Prior to the event, we'd known about many of the car's specs and features, like its 200+ mile range and $35,000 starting price (sans tax exemptions). But the main thing we wanted to see at this event was the car itself.

When Tesla CEO Elon Musk finally pulled the wraps off the Model 3, we were not disappointed. Take a look at this stunning car in big, beautiful photos.

The middle of the car looks like a Model S, but the front looks like a Model X.

The Model 3 is a sedan, but it's surprisingly roomy.

The Model 3 seats up to five people and can fit a 7-foot surfboard. I don't even own a surfboard and I'm excited about this fact.

This is one of my favorite views of the car. The swooping lines from the rear end of the car are modern, aerodynamic, and quite beautiful.

Here's another view of the central console. There's no separate console for the driver to see information like gas and speed, it's all right here on this touchscreen display.

Finally here's a look at the third color we saw on stage, which is a dark gray, almost charcoal color.

Unlike the other two cars on stage, the car's color is matte, which makes it look super sleek and high-end.

This is definitely my favorite color on this car.

As for other specs, the Model 3 comes with supercharging and Autopilot standard, but you'll have to pay extra for Autopilot's "convenience features," <a href="http://www.techinsider.io/every-tesla-model-3-comes-with-autopilot-2016-4"target="_blank">Musk tells Tech Insider</a>.

All in all, it looks like Tesla didn't cut corners to cut down on cost.
