The Tesla Model 3<\/strong> is designed to offer excellent electric performance. Since the first deliveries in France and Europe in early 2019, orders are multiplying and setting new records. Thus, it becomes the best-selling electric car in Europe. Discover the characteristics, the price, as well as the performances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Classy and comfortable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Revealed in March 2016, the design of the Model 3 is inspired by the Model S. Apart from that, it is a family sedan with coupe-like lines, which, from the front, looks like a Porsche. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It marks its difference with specific characteristics. Indeed, its lines are both elegant and pure, less aggressive and more rounded. Its large tinted glass roof is made in one piece. From the windshield to the rear of the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond the aesthetics, this roof brings a better aerodynamics. It offers more space, ensures good luminosity in the passenger compartment, and protection against UV rays. As for the side mirrors, they are heated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The interior of the Model 3, with its minimalist aesthetic, breaks the codes and is completely different from other vehicles in the automotive industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, the interior of the Tesla Model 3 is spacious and offers enough room for 5 passengers, without being cramped. All Model 3s have five seats. In the front, they are heated, electric, and adjustable in twelve positions. There are several driver profiles available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The advanced dashboard, features a steering wheel, and a huge 15-inch central touchscreen. It’s designed to improve over time. In addition, remote software updates bring new features and improved performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the Model 3 stands out thanks to its technological advances. It is a truly connected vehicle. Indeed, it can be controlled via the Tesla manufacturer’s<\/a> application. And this, from any smartphone or tablet iOS and Android. Thus, everything or almost everything is automated and provides a driving comfort resolutely high-end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which Tesla Model 3 to choose ?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In Europe, the Model 3 was first offered in its most expensive versions. But Tesla quickly added a less expensive version. Today, the Model 3 is available in three versions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Model 3 formerly known as “Standard Plus”<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Tesla’s Model 3 is configured in rear-wheel drive, for a range of 491km in WLTP cycle. (510 km with the standard 18\u2033 wheels). It reaches 0 to 100k\/h in 6.1 seconds. Its maximum top speed is 225km\/h.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tesla Model 3 ” Long Range “<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This model is equipped with a Dual Motor all-wheel drive system. It sends approximately 350 horsepower, for a 0 to 100 km\/h in 4.4 seconds and a top speed of 233 km\/h. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the range side, the Model 3 “Long Range” can now travel 602 kilometers on a charge according to the WLTP certification cycle. (638 km with the standard 18\u2033 wheels).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tesla Model 3 “Performance”<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As for the unbridled “Performance” version, it is the most extreme of the range. Based on the same battery as the “Long Range” version, it offers a range of 547km (WLTP). The “Performance” version boasts 450 horsepower, for an acceleration from 0 to 100 km\/h in 3.3 seconds, and a top speed of 261 km\/h.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlimited travel : the autonomy of the Model 3<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As you know, Tesla’s Model 3 is 100% electric. No more stops at gas stations. Plug your car in at home overnight, so you can leave each morning with a full charge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What more could you want? But beware, not all versions have the same capacities, nor the same autonomy. The values have been approved according to the WLTP mixed approval cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, for the base version “Model 3” formerly called “Standard Plus” with 19\u2033 rims, its range is 491km (510km with 18\u2033 rims). For the “Long Range” version with 19\u2033 rims, 602km of autonomy (638 km with 18\u2033 rims). Finally, 547km of autonomy for the Tesla Model 3 Performance<\/strong> with 20\u2033 rims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good surprise comes from the fuel consumption. Thanks to its sedan-like profile and careful aerodynamics, the Model 3 “Long Range” easily stays under 19 kWh\/100 km on the highway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In normal driving, and without hard acceleration, at a speed of 130 km\/h. In urban\/country driving, without exceeding 100km\/h, the consumption is actually lower than announced, around 128\/130 kWh\/km. Nevertheless, when the temperatures are lower, the consumption increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lithium-ion battery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tesla has designed the entire structure of its vehicles around the batteries. Indeed, they are installed under the floor, in the center, and help the car to handle well. The company does not officially communicate on the capacity of the Model 3’s batteries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2021, the announced figures were 55kWh, against 60 kWh for the Model 3 in 2022, and up to 82 kWh for the latest versions of the “Long Range” and “Performance” models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The batteries are optimized to create one of the most energy-efficient vehicles. In fact, Tesla offers an energy recovery system. That is to say, each time you slow down or brake, the energy recovered is sent to the battery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may not seem like much, but the energy gain is still interesting for everyday use. Finally, for a 15-minute quick charge on the Supercharger network, recharge up to 275 km.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Autopilot: autonomous driving<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are many features and options available in the Tesla Model 3. The “Autopilot Standard” option is one of them and offers a few extra features. Indeed, the Autopilot allows your vehicle to maintain a trajectory, accelerate, and brake automatically in its lane. This option is charged at \u20ac3800. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, this feature requires active monitoring by the driver, and does not make the vehicle autonomous. Finally, at a price of 7500 \u20ac, you can add the recognition and reaction to traffic signs and stop lights. Note that Autopilot may in the future be offered in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
