First-Ever Tesla Model 3 Dual Motor Performance Rolls Off New Assembly Line
Late last month, American electric carmaker Tesla officially announced the new all-wheel-drive and performance versions of the Tesla Model 3 sedans. Slated to launch in July 2018, the Tesla Model 3 dual motor performance version is priced at $ 78,000 (Rs. 53.02 lakh). While earlier reports suggested that the Model 3 dual motor performance version will begin its production in July, Elon Musk, CEO, Tesla tweeted out the first image of the new car from its new production line created at the Tesla plant in Freemont, California. This also means that the company is ahead of its schedule and will start the deliveries of the Model 3 dual motor versions earlier than expected.
