicles: Tesla is a great company that has been with electric cars for a few years now. For this reason, we must take into account the other vehicles that the company sells, models that have fulfilled the objective of adapting to the needs of various people looking for different types of vehicles. Maybe you like these vehicles more than the Model 3, since they are surely better suited to your needs. We are going to see the three models that we like the most from Tesla.
- Model X: The model X is a vehicle that adapts to the needs of people who want a family vehicle, since it is a 7-seater car and it also has great power, from 300 horsepower in its lowest range. Its price is similar to that of other SUV vehicles and it is also a car that has a lot of autonomy, good aesthetics and that you are going to love.
- Model S: The Model S is Tesla’s flagship model and the best known. This vehicle is let’s say a clone of a Jaguar, since it is very similar on the outside, but very different on the inside, since it is a very powerful electric car, with a very advanced autopilot and with great autonomy. The best thing is that you can buy it up to 700 horsepower in the highest range of the vehicle. This gives us impressive acceleration, much higher than that of gasoline vehicles and gives us a powerful, safe sports car at a very attractive price in most cases. of the cases.
