The article from CleanTechnica outlines the key differences and feature reductions in the new, more affordable Tesla Model 3 and Model Y trims, particularly focusing on the Standard Model 3. Compared to higher-end trims like the Premium and Performance versions, the Standard Model 3 offers a lower range (321 miles vs. up to 363 miles), slower acceleration (5.8 seconds to 60 mph vs. as quick as 2.9 seconds), and reduced supercharging speed. Several comfort and convenience features have been removed or downgraded, including the absence of subwoofers, FM radio, power-adjustable steering wheel, customizable ambient lighting, heated second-row seats, power-adjust and auto-dimming side mirrors, and advanced shock absorbers.
