Superb is not enough to describe this car, very well put together, comfortable seats all round, fantastic to drive, performance to rival the very best of other cars, battery range is again best in a range of other ev,s. No ICE cars can beat this real pocket rocket.

Car is easy to drive and has a really good basic autopilot mode. Stereo is excellent and with connectivity on monthly subscription Spotify can be accessed. Reversing takes a bit of getting used to but sensors and camera help. USB Samsung drive bought for data storage of sentry mode. Needs to be formatted first but live sentry mode is good if you are worried about parking somewhere dubious. Drains about 6-9 miles for overnight. I have not driven any other model of Tesla but will buy accessories for boot and floor mats in due course. Handles well and acceleration is second to none. Very important to get it connected to WiFi as soon as purchased otherwise you cannot add payment method, identity and updates. I bought a small WiFi booster for my house for this. connection of car to phone makes access easier than card.

Very well put together, High quality seats and door surrounds, exceptionly good carpets, Quiet when driving, its only tyre noise one can hear. Tesla have gone over the top on the electrics, the power of these batteries and drive units really do outpace all other cars, and so easy to charge, advice is to get on the Economy 7 tariff it really does make for the lowest cost per mile driving.

Tesla Model 3 (2018-present) Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Affordable to buy for a premium electric car | A little cramped in the back and boot |
| Brilliant Tesla Supercharger network | No head-up display |
| Even better to drive since 2024 update | Latest version lacks physical stalks for major driving controls |
Quick Summary
The Tesla Model 3 (2018-present) is a pure-electric premium saloon that rivals the BMW 3 Series and competes with the Polestar 2, BMW i4, and Hyundai Ioniq 6. First launched in 2018, it received a significant update in 2024 that increased the official WLTP driving range to between 344 and 421 miles. The 2024 refresh introduced a minimalist interior with touchscreen controls for most functions, including indicators, windscreen wipers, and drive selection. The Model 3 is compatible with Type 2 and CCS sockets, allowing charging at most public chargers and Tesla Superchargers. Both the Rear-Wheel Drive and Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive variants offer rapid charging capabilities, with the Dual Motor managing up to 250kW and delivering a 175-mile top-up in just 15 minutes under ideal conditions.
The Model 3 offers adequate practicality with comfortable front seating and a low-set driver's position, though rear passenger space is somewhat cramped by class standards. The boot is compact, even with the additional cubby where the engine would be. Since the 2024 update, the Model 3 is more enjoyable to drive with improved suspension tuning, whilst maintaining excellent refinement and composure. It's one of the cheapest premium electric cars to buy and run, with low charging costs at home and free Vehicle Excise Duty. However, insurance costs are high, falling into groups 48-50. The minimalist interior design, lacking physical buttons and stalks, may not appeal to all drivers, and those seeking a more engaging drive or spacious interior might prefer alternatives.
Best for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking a premium electric car, those with access to home charging, drivers who value efficiency and advanced technology, and users of the Tesla Supercharger network.
Not ideal for: Drivers who prefer traditional physical controls, those needing maximum rear passenger or boot space, buyers prioritising engaging driving dynamics, or those seeking a head-up display as standard.
Comparison vs Key Rivals

| Tesla Model 3 | 5/5 | 4.2/5 | 30.7% | 4.4/5 |
| BMW i4 | 5/5 | 5.0/5 | 37.2% | 4.4/5 |
| Polestar 2 | 4/5 | N/A | 32.4% | 3.9/5 |
| Hyundai Ioniq 6 | 4/5 | 5.0/5 | 25.6% | 4.3/5 |
The Verdict
You should buy the Model 3 if: You're seeking an affordable premium electric car, have access to home charging, value efficiency and advanced technology, or regularly use the Tesla Supercharger network.
Consider alternatives if: You prefer traditional physical controls, need maximum rear passenger or boot space, prioritise engaging driving dynamics, or require a head-up display as standard.
Competitive Position: The Tesla Model 3 is one of the very best premium electric cars available, offering exceptional value, impressive range, and access to the excellent Tesla Supercharger network. Whilst the BMW i4 provides a more engaging driving experience and the Polestar 2 offers better rear passenger comfort, the Model 3 remains more affordable to buy and run. The minimalist interior design and lack of physical controls may deter some drivers, but for those seeking efficiency, advanced technology, and cost-effective ownership, the Model 3 is a remarkable choice that sets the standard for semi-autonomous driving aids and remains more affordable than almost all close rivals.
