Thinking about making the switch to electric, or perhaps upgrading your current EV? The Tesla Model 3 has certainly captured a lot of attention since it first hit the roads. It’s a car that really put Tesla on the map for many, moving beyond early adopters to become a mainstream contender. Unveiled back in 2017 and arriving in the UK a couple of years later, this four-door, five-seat saloon has proven to be a popular choice.
When you're looking at a used Model 3, you'll find it comes in a few different flavours, primarily differing in their electric range. You've got the Standard Range Plus (which is now often just referred to as the Model 3), the Long Range, and the Performance models. The range can vary quite a bit, from around 254 miles for some of the earlier or standard versions, all the way up to an impressive 438 miles on a single charge for the Long Range variants. That's a significant difference, and it's definitely something to consider depending on your daily commute and longer journeys.
Browsing the current listings, it's clear there's a healthy selection of used Model 3s available. We're seeing quite a few from 2021, often the Long Range AWD models, with mileages that can range from the low 20,000s up to over 60,000 miles. For example, there's a 2021 Long Range AWD with just over 23,000 miles on the clock priced around £22,598, which includes a £1400 saving. Another 2021 Long Range AWD, with a slightly higher mileage of around 33,000, is available for £21,498. Even a 2019 Long Range AWD with over 51,000 miles is listed for £16,798, showing that there are options across different price points and mileages.
For those looking for a more recent model, there are also 2022 and even 2023 RWD and Long Range models appearing. A 2024 Model 3 RWD, with a modest 20,000 miles, is on offer for £28,898, with a notable £1100 saving. These newer models often come with updated features and potentially better battery efficiency. It's interesting to see how the prices are shaping up, with many of these used examples offering substantial savings compared to their new counterparts, especially when you factor in the deposit and monthly payment options that are frequently advertised.
When you're in the market for a used electric car like the Model 3, it's always a good idea to check the specific variant, its battery health (if possible), and the overall condition. The variety of trims and model years means there's likely a used Model 3 out there to suit different budgets and needs. It’s a compelling way to get into a high-tech, electric vehicle without the brand-new price tag.
