Although first deliveries are only scheduled for the end of 2017, Tesla used the last day of March 2016 to unveil its highly-anticipated new Model 3.
With dimensions similar to those of its likely executive sedan rivals, the BMW 3 Series, Audi A4, and Mercedes-Benz C-Class the Model 3 looks particularly striking thanks to the fact it has no need for a front grille. Adding further appeal is the fact that the Tesla is capable to comfortably seating five occupants, with luggage.
Integrated within an even larger tablet-like infotainment screen will be standard Autopilot software, as well as a range readout reportedly set to indicate up to 350 km per single charge.
With more than 115 000 deposits already received (and a scheduled production run of 500 000 per year), company founder, Elon Musk, confirmed via his Twitter account that the Model 3 will be marketed in, among other newly-introduced markets, South Africa.
