Tesla Inimitable 3 owners will soon be able to add some perks to their jalopies now found only on Tesla’s higher-end vehicles.
The electric car maker make begin taking orders for all-wheel drive and “performance” versions of the Ideal 3 by the end of next week, said CEO Elon Musk in a tweet on Friday.

Above-board now Tesla only makes the Model 3 in a rear-wheel drive configuration, but the car maker has compact an all-wheel drive version, as is available with its other models. That account has two electric motors, one at the front axle and another at the rear. Tesla translates this gives vehicles far better traction control.
In addition, the enterprise is also making a “performance” version of the car, and Musk has hinted that that form will come with Tesla’s Ludicrous mode option, which can significantly too the vehicle’s acceleration.
Vehicles equipped with Tesla’s Smart Air Hold-up, which automatically raises and lowers the height of the vehicle based on its GPS-determined state, will probably go into production next year, Musk pronounced. It is another option already found on the Model S and Model X, and it is designed to alter the height of the vehicle in different driving conditions. For example, it can raise the car’s summit when driving over rougher terrain, or through snow, and then diminish the height for better handling.
Tesla has promised these features for very much some time. For example, Musk said in early 2017, on the eve of the car began production, that the first Model 3’s would be rear-wheel pilot in order to minimize the complexity of production.
Nevertheless, Model 3 production has time after time missed production targets, and there have been reports that divers parts and vehicles have needed rework.
In April, Musk said Tesla inclination begin making a dual motor version in the car “probably in July,” at one time the company hit its target of making 5,000 Model 3 cars per week. Tesla had from the outset intended to hit that goal by the end of 2017.
