While I think that some form of electric drive car is the future of automobiles, I've always been pretty critical of Tesla, mostly because of the cost and the range limits. I'm really impressed with their cars, they are fast as hell and luxurious and certainly covet worthy, but I like road trips and Tesla vehicles can't be taken on long road trips.
They still can't. The new model, however, breaks the cost barrier and is base priced at $35,000
It also has a 200 mile range, which, when combined with the price, makes it a great city/suburban car.

"I think we're going to try to do something more radical," says Elon Musk, creator of Tesla Motors, whose charging stations will power your Tesla for free, forever. This one, the Model III could be available in 2016, but more likely the middle or end of 2017. It's 20% lighter than the Model S and much cheaper.
The $35,000 price tag slashes the $60,000+ price of the Model S.
It will charge in just over 25 minutes and run 200 miles; Tesla's goal to build a cheap electric car is coming true at an accelerated pace
Tesla is attempting to focus attention on the Model S and the new Model X (Tesla's version of a minivan), because those are the ones you can buy now, but the Model III will be an undisputable game changer.
