Tesla Model 3 production version

 

If Nissan Leaf sets the standards for affordable electric cars, the Tesla Model 3 does it for every premium sedan, doesn’t matter if it’s electric or not. Until BMW, Audi and Mercedes fully embrace electric cars, they’ll have a very hard time to look modern.

Now it’s up to Tesla to produce as many cars as they can and lead the electric car revolution. Tesla’s success dictates how fast legacy automakers get serious about electric cars.
