CEO of Tesla, Elon Musk, drove a red Model 3 to the stage he made a speech. Two core versions of the Tesla Model 3 are being offered for sale, the standard and longer range models. The standard car comes in at a price of $35,000. The standard Model 3 has a 220-mile range (about 350km), a 5.6s 0-60mph time and a 130mph top speed. For $44,000 you can have the longer range model.
