Great choice! The Tesla Model 3 is a battery-powered electric car.
Plug-in cars are usually hybrid, meaning they have both an engine and an electric motor. The
Model 3
receives power from a large battery sitting at its base.
Since it’s battery operated, most owners do the bulk of their charging at home, overnight. Depending on your location, you can top up at supermarkets and public charging stations as needed.
The Tesla Model 3 is arguably the most popular electric car worldwide.
The best thing you can do for your Model 3 is to secure the finest protection available. The
