What's new at Tesla

The Tesla Model 3

From the outside, the Tesla Model 3 differentiates itself from the Model S with specific features, while retaining the same codes of its electric range. 

Its large glass roof ensures plenty of light. It also enhances aerodynamics. This vehicle stands out from the electric cars of 2023: with 542 liters of storage space, the Tesla Model 3 offers great storage capacity. The interior of the Tesla Model 3 can be summed up by its minimalism: it features just one large touch screen. 

This electric car is available in three versions:

- The Standard plus 

- La Grand Autonomie 

- Performance

The Long Range version gives you the freedom to cover 568 kilometers. The first model starts at just €43,800, a particularly attractive price from which you can still deduct the bonus écologique and the prime à la conversion.

The former "Model 3 Standard Range+" simply becomes the Model 3. Telsa has made a major upgrade, bringing it into line with the electric cars of 2023. It gains 10% more range, enabling it to cover 43 kilometers more without recharging its battery. Battery capacity increases from 55 kWh to 60 kWh. 

The good news is that the price remains unchanged at €43,800.

The Tesla Model Y

Compared to the Tesla Model 3, the Tesla Model Y stands out among the electric cars of 2023. It's a 100% electric compact SUV, with a larger body and 20 centimetres more height. 

Inside, however, the aesthetics are identical. This electric car can accommodate up to seven passengers, including luggage. The Tesla Model Y is extremely flexible: the seats can be folded down completely and individually. Access to the trunk is facilitated by a low sill, making it easy to load and unload. 

You can recharge it in 15 minutes, 241 kilometers on the Tesla SuperCharger network. A range of up to 505 kilometers is claimed for this model, with a 75 kWh battery. 

The Tesla Model Y is available in two versions: Grand Autonomie (from €59,990) and Performance (from €66,990).

The Tesla Model X

The Tesla Model X is a 100% electric SUV. It features Falcon rear doors that open upwards. Billed as "roomier than an Audi Q7 and faster than a Porsche 911", the Tesla Model X can accommodate up to 7 passengers. This model is offered in two finishes: Long Range and Plaid. This electric car has been available since 2022.

The Tesla Model S

On the market since 2012, the Tesla Model S has continued to evolve. Today, it boasts a 652 km range on a single charge, with a battery capacity of around 100 kWh. It is available in two versions: Long Range and Plaid. The sedan's exterior design and interior will be modernized.

The evolution of the Model X and Model S have been available for sale since 2022.

The electric car market is becoming more efficient every year. By 2023, it will be impossible for any manufacturer to do without an electric vehicle offering.
