Tesla Model 3

The Tesla Model 3 is an electric sedan that comes with a rigid structure, impact protection, and low rollover risk.  This car has already been launched overseas and the Indian market is also expecting it soon. With this model, Tesla is most likely to debut in the world’s third-largest car market sometime in the near future. Also, with the rate, at which manufacturers are preparing to launch their electric vehicles in India, it seems that EVs are here to stay.

Here is an overview of this upcoming Tesla car’s specifications and features.

Tesla Model 3 Engine and Other Specifications

Under the hood, the international-spec Tesla Model 3 boasts two electric motors in total, depending on the trims or variant. The combined horsepower lies between 283bhp to 450bhp, with power being sent to all the wheels with an automatic transmission. The manufacturer is expected to offer this car with several battery specifications perhaps a smaller setup and a bigger one. There shall be a variant with a 75kWh battery pack, covering as much as 500km on a single charge.

The car shall have an all-wheel-drive system to offer an exhilarating and stable driving experience. It is expected to achieve an acceleration of 0-100 km/h within 3-4 seconds, offering quicker pickup from a standstill. The top speed of the vehicle is also said to be thrilling, at nearly 260 km/h.

The internationally sold model comes with an autopilot feature that offers the feasibility of navigating the vehicle effortlessly. Through this feature, parking in narrow spaces becomes easier as you do not need to open the doors after you have parked. Furthermore, the Tesla Model 3 should also be equipped with an advanced suspension system for smooth driving. The braking setup shall also be top-notch, offering precise stopping power.

Tesla Model 3 Exterior

The above-shown car is Tesla’s most affordable offering and is expected to be their first product for the Indian market. By the looks of it, the Model 3 looks simple, elegant, and almost timeless. There are no sporty bits to speak of, although the design would catch the fancy of elegant saloon seekers. The front end looks good with a set of full-LED headlamps and a vertical cut-out for fog lamps. The absence of a grille, though, surely hints at this being an electric offering. The side is very plain too. The large 19-inch wheels, however, look good and fill the arches very well. The roof flows in nicely towards the raised boot, giving the car a coupe-like stance.

Tesla Model 3 Interior

Inside, the Tesla Model 3 shall be as uncluttered as it gets. The main highlight – except there’s virtually nothing else in the cabin – is the huge touchscreen mounted on the dashboard. It would be the hub to control almost everything inside.

Tesla Model 3 Safety Features

As mentioned earlier, this Tesla car is sure to be a safe car because of its rigid structure. It is also said to have achieved a five-star safety rating. Furthermore, the positioning of the battery pack would reduce the rollover risk and side sill panels would offer impact protection. The car shall also have advanced airbags and crumple zones, to protect passengers in the event of a collision.

Tesla Model 3 Launch Date and Expected Price

Expect the Model 3 to set you back by as much as Rs. 70 lakhs if it launches as a CBU unit. It might be launched in 2025, competing with the BMW iX1, Volvo C40 Recharge, and Mercedes-Benz EQB. Since Tesla has zero production plants in the country, expect the Model 3 to debut as a CBU unit. It might also come as a CKD unit, with plans of a joint venture or the setup of a production plant. Either way, if it’s anything related to Tesla, it’ll be here.
