Previously, the twin-engine variant with the high-end interior option was going to order a $ 5,000 bonus on the $ 49,000 single-engine model 3 with the same interior, but Tesla cut $ 1,000 off. Now it will cost you $ 53,000. It has the same range as the single-seater, 310 miles, but the acceleration from 0 to 60 improves to 4.5 seconds.

Tesla also adjusted prices for its 3 Performance model. Originally, it was going to cost $ 78,000 and each option was standard. Now, a basic performance of Model 3 will start at $ 64,000. If you want the white interior, transfer to an additional $ 1500. Top quality paint is also an option, if you want to look a little more chic.

There is also a Performance Upgrades package available for $ 5,000 that increases the top speed to 155 miles per hour (145), and it adds a number of parts, including a carbon fiber spoiler, 20-inch wheels, pedals aluminum alloy, red calipers and Michelin Pilot Sport 4S summer tires.

All this does not give $ 78,000, but it's on purpose – the price has been reduced rather aggressively. Fortunately, price changes will be retroactively applied to customers who have already placed orders.
