UPDATE: The image comes from this video of the Model X, but the pictured car has a different front fascia than that electric crossover. It’s possible that this is a prototype or a styling buck for the Model X, as the production version lacks this vehicle’s black “grille.” We won’t have to wait too much longer to know what the actual Model 3 will look like, however; stay tuned for more info.
Can’t wait for Tesla to officially reveal its all-new Model 3 this evening" Here’s a preview: a photo on Instagram that seems to show this hugely important EV. While the image is blurry, the Model 3 may occupy a sort of middle ground between the sleek Model S hatchback and the taller Model X crossover.
Tesla won’t pull the covers off the Model 3 until late tonight, but we have heard some tidbits about this new model. It’s rumored to have a starting cost around $35,000 before tax benefits, a bargain compared with the $71,200?$109,200 Model S and the $81,200?$116,700 Model X. Range estimates sit at roughly 200 miles as standard equipment, with a possible 80-kWh battery upgrade potentially increasing that number to 300 miles.
