The screen also shows important driver information, such as speed and cruise control information.
Tesla is as much a car company as it is a tech company, and that really shows throughout the interior.

Tesla Model 3 history
Tesla’s Model 3 first came out in 2019, and quickly became the go-to electric hatchback, offering high levels of tech, a strong range and use of Tesla’s Supercharger network.
> First-generation Tesla Model 3 (2019-2023) - following the Model S’ success, Tesla launched the ‘3’ to compete with more mainstream brands making hatchbacks
> Second-generation Tesla Model 3 (2023-present) - with a more angular design and tech upgrades, the new Model 3 changed for the better
It’s hard to know where to start because every used Tesla Model 3 for sale has a lot of luxury, including a full-length panoramic sunroof that blocks out UV rays.
There's the option to pay for more advanced self-driving features, but every Tesla Model 3 comes with at least Basic Autopilot, which includes adaptive cruise control and self-steering.
You can also use the app for things like pre-heating, programming the sat-nav and controlling charging schedules, as well as unlocking the car hands-free.
Electric cars have very few moving parts to go wrong, which means they’re often more dependable than internal combustion engines.
Add Tesla’s experience and investments to this and you’ve got yourself a very reliable car.
The remote servicing (via the app) is also something to consider, should you ever be faced with an issue.
Extremely good aerodynamics and specially selected tyres result in an extremely efficient car, so it should be easy to achieve the claimed range figures with the right type of driving.
The basic Rear-Wheel Drive model gets 318 miles of range, rising to 328 miles with the Performance and a whopping 390 miles with the top-spec Model 3 Long Range.
Use a 7kW charger at home and charging speeds will be less, but cheaper. Whereas if you use a Tesla Supercharger, you could get up to 171 miles of range in just 15 minutes.
A used Tesla Model 3 for sale appeals to many types of drivers, including families and businesspeople for its shape and size, as well as those with an eye on sustainability or technology.
Rivals include the Polestar 2, Hyundai IONIQ 5 and BMW i4.
The cost of a Tesla Model 3 will depend on the model you pick, as prices vary across the range. We usually see our cheapest Model 3s costing around £36,750 to buy, with prices going up to about £50,800 depending on the model variant and engine spec.
These prices may change depending on the models we have in stock at the time, and each one is available on a finance deal if you’d like to spread the cost.
How long it takes to charge a Tesla Model 3 really depends on where you charge it. For example, using a Tesla Supercharger will take less than 30 minutes, whereas a wall charger at home might take several hours to fully charge your Model 3.
In terms of cost, it would be cheaper to charge at home, but it will take longer. At the end of the day, it depends which method works best for you.
It's definitely worth buying a Tesla Model 3 if you are either someone who's ready to take the EV plunge or whether you are an existing EV customer but fancy something different. The Model 3 offers great reliability, safety, performance, tech, and comfort at a competitive price.
Teslas don’t need a lot of maintenance compared to cars with petrol or diesel engines simply because there are less moving parts that could go wrong. There is also no need to worry about engine oil and other maintenance like that because the batteries are self-sufficient.
Any modern Tesla can be fitted with the brand’s Autopilot system by purchasing it through the app. It comes at an added cost but is worth trying for someone who does a lot of motorway miles, or for someone who is interested in the latest and greatest technology.
