NEW TESLA MODEL 3 REVIEW – STILL THE BEST ELECTRIC CAR?

EV Channels Review

The Tesla Model 3, despite its age, remains a compelling electric vehicle, particularly after its recent facelift. The review highlights significant improvements in refinement and ride comfort, addressing previous criticisms. Its standout features include exceptional efficiency, rapid charging capabilities (especially on the Long Range AWD model), and a class-leading real-world range, even in adverse winter conditions. The updated interior boasts a more premium feel and improved materials, though some controversial changes like the touchscreen-operated gear selector and capacitive steering wheel indicators are noted as drawbacks. The large infotainment screen is praised for its responsiveness and functionality, though the lack of Apple CarPlay/Android Auto is a minor omission. Practicality is excellent, with ample boot space and a useful frunk. While the entry-level Rear-Wheel Drive model offers superior value at a £10,000 lower price point, the Long Range AWD version is lauded for its performance, extensive standard equipment, and overall package, solidifying its position as a top contender in the EV market.
