    Tesla Model 3

    The Tesla Model 3 is a mid-sized electric sedan that helped bring EVs into the Australian mainstream. It combines strong performance, long driving range, a minimalist cabin and access to Tesla's charging ecosystem in a relatively attainable package. The updated Model 3 adds more refinement, improved ride comfort and a quieter interior while keeping the simple touchscreen-led layout that defines the brand. It appeals to buyers who want low running costs, rapid acceleration and modern software without moving into an SUV. Practicality is strong for a sedan, though the interface and limited physical controls are not for everyone. It remains one of Australia's most influential electric cars.
