Our review of the Tesla Model 3
Compiled with the help of AI from the sources listed; facts checked automatically. We have not driven this car.
The Tesla Model 3 costs from € 36,990 (January 2026 price list; according to TopGear, prices stay the same after the October 2026 update). The entry version has a WLTP range of 534 km according to RDW, at 130 Wh/km. The Premium Long Range rear-wheel drive reaches 750 km according to RDW.
According to ANWB and TopGear, the Model 3 is a quick, smooth electric saloon; ANWB calls the chassis sporty yet comfortable. Among the drawbacks ANWB mentions are controls that distract and driver assistance that does not always work well. Euro NCAP gave it five stars in 2025 and named it Best in Class in the Large Family Car category. The entry version costs € 36,990 (January 2026 price list); EV Update calls the entry price low for its class.
Buy it if…
- You drive many kilometres and want an efficient electric saloon: 125 to 165 Wh/km according to RDW, depending on the version.
- You want a long range: the Premium Long Range rear-wheel drive reaches 750 km WLTP according to RDW.
- You want quick performance: from 6.2 seconds to 100 km/h for the entry version to 3.1 seconds for the Performance, according to TopGear.
- A low entry price matters to you: the Model 3 starts at € 36,990 (January 2026 price list).
Skip it if…
- You need to tow more than 1,000 kg: RDW lists 1,000 kg braked, and 500 kg for the Performance.
- You want physical buttons: according to ANWB, the turn signals are buttons on the steering wheel, which is awkward on roundabouts.
- You value strong side support from the seats: ANWB finds it limited.
- You want a model that stays in production for a long time: EV Update (December 2025) describes the Model 3 as several years old and close to the end of its life cycle.
