The updated Tesla Model 3 is pretty much an all-new car<\/h2>\n

    The difference is tangible. There\u2019s very little road noise, even on our car\u2019s larger 19-inch wheels (18s are standard) and you\u2019ll not notice significant wind noise around the A-pillars either \u2013 even at 70mph. This, added to the Tesla\u2019s excellent Autopilot semi-autonomous drive functionality make it an excellent motorway car.<\/p>\n

    You\u2019ll still notice a faint pitter-patter on most roads \u2013 the damping clearly isn\u2019t as accomplished as an i4\u2019s, but it\u2019s significantly more pliant than a Polestar 2\u2019s. The Model 3 rarely crashes into bumps, and deals with camber changes well.<\/p>\n


    \n<\/p>\n

    At first, this doesn\u2019t seem like too much of a challenge. Leaving a car park or approaching a junction with the steering wheel dead ahead, the buttons are exactly where you want them to be. They self-cancel once you\u2019ve made a turn, and even know when you\u2019ve changed lanes. But try to find those switches on the exit of a roundabout \u2013 with half a turn of lock or more \u2013 and you\u2019ll have no choice but to give up.<\/p>\n

    For now there are just two Model 3s to choose from, with no confirmation whether a flagship Performance variant will return in time. Prices have been slashed once again, so the base car now comes in at under \u00a340,000. That\u2019s astonishing value when you consider the cheapest i4 costs at least \u00a310k more.<\/p>\n

    Our Tesla has a quoted range of up to 344 miles, while the Long Range (from \u00a349,990) can do up to 421 miles on a charge \u2013 both those figures tallying with the smaller of the two wheel options. Entry-level Model 3s can charge at up to 170kW, meaning a 10-80 per cent charge at a Supercharger will take around 27 minutes. Long Range cars boost this to 250kW, but the bigger battery means a slightly lengthier charge time.<\/p>\n

    The standard kit list casts further shade on this car\u2019s rivals. Every Model 3 gets those razor-sharp screens front and rear, vegan leather alternative and a glass roof, plus ambient lighting and wireless phone charging. Our car\u2019s Stealth Grey paint is new for the facelift, but a \u00a32,000 option on all models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
