Reports claim that the entry-level electric vehicle (EV) will be available in sedan and crossover variants. Speaking to reporters earlier today at the EIA Energy Conference in Washington DC, Tesla's Chief Technical Officer Jeffrey B. Straubel confirmed that the Model 3 will be available in two trims— a first for Tesla cars. So far, the luxury EV maker had only offered Model S sedans. However, Tesla's visionary CEO Elon Musk has reaffirmed numerous times that the Model X will also be available in a gull-winged SUV crossover. At the conference, Mr. Straubel also hinted that Tesla might be producing a variety of makes in the future. Consumers will have the option of choosing either a convertible Model S, or an estate version of the Model 3. Moreover, Mr. Straubel also said that the company is working on mass production of its electric batteries to drive down costs, which will eventually lead to cheaper EVs. Elaborating on the company’s battery business, Mr. Straubel said that the lithium-ion batteries “will become the predominant and primary fuel for light vehicles,” and soon replace the traditional fossil fuel combustion engines. The latest announcements by Tesla are likely to become reality due to a change in its business strategy. The company is aiming to attract more buyers for the Tesla brand, especially the Model 3 version. It seems as if the company is riding hopes on the back of its $35,000 EV to fulfill its pledge of selling 500,000 Tesla cars by 2025. The entry level Model 3, which is expected to debut in 2017, will be able to cover nearly 200 miles in a single charge. The announcement came after the company's increased investment trajectory by clearing the way to secure $15 million tax credit in the state of California, increasing its real estate profile by leasing the Solyndra Building, a 500,000 square-feet facility, near its Fremont factory as well as a $500 million credit borrowed from leading banks to increase its cash reserves ahead of the Model X launch.

The US company is also planning cars beyond the Model 3 lineup, and expects the costs for batteries and technology to fall in the next few years, meaning lower-priced electric cars and higher demand. Tesla Model 3 project The smaller Model 3 is the third generation of Tesla cars. It follows the Roadster, which was the company’s first electric sports car, and two other vehicles built on the same architecture: the Model S from 2012 and the Model X. The Model X should be available later this year. Prices for the Model 3 are said to start at just $35,000, half the starting price of Tesla’s first mass market car, the Model S sedan. The Model 3 will apparently have a range of around 200 miles on a full charge. The company hopes the Model 3 project will push sales towards half a million by the end of the decade, says the Wall Street Journal, citing Tesla’s CTO, JB Straubel, speaking at the EIA Energy Conference. It remains to be seen exactly when the Model 3 cards are available, but it’s never been a more exciting time for anyone interested in electric vehicles.

Elon Musk confirmed that the Tesla Model III will be able to cover at least 250 miles on a single charge, marking an improvement on the previously stated figure of 200 miles. The compact sedan also fares well against the companies more expensive vehicles. The Model S can travel for 253 miles on a single charge, while the Roadster achieves 245 miles, but both cars will cost significantly more than the Model III, which will cost just $35,000 (£22,380) when it launches next year. Currently, Tesla’s other models cost in excess of £50,000, but the company has been able to offer a lower priced car due to improvements in battery technology and improved charging infrastructure. In particular, Elon Musk has been keen to stress that charging stations are needed not only in residential areas, but also near places of work and popular travel destinations. The lower price is expected to be a huge selling point for Tesla, particularly as price has long been the main barrier to mass adoption of electric vehicles. The Model III will also be cheaper than competitors like the Chevrolet Bolt, which has a price tag of $38,000. Before the Model III goes on sale, Tesla will able to determine the chances of an electric vehicle achieving mainstream success with the launch of its Model X automobile. The Model X will begin shipping in three to four months’ time and provides buyers with 230 miles on a single charge and costs $80,000. ...
