Tesla Model 3 Design Leaked; Aesthetics Will Not Be Sacrificed Claimed Source

Things are looking up for Tesla's newest release- the Model 3. According to reports, apart from it noteworthy features and more affordable price tag, the new EV will come with a very prominent design.
Electrek recently reported that a source close to the Tesla design team has revealed a lot of exciting developments for the Model 3. "What I'm hearing internally is that CEO Elon Musk is intensely driving the engineering designers to deliver a design with a drag coefficient lower than .20 which would make it the lowest of any mass production car in the world and close to extreme vehicles like GM's EV1 and Volkswagen's XL1," the source claimed.
"Achieving extremely low drag coefficients can often result in unconventional - at times unappealing - designs. But considering Musk's penchant for aesthetics, it is unlikely Tesla will sacrifice visual appeal for better aerodynamic performance."
Tesla has been around for 13 years now, and while it is known to manufacture high-end cars more than anything else, the auto company has decided to create a stand-out EV that is more affordable. "Tesla is targeting an electric range of 200 miles with the Model 3, which isn't quite as far as its siblings, but plenty of range to commute to work or go on a mini-roadtrip," Tech Radar shared.
The outlet continued to compare the Model 3 with Chevrolet's Bolt which will also be released this year. As far as predictions and early reviews are concerned, it looks like both cars are good options. However, Tesla's Model 3 can have the upper hand over the Bolt since its base model costs $2500 cheaper.
The Tesla Model 3 will be unveiled at 8:30 pm PT, 11:30 EST, 3:30 am GMT (April 1) and 1:30 pm AEST (April 1) to select owners. The price for Tesla's newest EV will start at $35,000 excluding taxes.
