Tesla Model 3 exclusive leaked specs: 0-60 under 4 sec fast and 300+ mile range options | Electrek

"According to a source who has seen the design that will be shown off tomorrow, it looks like a smaller hybrid of the Model X and S. It is a bit taller sedan with a unique front that looks more like a Model X than a Model S. The car is shorter and narrower than either the model X or S but is described as “sexy and sporty”...

One of the standout specs Tesla will tout is that it will be able to travel from 0-60 in under 4 seconds. We weren’t told if this is for the base model or a more premium edition with bigger battery and AWD...

Besides autonomous driving on the level of the Model S and X, Tesla will also offer the aforementioned AWD option. In addition, a battery pack that we’re estimating in the ~80kWh range will take the Model 3 to over 300 miles in range."

Wowza. If true, I may not be able to resist.

Got this in my email, thought I would share:

Many of us are familiar with www.fueleconomy.gov that has been a ready resource to compare cars. But it was limited to four car comparisons. Several years ago, I stumbled across the "Test Car Database" at EPA.gov which is very technical. But there is a new resource (to me):

It provides similar data but across the fleet. Not as technical as the "Test Car Database," is provides an easy way to do fleet-wide comparisons. It also looks to be fairly current, March 2016 updates.
