I pay 20 cents for a kWh of electricity so the Model 3 costs me about $2.70 in electricity for every 100 km driven or $27 for every 1000 km. In fact the car is better built than my 2017 Model S was so on my sample size of two I would assess that Tesla is continuing to improve quality as they scale production. All I can say is that my Model 3 is well built, has good quality paint and the car has no squeaks or rattles. I am sure, like a number of brands, that some owners get cars that are below par in this area. My lifetime electrical consumption for the car is 136 Wh/km or 13.6 kWh/100 km which is very good for a car of its size and performance.īuild Quality, Running Costs and Maintenance - There is a lot of commentary about Tesla build quality. It has a good spread of power and torque. Performance and Efficiency - The SR+ is not fast at 5.6 seconds 0-100 kph but I wouldn't call it slow either. I did cross shop the Model 3 with the BMW 3 series, Audi A4 and Mercedes C Class but each of those cars was more expensive (I paid $71 358 OTR in Brisbane - December 2019), slower and had higher servicing costs. Having experience with the range of my Model S (which is the same as the SR+) I decided to order the base Model 3 in the free colour which was white. Why a Model 3 - I always wanted a Model 3 and purchased a Model S to tide me over until the Model 3 arrived. I have had the car for over a year and have racked up 23000 km so thought now would be a good time to provide an ownership update. The brand is expected to make its entry into the Indian market in 2018, with the first product launch being the Model 3 sedan – a likely rival to the likes of the BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Audi A4 and Jaguar XF.As a former Telsa owner (2017 Model S75) I had no hesitation ordering a Model 3 Standard Range Plus (SR +) when they became available in Australia. Tesla’s vehicles are produced at its factory in Fremont, California, which is capable of producing 2,000 cars a week. Since 2012, the carmaker has expanded its range to include the Model S family sedan and the Model X crossover, with the Model 3 sedan slated to join the family soon. With over 2,400 sales to its name, the Roadster got the ball rolling for Tesla. The 2-door electric sports car offered a range of nearly 400km and a 0-100kmph time of under 4 seconds. Founded in 2003, the brand’s claim to fame was the Lotus Elise-based Tesla Roadster, which was launched in 2008. Tesla has been electrifying the global automotive scene quite literally.
