5 things we want to see in Tesla's first affordable car

Tesla is set to unveil its first mass market car, the Model 3, this month. 

The company began sending out invites to the event this week; the event itself happens March 31 in Los Angeles.

CEO Elon Musk has already said that the car will cost $35,000, have a range of about 200 miles, and be smaller than the Model S. Other details, however, have yet to be revealed. 

Musk has said a few times now that the Model 3 won't have as many bells and whistles as previous cars, which isn't surprising considering it's a lot more affordable than the Model S and the Model X - literally tens of thousands of dollars less.

But that doesn't mean it'll be less innovative than other Tesla cars. 

Tesla's chief technology officer JB Straubel recently said that he thinks people will be surprised at the number of features it includes. He also said that the car would have Tesla's "next generation" technology. 

Here's a few things we hope Tesla decides to include in the Model 3.
