Reviewer score 68% (normalized by Neofiliac)Tesla has given the Model 3 an early facelift, though one less comprehensive than those traditionally applied to cars four or five years into the model-cycle. The most significant addition to the car is the heat-pump from the Model Y mid-size SUV. Performance is brisk whichever powertrain you have, and the 283bhp motor in the Standard Range propels the car to 60mph in 5.3sec.
Pros
- Gorgeous interior
- Impressive range
- Fantastic electric powertrain
Cons
- Poor ride quality
- Dumb steering

Reviewer score 92% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Tesla Model 3 is the smallest, most affordable car in the American manufacturer’s range of EVs. It was an Auto Express 2020 Car of The Year award winner. Built to take on the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes C-Class, but Tesla also has one eye on the arrival of the BMW i4, as well as upstart executive EVs from the likes of Polestar.
Pros
- Fastest electric car on the market
- Powerful electric motors
- Impressive range
Cons
- No 30-day subscription to Tesla’s connected services

Reviewer score 88% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Tesla Model 3 is a winner – it has an impressive real-world battery range, a roomy and airy cabin, drives beautifully in all versions, and offers driver-assistance tech that largely works well in the UK. Despite nearly all controls being accessed via the central touchscreen, it all works well – as if the car's designers are as well versed in infotainment operating systems as they are in vehicle dynamics. It's not quite perfect – no car is – and there will be some who would bemoan the lack of SUV-style practicalities, while the fastback shape hints at a more useful hatchback the car didn't receive. There are already some murmurings about less-than optimum customer service when things go wrong, so a word to the wise if you're thinking of moving across a more established player.
Pros
- Impressive battery range
- Supercharger network
Cons
- No SUV-style practicality
- Limited interior options

Reviewer score 90% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Model 3 is by far the best-selling vehicle in the small but growing entry-level EV category. With its 15-inch dashboard touch screen that controls almost all of the car’s features and functions, it's a technophile's dream. All versions of the Model 3 offer standard driver assistance features, but the highlight is the Autopilot system.
Pros
- Best-in-class electric performance in the entry-level EV category
- High-quality interior
- Impressive battery life
Cons
- No Android Auto or Apple CarPlay
- Limited range

Reviewer score 88% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Tesla Model 3 is a lovely car and a perfect example of how electric cars can outperform their gasoline-powered counterparts. The car takes off the second you put your foot down on the accelerator, like a rollercoaster launching out of the station. While Tesla's electric motor is nearly silent, the rest of the world is not. There are aspects of the car that I would change because they’re not to my taste.
Pros
- Incredibly fast
- Excellent battery life
- Comfortable ride
Cons
- Expensive compared to other electric cars
- No dedicated handbrake
