The Tesla Model 3 has become an exceptional value proposition in the used car market, with prices now starting below £15,000 - representing a 65% saving over new prices.

First introduced six years ago, the Model 3 continues to feel more modern than many current EVs. Its minimalist interior layout, dominated by a central touchscreen, remains fresh though it may require an adjustment period for new owners.

Key features include:

• Autopilot adaptive cruise control with lane-keeping assistance
• Access to Tesla's reliable Supercharger network
• Automatic billing through the vehicle
• Strong battery performance (original range holding up well in high-mileage examples)

At £15,000, buyers can expect a 2019 Standard Range model with approximately 60,000 miles, offering:

• 278 miles claimed range
• Excellent battery longevity
• Modern tech features
• Spacious interior

For £20,000, the Performance version becomes available, featuring:

• 0-60mph in 5.3 seconds
• 300+ mile range
• Enhanced driving dynamics
• Superior performance capabilities

While interior quality may not match premium German competitors like the BMW i4, long-term durability has proven impressive, with high-mileage examples showing good wear resistance.

The combination of advanced technology, reliable performance, and now attractive used pricing makes the Tesla Model 3 a compelling option in the electric vehicle market.
