“The Tesla Model 3 is the first affordable, enjoyable and truly sexy


electric vehicle. Reading about the car is one thing. Driving it is another.


All who do immediately walk away saying, ‘This is the future.’ Unlike the


super-fast but heavy Model S, the Model 3 handles like a dream, with
responsiveness and performance characteristics similar to the BMW

3 Series. We can contemplate a future of emissions-free driving as


Tesla develops solar roof panels for home charging. This technology will


be especially transformative when it evolves from personal cars to


urban fleet vehicles like taxis, buses and trucks.”

Tesla Model 3






Designed by Franz von
Holzhausen, the Model
3, which made its debut in
2017, quickly became the
electric car of choice for
many, a feat due in no small
part to the superb handling
and battery range it had
at launch. Its 2019 update
integrates Tesla’s autopilot
as a standard feature,
cementing the model as the
all-time best-selling plug-in
electric car in the US.
