Tesla’s Model 3 is a fantastic, fully electric vehicle that is able to travel up to 353 miles per charge. Not only that, but they have amazing safety features as well as a futuristic autopilot. Just because this vehicle is great with its ability to hit 60 miles per hour in just 3.1 seconds and having a top speed of 162 mph while retaining its ecofriendliness, it does not mean that there are not improvements that can be made for protection and aesthetic purposes through exterior modifications.
