Cheap Tesla Model 3 Review: Edmunds Bought $35K Off-Menu Variant

If you're still thinking about buying the $35,000 base Tesla Model 3, we have good news. It's still available as a special order. However, before you take the plunge, it's wise to do your homework. Edmunds bought the car and detailed all of its features in the video above.

When Tesla first announced the Model 3, it touted the car as a mass-market EV with a starting price of $35,000. At the time, Tesla was still eligible for the full $7,500 federal EV tax credit. This meant people may have been able to get a Tesla for just $27,500. However, the automaker was unable to launch the base version of the car for many months.
