Tesla Model 3
The popular Model 3 sedan is available in three trim levels. The Long Range RWD model now offers a range of 584 km, thanks a more capable battery, while the Long Range AWD model can cover 550 km. The top-line Model 3 Performance is good for just 478 km, but boosts power to 460 hp and accelerates from 0-100 km/h in a mere 3.1 seconds. Build quality has been significantly improved following last year’s major update. All Canadian-spec units are now built in the U.S.
