The long-awaited Tesla Model 3 has finally hit the market, bringing electric cars to the masses. Unlike the three previous cars built by Tesla, the Model 3 is expected to have mass-market appeal, costing far less than both the Model S and the Model X. At the same time, the Model 3 should still have everything that made people fall in love with the other cars in Tesla's lineup, including an all-electric drivetrain, a usable range and the bonkers acceleration buyers have come to expect from the high-performance variants. The Model 3 is also the first compact car Tesla have built, with the Model S and Model X being far, far bigger and more spacious, but less maneuverable, particularly for people residing in cities where the electric drivetrain makes the most sense.
