Today, Tesla announced a new product plan on its official tweet-a Model 3 small electric car, which is 20% smaller than Model S and can reach 200 miles per charge. Auto Express believes the car is Tesla's response to the 3 series, which is expected to be officially released in 2016 and scheduled to start next year.

Chris Porritt, vice president of Tesla Engineering, said earlier in an interview with Autocar that Model 3 would not be based on the aluminum platform adopted by Model S, and that the company would reduce overall costs by relying on more economical battery costs. Tesla's first-generation car roadster will also "adopt a new generation of batteries, which will be raised to 400 miles from the current 245 miles," from Los Angeles to San Francisco.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk in an interview, said the use of Model 3 with the name of the Ford company's legal dispute there is a certain source, was intended to use model E this name (just perfect model S e x this sequence), but Ford said will sue Tesla only changed the Model 3 this name.
