How often do you really change follow distance? And in so many ways it lives up to the hype. Roughly the left quarter of the display is occupied by a large vertical section showing the speed up top, Autopilot status below (assuming the car is so equipped) and, on the bottom, a series of cards you can swipe through. The motorcycle minded have for years been wondering if brand wunderkind Tesla would ever consider turning its electric magic loose on a bike, and now we have an answer. All rights reserved. The 2020 Toyota Highlander gets a new platform... 2020 Hyundai Sonata brings arresting style... full guide on everything from hybrids to EVs. Tesla turned the world on its ear when it stuck a massive, 17-inch display vertically in the dash of the Model S, fitting the same basic system in the Model X. (It was absent in the earliest cars to ship.)

The Tesla Model 3 theoretically starts at $35,000. In general driving I actually don't mind this positioning one bit. We're left with a phenomenal machine sporting some key rough spots that will, over time, receive a whole lot of OTA polish. Some will be polished away with over-the-air updates, but others will remain. Initial acceleration off the line shows that this is a quick car -- not Ludicrous quick by any means, but far more responsive than a Chevy Bolt EV -- or indeed, just about anything electric short of a Model S. It's more than capable of putting a smile on your face at every stop light. I can get behind decisions made in the name of aesthetics and design purity but not when balanced against safety. The look, the feel, the driving dynamics, the performance and even the range all point to a car that delivers on all its many promises -- if not on that $35,000 price tag just yet. By the way, if you need a little help deciding whether the 3 is the right Tesla for you, if maybe you're better off with a Model S or Model X, check out our new Tesla buying guide. AM radio is also lacking, though FM now works.

And it's punctuated beneath by a line of brushed metal.

Here's the electric car you've been waiting for. On the car we tested, it adds up to a final sticker price of $56,500, plus a further $1,000 destination charge. I was hoping Tesla will launch the ebike. Unlike the vast majority of cars on the road, the Model 3 lacks a stalk or indeed any physical controls to manipulate the wipers, beyond a single button on the headlight stalk on the left. However, it's when you need to interact with the display that things start to go wrong. The Good Clean looks, a distinctive yet practical interior layout and solid performance create what seems like a perfect package. After configuring and paying for the thing, an owner's first experience with a Model 3 will be unlocking it, and believe it or not that's a task requiring some explanation.

One less thing to lose, too. This totally unique look is achieved through a series of styling choices, including an ultra-short tail, almost…, The Honda Super Cub is been in production for six decades, and in that time 100 million units have rolled off the line.

But overall this Model 3 looked miles better than the earlier production examples of the Model X. I was also able to scope out another Model 3 waiting for delivery and it appeared to be of a similar quality.
Stunning acceleration at any RPM, sharp lines and sporty ergonomics transform your daily ride into a thrill.

While my first impressions behind the wheel of the Model 3 made it clear the car was going to be good, there's one problem already: The car you're looking at actually costs $56,500. Yes, you could get away for as little as $44,000 right now, but then you'd be rolling on a car with no heated seats, and when you're talking this much money... that just feels wrong.

Tesla's affordable EV isn't exactly affordable yet, but it sure does drive nice. Push the button for a single sweep of the wipers, hold it to spray the wash. (And if you're unsure whether you're ready to go full-electric, check out our full guide on everything from hybrids to EVs.).

Once you figure out how to unlock the thing, you have access to the most distinctive interior I've ever seen in a modern car intended for the masses. And since this is a touchscreen rather than a physical control, it's much harder to build muscle memory. The lone stalk to the left of the Model 3's steering wheel. Some will be polished away with over-the-air updates, but others will remain.

The Tesla Model M can be linked to all Apple products.
Rates will vary depending on where you're charging, but in rural California I paid less than $10 for a nearly full charge. Serious usability issues exist.

Tesla Forums. Things that you can simply and easily do directly in a normal car, or even in a Model S or X, here require a series of taps on the new, 15-inch touchscreen. On the cruise control side, Tesla indicated that the right thumbwheel on the steering wheel will be repurposed to allow the changing of speed.

Frankly I'd never realized how often I tweak this control because, on a normal car, it's so easy to do I don't even think about it. You can also launch the Tesla app on your phone to unlock the trunks or flash the lights, and while that's more cumbersome than pushing a dedicated button on a key fob, it does at least mean one less thing to carry everywhere.
