Tesla Model 3 RWD
The Tesla Model 3 RWD is among the more affordable saloons in this comparison. Its estimated charging cost is about 1.8p a mile on an off-peak tariff, about £1,907 a year below the petrol equivalent using the assumptions shown here.
What owners say: Excellent driving dynamics with responsive steering, handling, and smooth one-pedal regenerative braking. Removal of physical stalks for wipers and turn signals creates safety concerns and requires constant touchscreen interaction while driving.

What Owners Say
BalancedOwners Love
- Excellent driving dynamics with responsive steering, handling, and smooth one-pedal regenerative braking
- Superior touchscreen interface that is intuitive, responsive, and readable in sunlight
- Growing Supercharger network offers reliable charging infrastructure with competitive pricing
Watch Out For
- Removal of physical stalks for wipers and turn signals creates safety concerns and requires constant touchscreen interaction while driving
- Automatic windshield wipers frequently malfunction in light rain and drizzle due to camera-based Tesla Vision system
- Unreliable indicator stalk (on older models with stalks) frequently malfunctions or doesn't respond consistently
Owner Tips
- Test drive the specific model configuration before ordering to experience controls, door handles, and touchscreen usability in real driving conditions
- Use home charging with EV-specific energy tariffs to maximize cost savings; home charging is significantly cheaper than public chargers
- Plan road trips using Tesla navigation which automatically routes through Superchargers based on real-time availability and charging needs
