Tesla’s $35 thousand Model 3 promise came true!

Years ago, Tesla promised an affordable electric vehicle worth $35,000 before launching the Model 3 electric vehicle. This promise was partially fulfilled in 2019, but at that time the Model 3 Standard Range was on sale for only two months and was then withdrawn from the market. Now, it is bringing a $35,000 electric vehicle back to life, this time with the Model 3 Long Range RWD with a range of 584 km.

35 thousand dollar Tesla Model 3 goes on sale

The starting price of this new model is $42,490, but when tax credits are taken into account, the price drops to $34,990. So, finally, the $35,000 Tesla dream has become a reality. The new Model 3 LR RWD accelerates from 0-60 mph (0-97 km/h) in 4.9 seconds and has a top speed of 125 mph (201 km/h). The combination of performance and price makes this new model the most attractive Tesla available.

It should also be noted that with this model, Tesla has surpassed the Hyundai Ioniq 6 as the electric car with the longest range in the mid-size sedan segment. In 2018, the Model 3 LR RWD sold for $49K and was re-released for $43K for a few months in 2019. However, the 2024 Model 3 LR RWD is reasonably priced even without the federal tax credit. The old model’s EPA range was 500 km, and Autopilot cost an extra $3,000. Now this feature is offered as standard.

While introducing the new Model 3 variant, Tesla also reduced the price of the white interior option to $1,000 (except for Model 3 Performance). So, now a stylish white interior option has a more affordable price. This new Model 3 LR RWD model from Tesla is quite impressive in terms of both performance and price. It attracts attention with its range, acceleration and affordable price. So what do you think? You can share your opinions about this new model of Tesla with us in the comments section below.
