Three at last!

Deliveries of Tesla’s highly anticipated Model 3 sedan have finally commenced in the US. CEO Elon Musk handed over the first 30 production cars to customers (largely Tesla and Spacex employees) in a live-streamed event where he confirmed two Model 3 versions. The first has sub-6.0sec 0-97km/h (60mph) performance, 345km range, and a circa-$55,000 Australian price tag. Then there is a ‘Long Range’ version with a sub-5.0sec 0-97km/h time, 500km range, and estimated local sticker in the upper-$60k bracket.
