2021 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus

The Model 3 is Tesla's compact electric sedan, positioned as the brand's most affordable car and a direct rival to the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4. Instant torque and a low center of gravity make the Model 3 feel quick and nimble, with responsive steering that encourages spirited driving. The cabin is minimalist, with a large central touchscreen controlling nearly every function and a glass roof that opens up the interior. Standard tech includes over-the-air updates, a 15-inch touchscreen, and Autopilot with adaptive cruise and lane keeping. The Standard Range Plus is the entry model, but it still gets you the same minimalist cabin and Autopilot as the Long Range and Performance trims. With a single rear motor and 263 miles of range, it's quick enough for daily driving and returns 142 mpg combined. The 18-inch Aero wheels are standard here, and they help maximize range while keeping the ride compliant.
