Currently, the Tesla Model 3 is the best selling EV in the world. The car has become famous for its ludicrous acceleration, but it also comes with a lot of technology. The model is built to last and improve over time. There are three different drivetrains available, including rear-wheel drive, rear-axle drive, and all-wheel drive.
The model comes standard with Autopilot, which is a semi-autonomous driving system that uses adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist. This technology can also help the car make turns, pass slower traffic, and even self-park. In the future, Tesla may provide a full self-driving option.
The model has a lot of technology, and its design is very sleek. The 15-inch touchscreen controls virtually everything in the car. It can even wirelessly charge your phone. The screen is high-res and pin-sharp. However, it may be too distracting while driving.
The model comes with a few standard features, including a full-length glass sunroof, auto-dimming mirrors, and a squab and backrest adjuster. It also comes with a carbon fiber spoiler. The interior is very well-built, and the cabin has a minimalist design. The front seats come with heating and automatic temperature controls. However, there are no AM radios or satellite radios.
The Model 3 also comes with an option for “Full Self-Driving” technology. This feature builds on the Autopilot system to make it easier to navigate and self-park. The system can also be used to move the car from one side of the road to the other.
The Model 3 has a low center of gravity, which makes it very safe to drive. It also has an industry-leading range. The base model can get up to 272 miles of range per charge, while the Long Range version can get up to 340 miles. The Performance model is also available, and it’s rated to get 107 miles per gallon on the highway.
Tesla has a network of over 20,000 charging stations throughout the world. A 120 kilowatt charging station can recharge the car from 10% to 80% in just 30 minutes. The company also offers a CHAdeMO charging adapter for public stations. However, the best public charging options are the Tesla Supercharger network. The company says that owners can access the network for 30 days.
The model is incredibly fast, and it accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds. It also has a 145 mph top speed. The model is well-equipped with standard driver-assist features such as blind-spot warning, automatic emergency braking, and lane-departure warning.
The model is also relatively roomy. It has 23 cubic feet of cargo space. It is also surprisingly comfortable. The front seats and steering wheel offer enough adjustability to customize the feel. However, the Model 3’s suspension isn’t designed to be quick or forgiving of bumps. It does have a good amount of braking power and a low center of gravity, but the suspension isn’t designed for quick handling. The suspension can also be modified to your preferences.
