Tri-motor, all-wheel drive: $69,900
Tesla hasn't yet detailed battery sizes, but during the presentation, a max-range figure of over 500 miles was disclosed for the tri-motor model, while the dual-motor version was listed at 300-plus miles and the single-motor base model at a still-healthy 250-plus miles.
