Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, informed in a tweet about Tesla’s India-bound Model 3 which is go-fast and much-anticipated all-wheel-drive model from the electric carmaker. The Model 3 sedan was first unveiled on 1 April 2016 and the sales started from mid-2017 in the U.S.A.
The Model 3 was available in two variants which are Long Range Battery and Standard Battery. Both the versions are rear-wheel-drive (RWD), and the company is making the all-wheel-drive version ready of the Model S.
The new all-wheel-drive version is available with an identical range of 310 miles and the Long Range Battery pack. The Model 3 with all-wheel-drive reaches 60mph from an idle position in just 4.5-seconds which is better than the available RWD Long Range Battery model taking 5.1 seconds. The price is also hiked by $5000 for the Model 3 AWD over the existing RWD model available at $44,000. The Model 3 AWD is able to touch a top speed of 140mph.
The go-fast version of Model 3 with AWD breaches the 3-sec barrier and reaches 60mph from standstill in just 3.5 seconds which is 1 second faster as compared to standard AWD version. The Model 3 is able to reach 310 miles in a single charge same like the AWD models and the Long Range Battery. It is available at $78,000(approximately Rs 53 lakh) and nearly $29,000 over the Model 3 AWD.
