It accounted for 16% of all new car sales worldwide in 2019. And it's an increasingly common sight on the roads.

It’s a supercar-style kick in the back, but one which doesn’t relent for gear changes (as of course there aren’t any) and feels linear in its delivery. Wired The Tesla Model 3 is not just a smaller version of the Model S. It's better than a Model S in so many areas.

Driving experience
The Tesla Model 3 allows you to customise your drive, from steering style, to regenerative braking settings and launch mode you really can make it your own. The drive is smooth, and once you get used to the screen rather than a traditional dash, it is seamless.
