Model 3 RWD (Highland - CATL 6L)

The Tesla Model 3 RWD (Highland - CATL 6L) is a 5-seat saloon with rear-wheel drive, sold new from 2023 to 2025, when it cost £39,990 in the UK, and now only available second-hand. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 6.1 seconds, quicker than 55% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 261 miles (420 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 50% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 45th of 48 saloons.

It uses around 4.6 mi/kWh (136 Wh/km), more efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 57 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 108 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 308 miles (495 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.

Second-hand, a 2023 example is estimated at £15,200–£16,800 and a 2025 one at £22,800–£26,000, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2023 car should still manage about 245 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
