" Tesla won&amp;#039;t officially introduce the $35,000 Model 3 until tomorrow, but a wild leak is already spilling the beans on the car&amp;#039;s performance specs. And they&amp;#039;re pretty astonishing, if they&amp;#039;re to be believed.\u00A0 Electrek cites unnamed insiders claiming that some variant of the Model 3 will do 0-60 in under 4 seconds, though the report doesn&amp;#039;t specify if this spec is for the base-model or a higher-end version with a bigger battery and all-wheel-drive.\u00A0An optional 80kWh battery pack will provide\u00A0a driving range of over 300 miles, the report claims. Our suspicion is that these specs are for the most expensive, performance-oriented version of the Model 3. Tesla will likely have to offer a very bare-bones version of the new all-electric car to meet its target starting price of $35,000, and that doesn&amp;#039;t leave room for a drivetrain that accelerates like a $70,000 BMW M4.\u00A0 Electrek&amp;#039;s report confirms this, saying that the top end of the Model 3 price range could touch $60,000\u2014with all-wheel-drive, an 80kWh battery, and Tesla&amp;#039;s Autopilot autonomous driving tech added on to whatever the base-level Model 3 offers. Meanwhile, Wired Germany just published an interview with Tesla designer Franz von Holzhausen at the automaker&amp;#039;s design headquarters in Hawthorne, California, that includes this tantalizing photo of an alleged Model 3 under cover:  The profile looks like a cross between the familiar Model S and the Model X crossover. Electrek&amp;#039;s unnamed insider describes the design as shorter and narrower than the S and X, slightly taller than the sedan, saying that the Model 3&amp;#039;s shape &amp;quot;seems so right.&amp;quot;\u00A0 Road &amp;amp;amp; Track will be live at the official unveiling of the Model 3 in Hawthorne, California tomorrow.
