The latter two cars are aimed at the pretty rich but now Tesla is starting to write a new chapter in its history. Yesterday was the grand reveal of the long-awaited Model 3, the first mass market Tesla car for the middle class. The new model achieves a range of 215 miles (346km) and is priced at $35,000.
It has seating for five adults, goes from zero to 60mph in under 6 seconds, has a full glass roof, a 15-inch touchscreen supercharging support and autopilot safety features. Car enthusiasts interested in getting one can reserve a Model 3 for $1,000 but deliveries aren't expected to start until late 2017. Incredibly, Tesla has already taken 150,000 pre-orders for the car!
