Tesla has confirmed that its Model 3, in AWD Long-range guise, will offer 338 miles of range on a WLTP cycle, meaning it takes the lead as the EV with the longest official range.
The Hyundai Kona EV previously laid claim to the title, with a range of 279 miles in 64kWh form.
It comes as the car maker launches its configurator for European customers who have already put down a deposit for a Model 3 saloon, revealing previously unconfirmed pricing and range details.
Model 3 pricing announced in Spain, Sweden, the Netherlands and France suggest the entry-level EV will be available from around £50,000, falling to £46,500 after taking into consideration the £3500 UK government incentive for zero-emission vehicles.
The Model 3 is on show in UK dealerships for the first time, with demonstration models on display at Tesla’s London Park Royal and Manchester Stockport locations, ahead of right-hand-drive models arriving in the second half of 2019.

Scrutiny?
I think if anything we know too much about Tesla and Musk. There are many public skeptics who've bet big money by shorting Tesla stock.

It's just the start
This is just the start. Expect to see many more EV's in the road in the coming years. And many more manufacturers competing with Tesla. Time to embrace the future and ditch the old fossils that we currently drive.
