CR had tested the Model 3 and included it a strongly fluctuating braking behavior determined, At the first full braking, the braking distance was shorter than indicated by Tesla, with all others sometimes much longer. The organization therefore advises against buying the electric car. Tesla explained that the braking behavior of a car can be influenced by many factors. That could be understood with a second test vehicle.
Tesla has responded to the criticism and checked the brakes. Thus, an algorithm that controls the anti-lock braking system (ABS) is the cause of the inconsistent braking behavior, Tesla boss Elon Musk tweeted, That will probably be remedied by updating the vehicle firmware, said Musk, This should be delivered in the coming days. Tesla will continue to work on the subject and try to shorten the braking distance of the Model 3. CR has announced that it will retest the Model 3 after the firmware upgrade.
The Model 3 is Tesla’s first car that is and should be affordable for a broader consumer base bring the breakthrough for the company, But prevent so far Problems in productionthat 5,000 Model 3 a week can be built as planned. As long as this number is not reached, Tesla according to Musk do not build the Model 3 in the basic version.
The cost of delivery was initially so high that Tesla make a loss, said Musk. Therefore, the Model 3 is only available in the more expensive versions. The Tesla boss expects Tesla to be able to build 5,000 cars of this type in July. Three to six months later, production of the $ 35,000 base model will begin.
