The Tesla 3 has been one of the most sought-after electric vehicles in the world for years. And this is definitely the most recognizable car with an all-electric drive. It was this sedan that became the pioneer of the young electric car market, which had previously been poorly developed and was not of interest to the average car enthusiast.
How does the Tesla Model 3 differ from other Tesla models
For 2025, one of the largest brands of electric vehicles in the world has only 5 car models in its fleet: 3, S, Y, X and Cybertruck. And if the latest model from this list is a niche electric car, then the first one, on the contrary, is aimed at the mass consumer. It differs from other Tesla sedan models in the following:
- Car size and class – the Model 3 is the most affordable sedan of the brand;
- Technical characteristics – the electric car is noticeably inferior to the premium Model S in both power and power reserve;
- Country of manufacture – unlike the premium S, X and Cybertruck, the sedan is also assembled in China and Germany.;
- The target audience – Tesla is aiming for an audience that is considering buying a mid-budget sedan or a used business class.
For the new Tesla Model 3, the price can start at $36,300. We are talking about a Chinese–built electric car - they are slightly cheaper than the “Americans”.
Reviews of Tesla Model 3 owners: pros and cons
One of the main disadvantages of the Tesla Model 3 is considered to be.. the minimalism of this car. It manifests itself in everything from body design to interior design. Many drivers have been trying to get used to the fact that there are almost no familiar buttons inside the Tesla Model 3. Touch control is convenient in its own way, but it cannot replace mechanical buttons and switches yet - there is not enough clear tactile feedback. Such disadvantages of the model can also be highlighted:
- Average adaptation to off-road conditions and poor-quality roads (a common problem for many sedans);
- High suspension stiffness;
- Expensive replacement of electric motors and batteries.
Disadvantages common to all electric cars: reduced power reserve at negative or excessively high air temperatures, dependence on charging infrastructure. However, all this is fully compensated by the advantages of the machine: dynamics, comfort, safety, ease of learning, advanced multimedia.
