Admittedly, not everyone has €36,990 to pay. But for enthusiasts who can afford it and are looking for an electric sedan, it’s arguably one of the best bargains around. Tesla is making its Model 3 Propulsion (formerly Standard Plus) more affordable by lowering its price once again.
After a reduction that occurred a few weeks ago and which had brought its price to €44,990, excluding the ecological bonus, the Tesla site now displays its entry-level electric propulsion at €41,990, which brings the price to 36,990 € taking into account the ecological bonus of 5000 € to which everyone is entitled. This aid can even be increased to €7,000, but beware, the reference tax income per unit must be less than or equal to €14,089. As a reminder, this aid can be combined with the conversion premium of €2,500, subject to conditions, and if the reference tax income per unit is €22,983. All combined, the acquisition cost of the Tesla Model 3 can therefore drop to €34,490, or even €32,490 in some cases.
Following the same logic, Tesla is changing the prices of its other models. Thus, the Model Y Propulsion is displayed at €44,990, or €39,990 bonus deducted. But that’s not all. The Model S Dual Motor with particularly high performance (250 km/h, 3.2 s for the 0 to 100 km/h) starts at €103,990 and the Plaid, whose test will appear soon and which quite simply propels its occupants into the world of Hypercars, starts at €128,990 compared to €138,990 a few days ago. The Model X also sees its price drop, since it now starts at €111,990.
For ordinary mortals, it is in any case the Model 3 Propulsion which displays the most attractive offer since it brilliantly combines performance, comfort, charging power and autonomy.
As a reminder, the Tesla Model 3 Propulsion (formerly Standard Plus or SR+) is an electric sedan 4.69 m long, 1.85 m wide and 1.44 m high. Empty, the Model 3 Propulsion weighs 1835 kg. Its maximum payload is 314 kg. Its trunk reaches 425 liters and 1218 liters when the rear seat is folded down. The Tesla Model 3 Propulsion is equipped with a permanently excited synchronous motor that develops 325 hp (239 kW) on the rear axle only and 420 Nm of torque.
This engine is powered by a 60 kWh LFP battery which promises 491 km of autonomy according to the WLTP standard. The charging power goes up to 170kw and it takes 21 minutes to go from 20% to 80%. The performances are interesting, since the electric sedan reaches 225 km / h and needs 6.1 s to go from 0 to 100 km / h: sports figures! MG4 Luxury 64 kWh apart, since the price of the latter is €35,990 excluding bonuses, the Model 3 Propulsion is almost without competition.
