 INTRODUCTION

The Tesla Model 3 is an electric four-door fast back developed by Tesla.

The Model 3 Standard Range Plus version delivers an EPA-rated all-electric range
of 263 miles (423 km) and the Long Range versions deliver 353 miles (568 km).

According to Tesla, the Model 3 carries full self-driving hardware, with periodic
software updates adding functionality

The main motto is to accelerate the advent of sustainable transport and electric
technology
 HISTORY

Elon Musk presented the Model 3 as likely being affordable by most people able to
purchase new cars.

On February 28, 2019, Tesla announced the availability of the lower-cost, highly
anticipated, standard Range trim.

However, on April 12, 2019, Tesla announced that the Standard Range model would
no longer be available for ordering online, but only over the phone or in stores.

In February 2019, the Model 3 passed the Chevrolet Volt to become the all-time best-
selling plug-in electric cars. Model 3 sales surpassed the Nissan Leaf in early 2020 to
become the world's all-time top selling plug in electric car.

Tesla added that the standard range version of the all electric car would have version
of all the electric cars would have an estimated EPA

on February 28, 2019, Tesla announced the availability of the lower-cost, highly
anticipated, $35,000, Standard Range trim.

However, on April 12, 2019, Tesla announced that the Standard Range model would
no longer be available for ordering online, but only over the phone or in stores.
Autopilot, previously a $3000 option, was included in all versions of the Model 3
except for the Standard Range, while each version's price only increased by $2,000.

In February 2019, the Model 3 passed the Chevrolet Volt to become the all-time best-
selling plug-in electric car in the U.S.

Model 3 sales surpassed the Nissan Leaf in early 2020 to become the world's all-time
top selling plug-in electric car.
 DESIGN

Tesla’s goal has been to ensure the Model 3 is “smaller, simpler and more affordable”
than the Model S that preceded it, so the new car doesn’t use air springs or adaptive
dampers. Instead, you’ll find a passively damped coil spring at each corner, although
the suspension itself is of a double-wishbone design at the front axle and five-link rear
– the expensive, favored set-up of traditional sporting saloons.

On 2013 design chief Franz von Holzhausen said that the Model 3 will "be an Audi
A4, BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class type of vehicle that will offer everything:
range, affordability, and performance" that is targeted toward the mass market. While
technology from Tesla's Model S will be used in the Model 3, it will be 20% smaller
than the Model S and have its own unique design.

According to Tesla's CTO, JB Straubel, in October 2015, most Tesla engineers were
working on the 3 rather than S or X. Since electric cars have lower cooling needs than
combustion cars, the Model 3 does not have nor need a front grille .Musk intended for
the final design to be released on June 30, 2016 but when the design was finished on
July 27, it was not publicly released. After the final design of the first Model 3, any
further changes would be included in future versions of the Model 3.The standard
glass roof developed by Tesla Glass is made of the same glass used for Tesla's roof
tiles.

Tesla Model 3 MY2021 refresh in China

In November 2020, the Model 3 was refreshed with cosmetic and internal changes,
many carried over from the Model Y. The refreshed Model 3 replaced the chrome
door handles, side mirror trim, window trim, and camera covers with a black finish.
Double-paned front window glass, a powered trunk, new center console, and minor
performance upgrades were added to all Model 3 trim levels. The car's engineering
was updated to reflect Tesla's advances with the Model Y. This included the
introduction of a heat pump and proprietary octo valve that increases the car's heating
and cooling efficiency.
 INTERIOR DESIGN

The 2021 Tesla Model 3 looks and feels futuristic. There are no physical controls,
which can make sifting through the touch screen’s menus risky while driving. Storage
space is good, but the rear seats can be a touch tight.

Cargo:

The Model 3 impresses when it comes to storage. Not only is its 15-cubic-foot trunk
well-sized among luxury hybrid and electric cars, but it also has a front trunk, or frunk
, where an engine would go. The rear seats can fold down to accommodate bulky
items, and a power trunk lid comes standard.

