UK deliveries and test drives for the updated Model 3 start 27 January

Revealed in autumn 2023, the upgraded and enhanced model will build on its 2019 forerunner with a range of new features, while pricing will now start from £39,990 for Rear-Wheel Drive variants and from £49,990 for Long-Range Drive.

Driving range now stands at 344 miles for the Rear-Wheel Drive, while the Long-Range All Wheel Drive can go for 391 miles (420 with Photon wheels).

Design changes deliver sharper styling with revised body lines that also improve aerodynamics. The line-up also gets sleeker headlights and two new colours: Ultra Red and Stealth Grey.

Cabin updates bring enhanced refinement, with 360 acoustic glass, two rear USB-C charge ports and customisable ambient lighting. The 15.4-inch centre display is now more user-friendly and second-row passengers get an 8-inch rear display for climate control and entertainment. Latest safety features include enhanced side-impact protection.

The Tesla retains its 250kWh charging speeds, potentially delivering up to 175 miles of driving in some 15 minutes, at V3 and V4 Superchargers.
