There is such a car. If you want to own it, you must first pay a deposit of 8,000, and then wait at home for a year or two before paying the final payment to pick up the car. You may think this is a bit tricky, but there are 500,000 people waiting with you just to buy this new Tesla medium-sized electric car, MODEL 3.
On March 31 last year, Tesla MODEL 3 was first released worldwide and pre-sales were launched. Now, the first batch of 30 MODEL 3s have been officially delivered, but unfortunately these 30 MODEL 3s have been sold to Tesla employees. However, Tesla claims that as the factory's production capacity gradually increases, it will deliver 100 MODEL 3s next month, 1,500 in September, and 20,000 in December, and will start to strive to remove 10,000 cars every week next year.
Of course, since MODEL 3 has accepted 500,000 orders, if you want to buy a car now, you probably have to wait until the end of next year to pick it up.
Tesla MODEL 3 starts at $35,000 in the US market. According to Tesla's tone of never increasing prices in the Chinese market, the domestic price is likely to be around $35,000 (about 236,700 yuan) plus nearly 30% of customs duties, value-added tax, transportation and loading fees, etc. At this price, you can buy BMW 320i or Mercedes-Benz C200.
However, if you don’t buy 320i for 350,000 yuan, buy MODEL 3, and then wait for more than a year, is it worth it?
MODEL 3 is currently the smallest model in Tesla's product series. Its body size is similar to the current luxury brand's standard-axle version mid-size models, with length, width and height of 4694mm, 1849mm and 1443mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2875mm. In addition, MODEL 3 has a lower positioning than MODEL X and MODEL S, and can popularize more consumers. Instead of using the all-aluminum body of MODEL X and MODEL S, it uses a mixed aluminum alloy and steel material.
Its battery capacity is lower, but the new battery has a higher energy density. The two models of MODEL 3 have a range of 354km and 499km respectively. The entry-level model uses a super charging pile to charge, and the amount charged every 30 minutes can travel about 209km, while the higher-level version increases this number to 273km. If you use a home charging pile to charge, the entry-level model can only travel about 48km for an hour, and the higher version is 60km. The center console of
is extremely simple, using a horizontal 15-inch central control LCD display. The steering wheel has a unique shape and does not even have a traditional instrument panel. However, in terms of technological configuration, MODEL 3 is still relatively rich. Like MODEL S/MODEL X, it has wireless connection and intelligent assisted driving system, which helps you pay attention to road conditions in real time through signals such as sound and display, and enhances driving safety.
rear seats support four or six folding ratios, and the volume of the front and rear trunks is 400L. Due to the more reasonable space layout of pure electric vehicles, the rear floor is completely flat, the leg space and foot space are large, and the full glass roof makes the interior lighting very good. In terms of configuration of
, the $35,000 entry-level model is equipped with a 15-inch touch screen, 7 cameras and 12 radar sensors, WiFi wireless network, reverse image, dual-zone automatic air conditioning and other configurations. However, the assisted driving function requires a $5,000 option, and the more powerful fully autonomous driving capability requires an additional $3,000 on this basis.
In terms of power, the current official 0-96km/h acceleration time of Tesla MODEL 3 entry-level version is 5.6 seconds, and the higher version is 0-96km/h acceleration time of 5.1 seconds. In addition, unlike MODEL S/MODEL X free use of super charging piles, MODEL 3 needs to be charged per number of times.
Unlike traditional auto manufacturers, Tesla, as a new new energy brand, its models are more intelligent. Bring people a brand new driving experience and personalized feeling. For example, conventional fuel vehicles have many restrictions on vehicle hardware, but MODEL series models can be upgraded through wireless signal transmission, thereby improving the vehicle's acceleration or endurance. The launch of
MODEL 3 further lowered the threshold for smart electric vehicles, and it will allow more people to feel a brand new way of travel. Moreover, with the rapid development of Chinese smart car brands such as Chehejia and NIO , they will jointly drive cars toward an era of smarter and more humane.(Article from the old driver news guy)
