The base Tesla Model 3 is the only new Tesla you can still buy for under $50,000. Its 272-mile range isn’t amazing but it’s better than many other EVs, and the 0-60 time of 5.8 seconds is fast enough. A new battery, introduced for 2022, means it can be repeatedly charged to 100%, whereas the recommendation before was up to 90%. There are many features that come as standard like 18-inch wheels, LED headlights, leatherette upholstery, and power-adjustable front seats. Dominating the minimalist cabin is a 15-inch touchscreen interface that provides access to nearly all the car’s features.
