About the Tesla Model 3
Model 3 deliveries began in 2017 and UK right-hand-drive cars arrived later. The 2021 Standard Range Plus combines a single rear motor with an underfloor battery and access to Tesla’s Supercharger network. Over-the-air software updates and a minimalist, screen-led cabin distinguish it from conventional saloons. A major redesign, known as Highland, arrived in 2023 while the Model 3 name continued.
