Dual Motor Model 3 Should Be Able To Run 0-60 In 3.5 Seconds And Cost $78K

Technical specifications for the dual-motor Tesla Model 3 derivatives have been announced by Elon Musk on Twitter.

Tesla will produce two all-wheel drive Model 3s, one focused on range and the other optimized for power. The first of these two will use the same 258 HP and 317 lb-ft rear wheel motor as the regular Model 3 and also utilize a second electric motor driving the front axle.

Yeah, would take this over a M3 any day of the week. The M3 still looks straight out of the late 90s.

An under equipped car starting at $35k, going up to $78k. Very mass market.

sure does! It is most certainly a boring exterior and interior design filled with gremlins as Consumer Reports just wrote, ouch!

I don't care what kind of numbers it crunches or performance it brings, the cheap interior with funky dash kills it for me and is not something I can look past so I will wait for the Mission but would really like a electrified SUV for the extra ass haulage factor...

Tick tock, tick tock...that's the sound of Audi, BMW and Porsche launching their own EVs this year and in 2019. Tesla better improve its reliability and public relations firestorm of fatal crashes if it wants to stand a chance against the Germans. I didn't even get into global sales volume, size of dealership network, economies of scale and reliability ratings...
