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 premium electric 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 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. Available in Rear-Wheel Drive and Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive variants, both offer rapid charging capabilities—the dual motor manages up to 250kW, delivering a 175-mile top-up in just 15 minutes under ideal conditions.
The Model 3 is one of the cheapest premium electric cars to buy and run, with finance deals typically more competitive than rivals. Charging at home via a 7kW wall box takes 10-12 hours for a full charge, whilst off-peak electricity tariffs can halve running costs compared to petrol cars. The car is free of Vehicle Excise Duty and offers free London Congestion Zone entry until end of 2025. However, insurance costs are high (groups 48-50), and rear passenger space and boot capacity are compromised compared to traditional saloons. The minimalist interior design, whilst stylish and efficient, may frustrate drivers accustomed to physical controls.
Best for: Budget-conscious premium electric car buyers, those prioritising charging convenience via the Supercharger network, and drivers seeking an efficient, technologically advanced executive saloon.
Not ideal for: Drivers requiring spacious rear seating or large boot capacity, those preferring traditional physical controls, or buyers seeking the most engaging driving dynamics in the premium electric segment.
Comparison vs Key Rivals
| Vehicle | CarGurus Expert Rating | CarGurus User Rating | Good/Great deals % | Overall CarGurus Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tesla Model 3 | 5/5 | 4.2/5 | 28.6% | 4.4/5 |
| BMW i4 | 5/5 | 5.0/5 | 30.8% | 4.4/5 |
| Polestar 2 | 4/5 | N/A | 33.9% | 3.9/5 |
| Hyundai Ioniq 6 | 4/5 | 5.0/5 | 37.8% | 4.4/5 |
The Verdict
You should buy the Model 3 if: You're seeking an affordable premium electric car with excellent charging infrastructure, prioritise efficiency and low running costs, or want a technologically advanced executive saloon.
Consider alternatives if: You require spacious rear seating and a large boot, prefer traditional physical controls, or desire the most engaging driving dynamics available in the premium electric segment.
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 Supercharger network. Whilst the BMW i4 delivers more engaging driving dynamics and the Hyundai Ioniq 6 offers better value for money, the Model 3 strikes an excellent balance between affordability, technology, and ownership experience. Its minimalist interior and compact rear space may deter some buyers, but for those prioritising efficiency, charging convenience, and advanced semi-autonomous driving aids, the Model 3 remains a remarkable choice, whether buying new or used.
