After briefly selling the bare Standard Range, Tesla pivoted to the Standard Range Plus as the real entry point. It added about 10 miles of range over the SR along with the premium interior features most buyers wanted anyway: better audio, heated seats, and the partial premium package. The price crept above $35k, but the value proposition was hard to argue with.

The SR+ became Tesla's volume seller worldwide and the best-selling electric car globally for several years running. It was the trim that brought EVs into the mainstream, outselling comparably priced gas sedans in multiple markets. This was the car that made the Model 3's mission real.
