Tesla announces the Model 3: At half the price of the Model S, Tesla wants to take EVs mainstream

Tesla’s Elon Musk has revealed his company’s plans to take on compact executive cars, such as the BMW 3-series and i3, with the Tesla Model 3. The all-electric Model 3 (which was originally going to be called the Model E) will be around 20% smaller than the Model S, and will have a shorter range of around 200 miles — but it will have "strong performance" like the Model S and start at just $35,000 (the Model S starts at around $70,000).
