We took the Tesla Model 3 for a test drive. Here are the best and worst features.

• Tesla is releasing the long-awaited $35,000 version of its Model 3 sedan, now available to order on its website.
• The Model 3 will be the least expensive of the Tesla models, with the most basic version starting at $35,000.
• We took the Tesla Model 3 for a test drive. The one we drove had a few upgrades, like a glass dome roof and some wooden interior details. It goes for $57,500.

Following is a transcript of the video.

So here we are, Ben and Matt from Business Insider, in the Tesla Model 3. This is the only Tesla we really haven't driven extensively at this point because it's so new. We picked it up in Manhattan. We've shot over to New Jersey so we can play around with things like Autopilot, which is on now: This is the car driving itself. Very snappy acceleration, pretty good handling.

Just from an enthusiast point of view, it's not a boring four-door mass-market sedan. It's exciting. It's a good-looking car. It is a Tesla, so it has all that brand power, "car of the future." Very minimalist interior — takes a little bit of getting used to. But it's striking. I think a lot of people are going to like it. The central touchscreen here controls almost all vehicle functions. So you do need to get used to that. But it's not going to be unfamiliar to anyone who's been in a Tesla.
