With over 400,000 US deliveries as of August 2022 and over 1 million sales globally, Tesla’s Model 3 is the best-selling EV in the United States—and for good reason. Its long range, high tech, and low price make Tesla’s third production vehicle the best value on the market. The Model 3 shares the classic Tesla Model S profile with a shorter nose and a slightly elevated rear roofline. Among its many creative features are its streamlined, flush mounted door handles which lever up from one side when pressed at the other. The Model 3 comes in four trims: Standard, Standard Plus, Performance, and Long Range AWD. The Standard and Standard Plus offer affordability while the Performance and Long Range provide increased power and improved battery efficiency, respectively. The latter three are available on Tesla’s website while the least expensive Standard must be ordered by phone.

The Model 3’s interior employs a minimalist aesthetic, with a dashboard sporting only a single continuous air vent and one large, landscape-oriented center touchscreen. Its glass roof stretches from the front windshield to the backseat-headrests for a panoramic view. Living up to Tesla’s reputation as a technical sophisticate, The Model 3 offers semi- autonomous driving. The car will speed up, slow down, and change lanes independently of the driver. Regarding safety, the Model 3 is one of the most highly rated cars on the road, boasting a perfect five-star score from NHTSA. The Model 3 is the complete automotive package and a common-sense buy for any prospective car owner.
