According to the guys over at TopSpeed who sent us these renderings, “additional body styles will be critical to Tesla’s ongoing success”, and after seeing their version of what a Model 3 hatchback might look like, we agreed wholeheartedly.

As it stands, Tesla spends on average around twice as much as the likes of Ford and General Motors on warranty fix services on its vehicles, according to analysis from Reuters.

In addition, the industry observer noted that since Tesla considers the Model 3 a huge success, the same can be said for its competitors.

Currently, Europe is among the highest-volume markets for Tesla Motors Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) outside the United States, but that situation might soon change.

Firstly, the engineer highlights Tesla’s new wheel designs unveiled with the Model 3.

That range is achieved, however, under ideal conditions of a steady speed of 65 miles per hour, 70-degree weather and not using climate controls, but the fact it crossed the 300-mile threshold is still impressive.

29 minutes into the video he talks about improving batteries.

The Model 3 also employs air curtains in the lower fender that exit ahead of the front tires to provide a drag-reducing air stream over the wheels, while helping the flow transition smoothly around the sides of the vehicle. “And then, with fourth generation, and smaller cars and whatnot, we will ultimately be in a position where anyone can afford the car”.Interestingly, the global sales chief also said that the Tesla Factory in Fremont, California has the production capacity of 600,000 units per year, up from 500,000 units per year previously said by Mr. Musk.

Tesla Motors Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) has been running in losses for several years, but this year, the firm is hopeful of making a profit, as per the statement by CEO – Elon Musk – to the investors.

The Model 3 is Tesla’s most important electric auto yet, promising a sleek design and high-tech features at an affordable price.

Musk goes on to mention the fact he may not be in charge of Tesla after the Model 3 hits retail.
