New Minimalist Design, Same Self Driving Hardware
All Tesla vehicles produced today, including Model 3, have the hardware needed for full self-driving capability at a safety level substantially greater than that of a human driver. However, Tesla is waiting for government approval before activating full self driving. The Model 3 has advanced Autopilot features like Model S and Model X that are constantly being upgraded through over the air software updates. Model 3 has a few differences, like a new driver facing camera and a new way for the driver to activate Autopilot with a new gear selector
Minimalist Design
______________________
Model 3 is designed to be the car of the future. With little driver input when self driving is available in the future, there is no need for an HUD or other buttons. The main controls, maps, navigation, climate and even AC vents are all managed from the 15 inch touchscreen.
Keyless Card Entry
______________________
The Model 3 has no key fob. The vehicle is set to unlock via bluetooth from your phone app. A secondary mode of entry is by using a credit card sized key card that uses NFC and unlocks the door when tapped on the B pillar.
Pay Per Use Supercharging
______________________
Unlike the Model S and Model X, the Model 3 will come with a pay per use model for Supercharging. This will still be a fraction of the today’s cost to fill up a tank of gas in an ICE car.
