Description
This 2020 Tesla Model 3 Long Range presents a remarkable opportunity with its exceptionally low mileage of just 48,830 miles for its age. As an all electric, four wheel drive vehicle, it boasts a substantial 78 kWh battery, offering a maximum range of 360 miles when new. This impressive electric saloon also features a fixed panoramic glass roof, front parking sensors with parking assistance, and LED headlights for enhanced visibility and convenience.
Inside, you will find air conditioning and heated front seats, ensuring comfort in all conditions. The Model 3 Long Range truly excels with its performance and practicality. Its acceleration is a standout feature, capable of reaching 0-60mph in a swift 4.2 seconds, demonstrating its dynamic capabilities.
For those seeking efficiency, a full charge at home using a 7kW charger takes approximately 12 hours, while rapid charging on the go can replenish the battery from empty to 80% in as little as 26 minutes at a public charging station. Furthermore, this model offers generous boot space, making it a practical choice for everyday use and longer journeys.

Variants
The Model 3 is typically available in three main variants in the UK:
- Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD): The entry-level model, offering a good balance of range and performance for everyday use.
- Long Range All-Wheel Drive (AWD): Offers a considerably longer range and all-wheel drive for enhanced traction and acceleration.
- Performance All-Wheel Drive (AWD): The range-topping model, focusing on ultimate acceleration and handling, but with a slightly reduced range compared to the Long Range.
