Tesla has officially launched its much awaited updated Model 3 in North America.
The new Model 3, also called the Highland and the refreshed 3, was revealed on the company’s website late Tuesday night.
At present, it is available in two variants: Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) and Long Range (LR). But the Performance model which was earlier a popular choice, is not there and the old version is no longer available to order.
This launch came after its successful debut in many other countries including Europe and China.
The new Model 3 is available in five colors, including Stealth Gray and Ultra Red, which has added an aesthetic appeal to the range.
The EPA-rated range for the RWD variant remains unchanged, while the LR variant sees a modest increase, going from 333 to 341 miles.
It is important to note that as expected by many, the front bumper camera has not been included yet.
Tesla has set competitive prices for the new Model 3 variants, not changing the price for the new edition. The RWD remains at $38,990 USD and the LR is $45,990 USD.
Now it is being expected that Tesla will soon be launching its Performance model and rumour is that it will debut in North America.
