Best new movies to stream on Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, HBO Max, and more Tesla also believes fully autonomous driving is just over the horizon. It’s offering customers the option to pre-equip their cars for self-driving capability for $3,000. Tesla won’t discuss a timeline for deployment of these features yet. The $35,000 base price buys a 220-mile range, 0 to 60 mph in 5.6 seconds, and a top speed of 130 mph. But Tesla also offers a Long Range version, starting at $44,000. The Long Range model can travel up to 310 miles on a charge, does 0 to 60 mph in 5.1 seconds, and has a top speed of 140 mph. It also charges faster than the base model, and Long Range customers will get their cars sooner. Production of the base model doesn’t start until November. A $5,000 Premium Upgrades package adds 12-way power heated front seats, open-pore wood trim, a nicer audio system, power adjustable steering, heated exterior mirrors, and a center console with two USB ports. Tesla offers 18-inch wheels as standard equipment, with 19-inch wheels a $1,500 option. All-wheel drive will also become available at a later date, for an unspecified cost. Adding every available option to the Long Range model brings the total cost to $59,500, plus whatever all-wheel drive ends up costing. Even with the $7,500 federal tax credit for electric cars, it will be easy for customers to spend significantly more than $35,000 on a Model 3. A price that quickly rises with options isn’t unique to Tesla, but it’s worth noting that many Model 3s will probably sell for much more than that much-quoted base price.
