Tesla (TSLA) Already Seen 'Dummying-Down' Key Model 3 Features

Will Tesla's (Nasdaq: TSLA) Model 3 be as good as CEO Elon Musk said it would during the company's March 31st event?

According to Electrek.co, that might not be the case.

The report points out how three elements of the Model 3 have been "downgraded": Supercharging, Safety, and Autopilot.

As the Model 3 launched, the official page said it would have a 5-Star Safety Rating In All Categories, have Autopilot Safey Features, and Supercharging for Long Distance Travel.

The Model 3 page now says the vehicle is Designed for Safety, has Autopilot Hardware, and is Supercharging Capable.

And, current:

While the change might be jarring for some, the launch of the Model 3 is still around 18 months away and things are subject to change between now and then.

Musk also recently hinted on Twitter that the Model 3 might sport heads-up display (HUD) features at some point. Musk & Co. are planning a second part of the Model 3 unveiling, after all.