Seating:

The Model 3 seats five people. The front seats come standard with heating and power
adjustability, and heated rear seats are available.

There’s plenty of room up front, and the seats are well-cushioned. However, the back
seats earn mixed reviews. Some critics find them to be snug but comfortable, but
others say that they’re too cramped for taller passengers.

For installing child safety seats, there are two complete sets of LATCH connectors for
the rear outboard seats and a tether anchor for the rear middle seat. The lower anchors
are set deeply in the seats, but otherwise, the setup is easy to use.
 Interior Features

Standard in the Model 3 is a 15-inch touch screen, wireless device charging for up to
two smart phones, navigation, Bluetooth, four USB ports, HD Radio, dual-zone
automatic climate control, and a glass roof.

Most functions are done through the touch screen, including adjusting the mirrors and
steering wheel. Many of these tasks are buried deeply in submenus, and it can take a
while to figure out where everything is. Additionally, features such as satellite radio,
Android Auto, and Apple Car Play are absent.

Several safety features come standard, though they’re mostly bundled in Tesla’s
Autopilot system. These include a surround-view parking camera system, forward
collision warning, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, sensors all
around the vehicle, adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, and parallel and
perpendicular park assist. Autopilot also lets the Model 3 steer and accelerate within
its lane.

Available equipment includes Tesla’s Full Self-Driving Capability, which adds semi-
autonomous driving features such as auto lane change, parallel and perpendicular
parking, stopping at traffic lights and stop signs, and Summon, which lets you call the
car to you.
 TECHONOLOGY IN TESLA

Tesla, the EV (electric vehicle) frontrunner for the past decade, has some of the most
technologically advanced EVs on the market.

The company is currently at the forefront of autonomous tech with its Autopilot and Full
Self Driving features, and the car now has the capability to slow itself down when
approaching stop signs and red lights.

Tesla are constantly evolving through over-the-air updates—yes, like an iPhone—and the
majority of the car's controls, including the trunk, glove box, windshield wipers, and
climate control, are accessed on a 15-inch touch screen mounted on the center of the
dashboard.

There are a lot of unusual interactions and controls. It's a bit daunting if you're getting
behind the wheel of a Tesla for the first time
Getting Started:

Our Tesla Model 3 has three keys: a Tesla key card; a key fob, which is a $150 accessory;
and your phone, which you can set up through the Tesla mobile app to work as a key. To
unlock the car with the key card, swipe the card on the B-pillar, and the door will unlock
or lock. With the key fob or phone as a key, simply approach the car, push in the right
side of the door handle, and pull the door open. The car will lock automatically once the
phone or key fob is about five feet away from the car. You can also unlock or lock the car
remotely via the Tesla mobile app or simply push on the roof of the car-shaped Tesla key
fob

NO IGNITION:

You don't really turn on the car, either. Simply depress the brake pedal, push the right
stalk on the steering column—it goes up for reverse and down for drive—and you're off.
To engage neutral, gently push up to the first stopping point on the right stalk for about
two seconds. When you're done driving, put the car in park by pushing the button on the
side of the right stalk

Making Adjustments:

To adjust the steering wheel and mirrors, touch the front-facing car icon at the bottom left
of the central touch screen. This will bring up all of the vehicle's settings menus. Make
sure you're under Quick Controls. This will allow you to adjust the steering wheel and
mirrors via the two buttons and spin wheels on the steering wheel. Here, you can also turn
the lights on or off, fold the mirrors inward, lock the windows, and adjust the screen's
brightness. Adjustments, including the driver's seating position, can be saved on up to 10
driver profiles that can be chosen at the top right of the screen.
Driving, Cruise Control, and Autopilot:

Driving an electric car isn't that much different from driving a gasoline-powered car—
other than that they make almost no noise at all. As we said earlier, you never really start
the car. You just put it in gear and silently creep away. Fair warning: the instant torque
during hard acceleration might frighten you at first, but trust us, it can get a bit addicting.
Reverse is different, though, because the car emits a high-pitched humming sound when
in reverse—this definitely gets a lot of raised eyebrows from onlookers.

