Tesla has overcome one of the problems that was worrying the manufacturer the most in recent months. His most economical model, Model 3, has passed the requirements of the Dutch Automobile Authority (RDW), an organization in charge of giving the necessary permits to manufacturers who want to market in Europe.
Model 3, the key piece in Tesla's growth
This go-ahead comes as a gigantic balm for the electric vehicle company, since its Model 3 is presented as the key model to settle in the market and stand up to the traditional automobile industry with the arrival of a 100% electric model. cheaper than what Tesla is used to offering. With a price that starts from 59.100 euros in Spain, the manufacturer estimates that deliveries will take place in the month of March, so delivery times would be quite short if a unit is requested at this time.
Elon Musk has always stated that his business model is based on developing increasingly cheaper units, but to get to that point they need to increase sales of their current models, something that the Model 3 could help to achieve. Thanks to this permission to circulate in Europe, the brand will be able to continue implementing its plans, a strategy that is increasingly in a hurry and is much more pressured by the competition, since the usual brands are already beginning to invest in electric models, and it is expected that in the next few years the investment in electric vehicles and batteries will reach 300 billion dollars.
How much is a Tesla Model 3 worth?
Today we can configure a unit to our liking starting from the $59.100. We can always go up to 70.100 if we want the Performance version, with a little more power and speed, but a little less autonomy. Choosing another color other than black will mean an increase of at least 1.600 euros (2.700 if we choose red), while one of the star functions, Autopilot, will cost 5.300 euros (7.400 if we install it after delivery).
Another of the most important points of the deployment are the delivery times, a detail that seems to be controlled, since according to what they say in TechCrunch, a cargo ship to the top of Model 3 goes directly to Zeebrugge (Belgium) expecting to dock on February 2.
