rwd-4dr-auto

Much cheaper than the Long Range and Performance variants, but there's a reason for this: the RWD has a smaller battery. Expect 200-230 miles from a full charge, compared with 250-290 miles from the Long Range.

The Long Range has (yep you guessed it) the longest range of any Model 3. It's the pick of the range.

Long Range AWD

This range-topping variant combines bonkers acceleration (we've tested it going from 0-60mph in 3.3sec) with a long range between charges. Well worth a look, but the cheaper Long Range model is still very fast and will get you farther on a battery charge.

Performance AWD

Comes very well equipped, with adaptive cruise control, keyless entry, LED headlights, power-folding mirrors, electrically operated front seats and steering column, heated front and rear seats, a 15in infotainment screen with Google Maps, Netflix and web browsing, a premium audio system, wireless charging, climate control, faux-leather seats, a rear-view camera, a panoramic glass roof and all-round parking sensors. Our pick of the range.

Performance

Saloon

Tesla is the company that changed the car industry, putting electric cars at the forefront of public conscious – helped by the personality and profile of boss Elon Musk.

Today, Tesla has a wider line-up than ever, with the BMW 3 Series-rivalling Model 3 set to make its products more accessible. Alongside the Model 3, the larger Model S saloon and the Model X SUV continue to turn heads, while a new roadster, complete with supercar-beating acceleration, is in the works.

However, while the cars are all impressive, and for all that Tesla has acted as a catalyst for the more traditional car firms to develop electric vehicles, it’s a firm that continues to attract criticism, most notably for the reliability of its vehicles – a fact verified in the latest What Car? Reliability Survey.
