Tesla's lowest-cost car yet, the Model 3, will also have the self-driving hardware
Electric carmaker Tesla says all cars it now builds will have hardware needed to drive completely on their own.In April, Tesla unveiled plans for its Model 3 vehicle, its lowest-cost to date, due for release next year. It has been reported that so far 400,000 have been pre-ordered. That vehicle will now also include the new hardware.
The basic model will start at $35,000 and have a range of at least 215 miles (346km) per charge. Analysts say the price and range of the five-seater should make the vehicle appeal to new

The firm faces competition from other similarly priced electric cars that will become available first, including General Motors' Chevy Bolt and BYD's Qin EV300.
