Thinking of getting a Tesla Model 3?
The style of the car
All Teslas have a very distinctive look that you’re unlikely to mistake for any other car and that’s absolutely the case with the Model 3. Though it looks like a hatchback, it’s actually a saloon. The interior’s dominated by a large, tablet-style touchscreen display through which most of the car’s features and functions are controlled.
How it drives
The Model 3 is as fast and enjoyable to drive as some sports cars. Every version is exceptionally quick, good fun on a winding road and smooth and comfortable on the motorway. As with any electric car there’s no gearbox as such, you just put your foot down and go. The driver has a good view out and parking sensors and cameras are fitted as standard to aid manoeuvring. Some models have an ‘Autopilot’ function, which can allow you to hand over control of the acceleration, braking and steering to the car itself on motorways as long as conditions allow and you keep your hands on the steering wheel. Tesla’s widespread network of Supercharger stations make long journeys easier than with any other electric car.
The interior
The Model 3 is a mid-size saloon with four doors and five seats. It’s about the same size as the Audi A4 and Mercedes C-Class. Without a bulky engine and gearbox taking up space in the car, the Model 3’s interior is extremely spacious. Four tall people fit very comfortably, so it works well as a family car whatever the age of your children. The boot is smaller than that of most rivals, with just enough space for four medium suitcases. But there’s another boot under the bonnet that can hold a couple of weekend-away soft bags. All models have a panoramic glass roof, climate control, sat nav and heated seats.
Running costs
According to official figures, the Model 3 has a range on a fully charged battery of 267-360 miles, depending on which version you have. A Supercharger tops up the battery from 20-80% capacity in 40 minutes. Model 3 owners have to pay to use the Tesla Supercharger network, unlike owners of earlier Tesla cars, but it costs less than filling a fuel tank. Plug into a ‘wallbox’ EV charger at home in the evening and the battery will be fully charged by morning.
How it compares with similar cars
As an electric mid-size saloon, the Model 3 has few rivals. There’s the Polestar 2 and high-spec Nissan Leafs and Volkswagen ID.3s. Those rivals are more practical than the Model 3 but can’t match its range or the convenience of the Supercharger network.
