Vehicle Specifications
Description
This 2020 Tesla Model 3 Performance offers a high level of electric driving capability for those seeking a modern and efficient vehicle. As an all-electric model with four wheel drive, it is designed to provide a stable and responsive driving experience. Inside, the cabin is equipped with several practical features, including heated front seats and two zone climate control to ensure comfort for all passengers.
The vehicle also includes convenient technology such as keyless go with keyless entry, adaptive cruise control, and rear parking sensors to assist with manoeuvring. The performance variant stands out due to its impressive technical specifications, most notably its ability to accelerate from 0 to 60mph in just 3.2 seconds. It is powered by an 82 kWh battery that provides a maximum range of 329 miles when new, allowing for longer journeys between charges.
When it comes to replenishing the battery, the vehicle offers flexibility, taking 12 hours for a full charge at home using a 7kW charger, or as little as 26 minutes to reach an 80 percent charge at a fast public charging station. These capabilities make it a capable choice for drivers who prioritise both speed and efficient electric range.

- Software Glitches: Though rare, occasional bugs or freezing of the central display can occur, often resolved by a simple reboot or software update.
- Suspension Noises: Some owners have reported creaks or knocks from the suspension, particularly on rougher road surfaces.
- Wind Noise: At higher speeds, some wind noise can be noticeable due to the frameless windows.
- Tyre Wear: The instant torque and performance can lead to quicker tyre wear if not rotated regularly.
Running Costs
Running costs for the Model 3 are a major draw:
- Electricity: Significantly cheaper than petrol/diesel per mile. Charging at home overnight on off-peak tariffs is the most economical.
- Servicing: Much simpler than traditional cars. No oil changes, exhaust systems, or spark plugs to worry about. Main servicing intervals are typically longer.
- Road Tax: Currently exempt from Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) for EVs.
- Company Car Tax (Benefit-in-Kind): Very attractive low rates for electric company cars, making it a popular choice for company car drivers.
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.
