The Tesla Model 3 is good to drive, packed full of tech, fast and even reasonably practical. It has firmer suspension than some alternatives, but it's not uncomfortable, even on beaten-up UK roads. It’s also competitively priced and well equipped, and when you factor in its long battery range and Tesla's world-beating charging infrastructure, it's a brilliant choice.

Even this entry-level Model 3 comes with plenty of luxuries, including climate control, adaptive cruise control, faux-leather seats (heated in the front) and keyless entry via an app on your smartphone. 

Much cheaper than the Long Range and Performance variants. There's a reason for this: the RWD has a smaller battery. However, you can still expect between 230 and 270 miles from a charge.
