Model 3 Long Range RWD

The Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD is a 5-seat saloon with rear-wheel drive, sold new in 2023, when it cost £46,990 in the UK, and now only available second-hand. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 5.9 seconds, quicker than 58% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 308 miles (495 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 78% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 31st of 48 saloons.

It uses around 4.1 mi/kWh (152 Wh/km), more efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 75 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 124 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 364 miles (586 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L). The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.

Second-hand, a 2023 example is estimated at £17,900–£19,700, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2023 car should still manage about 290 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
