Tesla Model 3: Elon Musk Rolls Out Mass Market Model
BBC NEWS ^ | 07/29/2017 | BBC NEWS

Electric car maker Tesla has rolled out its new Model 3 vehicle - the company's cheapest car to date.

The first 30 customers - most of them employees of the company - received their cars on Friday.

Chief executive Elon Musk said the Model 3 was the "best car for its cost, either electric or gasoline".

Prices start at $35,000 (£26,650), which the firm hopes will bring mass market interest.

The price is still higher than that of rival electric car the Nissan Leaf, which starts at $30,680, or the hybrid Chevrolet Volt, which goes for $34,095.

Yeah, because I never see Tesla’s when I’m out and about.

(That’s sarcasm. I see them all the time)

And you can get a 170 mile recharge in 30 minutes.

So I can fill up and go 300 miles in 5 minutes. In a race I would be 30 miles ahead of you before you left the recharge station(if you can find one). No contest.
