Tesla Model 3 2019 (69) - STANDARD RANGE PLUS 4d 302 BHP 4-Door

Insurance Group 48, 2 Previous Owners, The Tesla Model 3 has made quite an impact and is now a common sight on our roads as the take up of electric cars really accelerates. It brings Tesla&039;s innovative battery and motor technology to a more affordable end of the market, having been revised for 2024 and available for a much lower price than before. The Model 3 has been tempting many of you out of your conventional piston-engined executive cars, and into the world of EV ownership. And that&039;s why it won the overall car of the year title in the 2020 Parkers New Car Awards, and is still a front-running EV today. Tesla&039;s &039;Project Highland&039; update brings a facelifted front end, better aerodynamics for a better battery range, lower noise levels, and a revised interior with better quality finishes than before and an (even more) simplified cockpit layout. The revisions can&039;t come a moment too soon. Although the Model 3&039;s still competitive, the arrival of new rivals such as the Polestar 2, BMW i4, Hyundai Ioniq 6 and BYD Seal, mean that the innovative car maker was right not to be too complacent.The Model 3 currently has a very simple layout - you can buy it in Rear Wheel Drive (344-mile range) and Long Range (421 miles) forms with a limited set of options and configurations. The main add-ons are around its self-driving capability, although Basic Autopilot comes with all models. Other standard features are over the air updates for its operating system, Sentry Mode - security system that activates the cameras if the car is disturbed while it&039;s locked - is included, as is the excellent Tesla mobile app. The Model 3 is aggressively priced, especially in entry-level Rear Wheel Drive form, but the range-topping Long Range Model also undercuts its rivals. The old Performance model is no longer available, although it&039;s likely to return in 2024 once sales of the updated model get up to speed. The original went on sale in 2018, and was mildly updated a number of times, with a series of tweaks in late 2021 before the facelift in 2023. In use, a Tesla Model 3 shouldn&039;t offer up too many anxieties around its range. When the battery runs low, the sat-nav automatically diverts the car to the nearest available Tesla Supercharger.
