Fast, Agile and Super Cool…The Tesla Model 3

It’s hard not to see a Tesla Model 3 anywhere these days, and with good reason. A solid blend of performance, range and attractive styling make the 2022 Tesla Model 3 one of the hottest EVs on the market.

The Tesla Model 3 is a mid-sized, all-electric, four-door luxury sedan and comes in 3 different trims. The Model 3 Rear-Wheel Drive, the Model 3 Performance and the Model 3 Long Range.

Here’s why this one-of-a-kind EV is one of the most popular electric vehicles on the road.

Power and Performance

The Tesla Model 3 is one of the smoothest and most silent EVs out there. The battery is placed under the floor, giving it a low center of gravity, so handling around corners feels crisp and stable. The Model 3 is known for being fast even in the base RWD model, but the Performance Model is off the charts if you’re into whiplash-style acceleration.

283 horsepower
0-100km 6.1 sec

Model 3 Performance

Model 3 Long Range

Range, Battery and Charging

Depending on what Tesla Model 3 you choose, the range on a full charge can be anywhere from 438km to 576km. It’s pretty simple to charge a Tesla considering there are over 30,000 Tesla Superchargers in North America. A Tesla Supercharger can give you 320km of range in just 15 minutes. A level 2 wall charger can provide a full charge in about 8 hours for home charging.

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo

If you have never been inside a Tesla, you’re in for a treat with the Model 3. It is

astonishingly simple at first glance, which gives it a super modern vibe. A 15-inch touchscreen sits in the center of the dash and serves as the motherboard for all driver controls. Navigation, Bluetooth and USB connectivity are standard; however, there is no Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. What’s cool is that the central display offers several entertainment options like Netflix, YouTube, and arcade games so you can keep yourself occupied while sitting and charging.

An all-glass roof gives a sense of openness, adding to the spacious and airy feel. Although the front seats are comfortable, the back seats are a little cramped, making it harder for bigger adults to sit back there. What the back seats lack in comfort, they make up for when folded down, making room for 15 carry-on suitcases.

Safety and Driver-Assistance Features

Tesla designs every electric vehicle they produce to exceed safety standards. A rigid steel structure, impact-absorbing rails and center pillar reinforcements keep the Tesla Model 3 strong and protected from every side. The placement and weight of the floor-mounted battery pack give the Model 3 a low center of gravity, giving it a very low rollover risk.

Key safety features include:

  • Standard automated emergency braking
  • Standard lane-departure warning
  • Standard adaptive cruise control
