Tesla unveils the new Model 3 Performance: quicker, sleeker, and more powerful, starting at $52,990 with a $7,500 EV credit advantage.
The Tesla Model 3 Performance is not just any sports car; it's a high-value proposition. Qualifying for the full $7,500 Federal EV tax credit, the effective cost after savings is $45,490. This price point significantly undercuts the Model 3 Long Range, which does not qualify for the tax credit, offering performance enthusiasts a stellar deal.
Set for deliveries starting in May, the new Model 3 Performance isn't just a step up in Tesla's lineup—it's a leap towards the future of performance driving. With a package that offers thrilling speed, innovative technology, and competitive pricing, Tesla continues to charge ahead in the electric vehicle race.
Tesla has released four months of real-world FSD (Supervised) data from the five EU countries where the system is approved, covering 65 million kilometers. The company reports 5.2x fewer collisions overall, zero collisions across 41.9 million highway kilometers, and steep drops in harsh braking, acceleration, and swerving compared to manual driving.
Ferrari has already sold every Luce it planned to build in 2026 — just under 500 units at roughly €550,000 ($640,000) each — despite a launch that drew some of the harshest design criticism in the brand's history. Demand is coming heavily from China, and deliveries haven't even started yet.
Mercedes-Benz has revealed a fully redesigned GLA built on an 800-volt EV architecture, with up to 408 miles of WLTP range, 320 kW fast charging, and two power outputs topping out at 349 horsepower. It's a mild off-roader with a transparent hood, an available Burmester sound system, and an MBUX assistant with generative AI baked in — but U.S. buyers will have to wait until the second half of 2027.