The Driving Graphic:

On the left side of the Model 3's center-mounted 15-inch touch screen, there is a driving
graphic that displays your car, lanes in the road, bike lanes, railroad crossings, road
arrows, stop signs, stoplights, pedestrians, and other cars (it even differentiates among
cars, trucks, and SUVs). There isn't a typical gauge cluster in front of the Model 3's
steering wheel as there is in most gas-powered cars. Instead, the Model 3's speed is
displayed above the driving graphic. That's also where the blinkers flash.
How to Use Cruise Control:

Under the speedometer are the cruise-control speed settings. To engage cruise control,
press down once on the right stalk while in drive. The Model 3 is equipped with adaptive
cruise control, meaning cameras on the outside of the car detect its surroundings and
decelerate or accelerate to maintain following distances. To adjust the speed, there are +
and - symbols next to the speed or you can use the right wheel on the steering wheel to
speed up or slow down.

How to Engage Autopilot:

To use the Model 3's Autopilot, press down on the right stalk twice. You'll hear a chime,
and the lanes on the driving graphic will turn blue, indicating that the car will stay in that
lane. Once Autopilot is engaged, the car will continue to slow down and accelerate based
on the set cruise control speed, and also take gradual turns.

In a car equipped with the Full Self Driving option, Autopilot can change lanes, too.
Simply hit the blinker and the car will switch lanes for you. If there's a vehicle in the way,
the exterior cameras will detect it and wait for the way to be clear.
Bring the Car to You Remotely with Summon and Smart Summon:

Autopilot and Summon are standard on Model 3s. C/D’s long-term test car has the Full
Self Driving option, which includes automatic lane changing and Smart Summon. You
have to be within approximately 200 feet of your car to use Smart Summon. Both
Summon and Smart Summon work through the Tesla mobile app. Summon will move the
car forward or reverse, while Smart Summon can bring your parked car to your location
without a driver. In the app, use the crosshair-like icon to show your location, and hold
the Summon icon to bring the car to you.

One-Pedal Driving:

The Model 3 has full one-pedal driving due to regenerative braking. Simply put,
regenerative braking means that when you let off the throttle, the car automatically starts
slowing by using the electric motor in reverse, which also serves to send energy back to
the battery. If the car's charge is full, though, regenerative braking will be reduced, and
the car will not stop itself. Regenerative braking is most apparent when the car is on a
lower state of charge, therefore reserving the battery's charge.
The 15-Inch Touch screen:

The Tesla Model 3's interior is very minimalistic, meaning there aren't many buttons or
knobs. There's just one large 15-inch touch screen in the middle of the dashboard where
the majority of the controls are, as well as two scrollable buttons on each side of the
steering wheel. Normal things you expect to see in a car like a radio, air conditioning, and
controls to adjust the mirrors or the steering wheel are all controlled on the central touch
screen.

Open the Glove box via the Touch screen:

Yes, in the Model 3, even the glove box opens via touch screen. Hit the car icon at the
bottom right of the screen to open up the settings menu, and on the left under the system
menus, there is a button to open the glove box. It closes manually.

How to Use the Climate Controls:

The climate-control settings are also integrated in the central touch screen. Select the fan
icon at the bottom of the screen, and the climate control settings pop up. In the Model 3,
the air blows out of a vent that sprawls across the entire dash—just above the wood
paneling in our long-term test car. Our Model 3 also has heated seats, which can be
controlled in this menu, too. We can choose which seat is heated, even the middle back
seat, and how much heat comes out in three levels.
Ask Anything with Voice Command:

Below the driving graphic, there is a microphone icon that's used to bring up voice
command. You can also press the right scroll button on the steering wheel to activate
voice commands. There will be an activation tone, and then you can speak commands
such as "show me Superchargers," "lock the doors," or "text Connor."

