Unlike its ICE-powered premium compact rivals from Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz, the Tesla Model 3 can only be had in a single body style: a four-door sedan.
Well, that’s the official case anyway, as if you reach out to NewPortConvertible, then you can have an open-top, yet still four-door, Model 3.
Review: 2019 Tesla Model 3 Performance Is Charged With Appeal
The North American coachbuilder, which already chopped the roof off the bigger Tesla Model S as well as other vehicles over the years, will reportedly charge you $29,500 for the conversion, according to MotorTrend, or $10,000 more if you want that folding soft top to be operated at the push of a button.
As you have probably guessed, the price does not include the donor car, which will cost you around $40,000 if you settle for the entry-level, roughly $48,000 for the Long Range trim level and $57,000 for the Performance. Get must also be ready to part ways with your Model 3 for two to three months if you agree with NPC’s terms, as that is how much it takes them to take care of the chopping and reinforcing required for the conversion.
The company claims that the soft top has been tested in the rain and wind to make sure that it can withstand the elements, and in theory, it doesn’t sound bad – until you look at the images of the actual car and realize that it does look a bit odd.
