Model 3 RWD (Highland)

The Tesla Model 3 RWD (Highland) is a 5-seat saloon with rear-wheel drive, on sale in the UK from £37,990. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 6.2 seconds, quicker than 54% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 280 miles (450 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 59% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 39th of 48 saloons.

It uses around 4.7 mi/kWh (133 Wh/km), more efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 60 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 110 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 331 miles (533 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L). The battery uses LFP chemistry, which manufacturers generally allow to be charged to 100% routinely.

Its UK starting price works out at £136 per mile of real-world range, lower than the median for saloons (£245 per mile).

Second-hand, a 2025 example is estimated at £21,700–£24,700, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2025 car should still manage about 274 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