Stay Entertained:

To help you kill time at charging stations, Netflix, Hulu, Twitch, and YouTube are
integrated into the Model 3's entertainment menu. On the Model 3 they work like any
other streaming device, but they can only be used while the car is in park. The
entertainment menu is also loaded with games. Our favorite is a Mario Kart-like racing
game where the Model 3's brake pedal and steering wheel are used to control the car in-
game. In addition to streaming apps and games, Tesla owners can browse the web directly
from the car's touch screen. Owners can also log into their spotify account to stream their
music in the car or they can connect a Bluetooth device, listen to the radio, or search for
podcasts.
Charging Tesla Model 3 at Home:

All Tesla come out of the box with a mobile connector that has a 20-foot cable that can
charge the car from different wall outlets at medium to low speeds. The mobile connector
kit includes an adapter for standard 120-volt household outlets that will charge the Model
3 and Model S at around three miles of range per hour, and the Model X at around two
miles of range per hour. Other adapters for different outlets can be purchased directly
through Tesla.

However, the majority of Tesla owners have charging units installed at their homes. Wall
connectors can work with almost any home power supply and are purchased from Tesla
for $500. Through Tesla's website, a local electrician who has been trained to install Tesla
charging equipment can be found to install the wall connector either indoors or out.
Tesla's own installation services are also available, but only in certain areas. Connected to
a wall charger, the Model 3 can charge up to 44 miles of range per hour of charge at an
11.5-kW or 48-amp output.

Customers can also get Tesla's Power wall, which starts at $6500. It's essentially a giant
battery plugged into the wall. Power wall gives homeowners the ability to store power
produced either by solar panels or during off-peak times to be used later to power their
home or charge their Tesla. Like the wall charger and other Tesla accessories, the Power
wall can be ordered directly from the Tesla website.
Charging Tesla Model 3 on the Road:

On the road, Tesla can be charged at one of its 1870 Supercharger stations across the
world. They either provide 150 or 250 kW of electric power, and there are also urban
chargers that supply 72 kW of power. To plug in, simply back into the parking space—
each Supercharger station typically has around eight stalls—and plug in. Payment is
processed through the credit card associated with the driver's Tesla account and typically
costs between $5 and $15, depending on the state of charge. When charging is complete,
hang up the charging cable, and you're off.

In addition to the Superchargers, Tesla also has destination chargers across the country at
hotels, restaurants, and shopping centers. They're free and can be used by any Tesla
owner to charge the car for a few hours or even overnight. Third-party charging stations
can be located through Plugshare.com. The Tesla mobile connector bundle that comes
with every car includes J1772, 120v, and 240v adapters.
Tesla Performance:

Our long-term Dual Motor Tesla Model 3 Long Range weighed in at 4038 pounds and
launched from zero to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds. That acceleration hits hard, due to the
instant torque provided from the electric motors, and in the higher-performance Tesla
models, there's even more oomph. The Model 3 Performance can do 60 mph in 3.5
seconds, and when we tested the larger Model S Performance, we reached that speed a
full second quicker, in 2.5 seconds. But that incredible number isn't even the best time
we've measured with an EV. A Porsche Taycan Turbo S to 60 mph in 2.4 seconds,
making it the third-quickest car we’ve ever tested. Electric cars don't have to be slow.

How Much Tesla Cost:

If you're going to get behind the wheel of a Tesla, you're going to have to get one first.
But how much does a Tesla cost? Like any other car, it varies depending on model, trim
level, and options. Currently the entry-level, let's say least expensive, Tesla is the Model
Y compact crossover. It's almost identical to the Model 3, and it starts at $40,200, but
that's for the Standard Range battery, which provides about 230 miles of driving range.
They can cost you more than $62,200 for the Model Y Performance. On the highest end
of the spectrum, the Model X SUV reaches prices around $106,000 for the Performance
model, which Tesla claims can hit 60 mph from a stop in less than three seconds.
