New Tesla Model 3 Debuts: Chiseled Design, 421-Mile Estimated Range

Going over some of the initial announcement videos, seems like a lot of nice additions and improvements. If price remains similar to current Model 3 then this is a really compelling vehicle. Hard to see any competitor EV with the same level of features, range, and a least a bit more refinement.

That range figure is WLTP (euro) rating. Which tends to be higher than US EPA ratings.<p>US ratings are likely to be around 360mi-375mi, vs the current 333mi.<p>Also those ratings are based around averages speeds well below interstate speed. You will probably get about 80% of that EPA range at 75-80mph on the highway.

Carwow seems to have scooped this.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;gQ6zIHHMlSs?si=1TtUYMscDZzXl53L" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;gQ6zIHHMlSs?si=1TtUYMscDZzXl53L</a><p>Must say the amount of improvements is truly impressive.

The new design no longer has a stalk for the turn signal (like most cars), instead getting some capacitive touch buttons. I think that&#x27;s a big downside here.

I wonder how this will affect sales of the Model S. To me the pic in the article looked almost looked identical to a Model S.

2 questions: Will these models still be eligible for the $7500 tax credit, and what will the Performance version be like?

Going for a Pininfarina S.p.A look. Will have to see this in the flesh to form a better opinion.

It looks quite good, getting Roadster vibes from the design.
