Tesla’s Elon Musk has revealed his company’s plans to take on compact executive cars, such as the BMW 3-series and i3, with the Tesla Model 3. The all-electric Model 3 (which was originally going to be called the Model E) will be around 20% smaller than the Model S, and will have a shorter range of around 200 miles — but it will have "strong performance" like the Model S and start at just $35,000 (the Model S starts at around $70,000).
