Elon Musk surprised Tesla fans with a sudden reveal of dual motor, all-wheel drive (AWD) variants of the Model 3.
The Tesla CEO took to Twitter to provide a series of updates on the making of new Model 3 options. Though the provided details were relatively few, they were enough to picture what these Model 3 high-end variant can bring to the field.
The series of social media posts started with Musk saying that he was working on the Model 3’s dual motor all-wheel drive (AWD) and performance variations and later giving the initial configurations of the upcoming vehicles.
First, it was revealed that Tesla will be making a standard dual motor, AWD variant with a driving range of 310 miles, that can speed up from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 4.5 seconds, and will sport a maximum speed of 140 mph. For its dual motor specifications, the Tesla CEO also announced that this Model 3 option will be priced $5,000 higher than the standard vehicle.
As for the Model 3 dual motor AWD performance, going from 0 to 60 mph can be achieved a second faster (3.5 seconds) than the other variant. Though it will have the same 310 miles driving range, it will sport a heftier top speed capacity of 155 mph.
Meanwhile, if one might ask what does a dual motor vehicle mean for Tesla, Musk had it covered as well. “Tesla dual motor means there is a motor in front & a motor in rear. One is optimized for power & one for range. Car drives fine even if a motor breaks down. Helps ensure you make it to your destination & don’t get stuck on side of road in potentially unsafe conditions,” Musk explained in one of his tweets.
For the cost of these Model 3 variants, one must expect a much higher price point compared to the base Model 3 vehicle that is already in the production phase. According to Musk, the dual motor AWD options will be priced at least $78,000.
