Tesla Model 3 Specs, Electric Power & Dimensions (2017–2024) — First Generation
The first-generation Tesla Model 3 is an electric sedan sold with rear- or all-wheel drive. Automatic versions in this generation differ in power, traction, and how they fit daily commuting.
Tesla Model 3 horsepower comes from one or two electric motors, with a single-speed automatic transmission. Standard Plus and AT rear-wheel-drive versions drive the rear axle; the AT all-wheel-drive example adds a second motor. That drivetrain choice changes traction in rain and how hard the sedan pulls away.
Sedan — Tesla Model 3 Electric Power and Drivetrain
Tesla Model 3 trim levels sit on a named technical version rather than replacing it. Standard Plus rear-wheel drive lists equipment as Standart, covering cabin and convenience items. Match trims to the same powertrain so you do not mix equipment with another motor layout.
Tesla Model 3 battery capacity is the pack that feeds the motors. Standard Plus and Standard RWD sedans both use a lithium-ion battery, so range and charging depend on pack size, weather, and how you drive. Overnight home charging covers daily miles; DC charging is for longer trips.
