Tesla has been in the news for many wrong reasons recently but the products are receiving tremendous response from the customers. The Model 3 has been popular since its launch and is still contributing a large part in Tesla’s revenue. After looking at its success, Tesla has already prepared the Model 3 Performance for the enthusiast drivers.
The Model 3 isn’t the only Tesla model that is giving the competitors sleepless nights though. After the announcement of the Tesla Roadster, many supercar manufacturers have been taken aback by its performance and have changed their plans for the future to compete with the electric supercar. Even the manufacturer of the current World’s fastest production car Koenigsegg admitted that the Roadster’s performance numbers are embarrassing for them.
Tesla has paced up the electric car game with its product range and now every car manufacturer is gearing up to set up an electric line-up. Audi is all set to launch the E-Tron SUV on 17th this month while Mercedes-Benz has just launched its first fully electric car, the EQC crossover.
