At the Tesla Model 3 production vehicle reveal tonight, Tesla shared the official pricing and range of the two versions of the Model 3 initially available to customers. It will come in “Standard” at the base $35,000 price tag, which will feature 220 miles of range. The Standard trim is no slouch and will speed along from 0–60 mph in a mere 5.6 seconds, up to a top speed of 130 miles per hour.
For those with deeper pockets, a “Long Range” model will also be available for an extra $9,000. This trim buys another 90 miles of range for a total of 310 miles of all-electric range. The larger battery pack also means more power can be extracted at one time, resulting in a lower 0–60 mph time of just 5.1 seconds, up to a top speed of 140 miles per hour. These specs were visible from the live webcast that was streamed from Tesla’s homepage at tesla.com.
The specs aren’t going to get any performance nuts overly excited, but they are confirmation that Tesla will deliver a Model 3 with over 300 miles of range at a much lower price point than Model S.
Elon’s mention of a Ludicrous version of Model 3 is yet to be confirmed, with no news of a performance or Ludicrous upgrade option at this point. In fact, no options were confirmed — though, a variety of exterior colors and rim types were visible in the 40 or 50 Model 3s parked next to the stage.
The 310 mile Long Range Model 3 creates another niche market between the base Model 3 and the Model S pricing bracket for buyers who just want a long-range electric vehicle but don’t necessarily need the larger footprint or larger dent in the wallet that comes with Model S. The Long Range Model 3 does, understandably, come with a weight penalty of 265 pounds for the weight of the additional batteries.
The event was underwhelming if anything and under-delivered in terms of the details we were expecting to see, but that was all put to rest as Tesla updated the specs on its website just a few minutes after the event closed. Immediately below are the top-line options, with the full specs on Model 3 at the bottom.

Model 3
Model 3 is a smaller, simpler, and a more affordable electric car. Designed and built as the world’s first truly mass-market electric vehicle, it is a critical step in Tesla’s mission to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy.
Like every Tesla vehicle, Model 3 combines range, performance, safety, and technology. Intelligent design maximizes interior space to comfortably fit 5 adults and all of their gear. The high-efficiency powertrain provides zero to 60 mph acceleration in as little as 5.1 seconds.
Model 3 is designed to achieve the highest safety ratings in every category. Combined with 220* to 310 miles of range and a starting price of $35,000 before incentives, Model 3 is Tesla’s most affordable vehicle yet.
Model 3 is currently in production, and deliveries to employee reservation holders began on July 28, 2017, at the Tesla Factory in Fremont, CA. Reservations for Model 3 first opened on March 31, 2016, and remain available today.
