Meet Henry Payne's new Tesla Model 3

The Tesla Model 3 is available with AWD or RWD. This is the RWD version.

Including $1,000 and $2,500 deposits, Payne's Tesla Model 3 cost $57,450. He'll get $7,500 of that back on his taxes due to a federal EV tax credit — though Payne will probably just blow it on more wheels or something.

The Tesla Model 3 is almost entirely controlled via its 15-inch touch screen, making it an iPhone on wheels.

Charging for the Tesla Model 3 can be set automatically. It can also be controlled remotely via an app. Driven in chilly November weather in Detroit at 80 mph highway speeds, the battery returns just 60 percent of advertised battery range.

The Tesla Model 3 features a very detailed Google Earth map in the screen.

The Tesla Model 3 gets regular, over-the-air updates. Version 9.0 added the ability to adjust vent positioning on the screen.
